Everything but the Kitchen Sink! Part 2

We went to the Kid's Bowl-a-Thon for the Max Foundation in February. We watched the kids bowl 2 games and have lunch. What a good time for a great cause!











Keegan is sitting pretty, or I guess you could say handsome in his bumbo. Sorry kiddo for the color but we weren't sure we would ever have a son so we just kept buying pink and purple things before we knew we were having you! Well, Keegan loves the bumbo and has been sitting in it for about a month and a half now. These are pictures of his 2nd or 3rd time sitting up at bird's eye view.


Kris is one volunteering machine! First it was the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation (Jerry's Kids) in September, then he grew a mustache for a month to raise money for (could you really even call it that because it was hardly noticeable due to his blond/grey facial hair), and he volunteered as a griller at B.D. Mongolian Grill for the Special Olympics. May I mention he goes all out for these fundraisers. He even researched what someone needs to do to get better tips and used these skills while grilling to raise even more money. Talk about gong the extra mile!



The girl's school has an annual dance around Valentine's Day, so our whole family went and had a great time. Kris set the tone for the whole thing by being the first parent to dance with their kids. If you are ever at our house you know that our girls like to dance, and the youngest, Ellary, is the dancing queen, except for at the dance she nearly got ran over by a bunch of rowdy boys just running circles in the gym so she was always on her guard.


Although it's beginning to look a lot like spring now that the snow has disappeared, I still wanted to share some pictures of the girls playing in it. The first picture, however, is of Alyson and Mr. V digging the snow away from our mailbox (Kris was at work when Mr. V tackled the mound.) A city plow tried to maneuver around our culdesac taking more snow than he should at one time and got stuck right in front of our mailbox, leaving a massive hill of snow behind.

This was Ellary's first year to really enjoy the snow. She wasn't so keen on sledding but sure helped build our start-off mound.
