Puzzle Competition

I competed in my first ever puzzle competition with some friends and we came in third place. Not too bad.

Curling League

Danny joined a curling league with people from his NDSU lab and if that's not the most North Dakota sport, I'm not sure what is. I'm really happy that he's learning and enjoying this new sport. He gets to meet up with his co workers every Tuesday night for the next couple of months to play and I love this for him.

His games go really late into the night so I get to watch the live stream from the comfort of my bed while all our kids are fast asleep.

Glasses ☺

This is long over due, but I finally got some new much needed eyewear. ☺

Turns out I only really need them for driving and night time when my eyes get 'tired' but I'm trying to get used to wearing them frequently.

Addie Date

Addie was the first to cash in on her one on one date. She chose Dairy Queen.

Picture was taken on Danny's phone so not the best quality but the time together was of full quality. :)

Hoarfrost

I've never heard of hoarfrost before but I'm now a huge fan of it's beauty.

Christmas AI Pictures

I may have had a little fun playing around with AI.

Hockey Helpers

The boys got to be little hockey helpers for the local high school here. It was adorable! They were able to do it for two different games. I wish I would have signed them up for more because of how cute they are skating with the high school boys. One of the players is the son of Grant's first grade teacher last year. That was a cool surprise to see her there with quite a few other teachers that the kids all recognized from their school. Hudson and Grant helped pick up pucks from the rink, skated with the players and lined up with the team as their names were announced.

Game 1

We were able to stay and watch most of the game before going home to put the kids to bed.

Quinn was especially tired so we all started making faces to cheer her up. Luckily it worked.

Rylee Girl wanted to put on the hockey gear and got it on all on her own.
