What we have been up to~ January 30, 2009

The boy’s basketball has almost come to a hault. I think they only have three games left and then it’s done. So far Matt’s team has won every game. He is excited about that. Dylan is having alot of fun with it to. I wasn’t sure how he would be with it being that he doesn’t seem as outgoing and athletic as Matthew. He always seems to surprise me though.
Dylan and Austin are in Music lessons. I want all the kids to take music lessons but I thought I would start with Dylan and Austin and see how they liked it. Dylan loves piano lessons. He has learned so much already. Austin is taking guitar lessons from someone that was recommended to us. We are going to put Matthew and Mikayla in piano soon as well.

Here is the piano we got from Henry’s Music. It’s nothing fancy but the size is perfect for the kids. We are studying Bach and George Washington in school so I decided to print off two pictures from the internet and frame them. It adds a better decor to the home than having posters all over the walls. It really seems to help the kids get to know the people to. They already knew what George Washington looked like because, well, who doesn’t. But there are alot of people who would’t recognize Bach from a line-up of people. George Washington is going to be replaced soon but I haven’t decided by whom yet.

I can’t believe January is almost gone. It really went by fast. I am kind of glad because for some reason this winter just seems to long. Maybe it is because of the really cold weather and all the snow we have gotten but it has been dragging. I am looking forward to spring. I had a good birthday. The whole family went to Red Robin for supper. I picked that because I knew Dylan has been wanting to go. Hubby got me a purse as a gift.
We all went to the movies last week and saw Hotel for Dogs. It was really cute. I can’t believe the price to see a movie now days. It’s a good thing we don’t do that often. I just go for the pretzels and cheese. Just kidding.
Our family movie this week was Fireproof which I HIGHLY recommend! I can’t tell you how many times I started to cry. It was such a touching movie and you will never think the same when you are finished watching it. It is an awsome movie for a husband or wife or couple date night to watch together because it is about marriage.

Well, this is what we have been up to. I am getting a post together to let you know what we have been learning in school.

God Bless,
