MONSTER TRUCKS!!!

The boys received tickets for the Monster Jam in Milwaukee from Santa for Christmas. Yesterday was the big day and it was loud....no really, it was louder than most concerts. It was so loud that I had to buy overpriced earplugs for Becky and I.

It was very entertaining and the boys had a lot of fun watching the trucks jump, race and crush stuff. They also had 4 wheel ATVs and little cars with roll cages that they also raced around the arena.

Not Just Sledding

We took the kids to Sunburst Winter Sport Park in Kewaskum. We didn't go to ski however, because they have an incredible 42 lane sledding hill! We spent a couple hours on the hill and it was made more fun because they have a "Magic Carpet" to get you back up the hill, kind of like a sledding escalator.

Christmastime fun

This holiday season we've had many adventures. From meeting Santa, to school musical programs, to church musical, Christmas Eve with one half of our family and Christmas day at home and with the other half of our family. Sam and Max are happy kids this year with all their treasures and time with family.

Sam's 8th Birthday

Sam turned eight this year and he shared his day with his cousin Grayson, who's birthday is the day after Christmas. So both of their birthdays are about the same week of December. Sam was very excited to be able to have his whole family at our house to celebrate with him.

Halloween 2014

For some reason, this year we had a very large number of pumpkins that needed carving. Everybody pitched in scooping guts and separating seeds, then I (Mark) carved them a couple each day until Halloween.

I have to say that the boys were quite the troopers (Sam literally) while we were out trick or treating on Friday. With the cold temps and the flimsy costumes, I thought for sure we would make it about two blocks before turning back home. We walked the Kohler neighborhoods for about an hour. The only thing that Max complained about was the scary zombie on our block who kept following him down the sidewalk as we walked past.
