Getting Ready for the Iditarod

We have officially renamed Kam to Balto. He was born to pull a sled. We put the pull harness we got for Kam for Christmas on him tonight for a trial run. He did pretty good. It will take some training and maybe a half dozen more dogs before we have full team. Enjoy the clip below.

Davenport Christmas 2010

The Davenport Christmas was awesome this year. We spent Christmas Eve with the Millers. We did the usual re-enactment of the nativity starting in Ezekiel and then we played a few games, and the kids opened their new pajamas. We went back home that night so Santa could come to our house. Christmas morning is always great! This year the girls slept in so we started after 7am, unlike the 5:30am in years past. Of note, Ashley got a sewing machine, Megan got a bike and AMG stuff, Kaitlyn got a bike and AMG stuff, and Britney got a Mickey Mouse set and a baby doll, and two husky stuffed animals (which she calls her boys). Tara got boots, clothes, Kindle, and two sausages. Dave got Call of Duty-Black Ops (he's excited to serve his country in the game) and an iPad which stopped the girls from playing with their toys and they lined up to play the iPad instantly. We also found out that Dave's Mom and Dad aren't going on a mission yet, and instead are sending us to a night at Outback Steakhouse. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Ice Skating on Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we spend the afternoon with Tara's family ice skating in Provo at the Olympic rink down there. We were going to leave Britney with Grandma, but decided to put on her some tiny blades of glory. They had these old lady walkers for the ice. Britney could barely do it, but Kaitlyn flew around the rink like an insane senior citizen midget. We had a fun time and tons of bruises. I didn't fall (I've got some skills), but the kids ate ice all afternoon (no blood fortunately).

Poo Yoos

Rosabelle Jo loves the Poo Yoos game on the Wii. So now Britney and Kaitlyn love it. It's crack for kids under 4 years old and it only costs five bucks. Here's a video:
