Our Friday night fun

We went to Larry the Cable Guy show on Friday night and enjoyed our floor seats. It was so much fun that we could hardly breathe. The opening act was this guy-Reno Collier who is just great. We predict that he will be a big star soon.

some people...

We went to see our favorite local band-Eli Cook and I had planned to bring the phone so I could catch some of the guitar solos while no one was looking. I had no idea this lady (45+ and should know better) would be going totally rogue on stage and then escorted off. It was the unfortunate highlight of the show.

now she will be escorted off

Super food-Quinoa

Do you recognize this plant? Would you like to prevent migraines, gallbladder disease, childhood ashthma, enjoy remarkable patience with your children and possibly save the world? If you answered "yes", then you need Quinoa. Just kidding about the save the world part.

I now have a personal trainer who is scrutinizing my every mouthful vs. caloric output which is how I became introduced to this super food. It is a complete protein and can be served breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is super easy to cook and quite tasty. Click on the video to learn how to cook it. Be sure to watch video to the end as the characters are sure to make you giggle.

(scroll to the bottom and turn of the playlist so you can hear the audio on the video)

Finally, some real snow!

The snow brought about a 2 hour delay. This means lots of sledding, snow ball fighting and rolling around. It should be up to 63 degrees by the weekend so we had to enjoy it while we could. Mike prepares a snow ball

Suri loves the snow, too

A measure or so

The snow was just beautiful and glittered in the sun

Suri gets a haircut

Even though she doesn't like getting a haircut at the time, she gets so excited afterward that she bounces around like a bunny. No shave down this time, just tring to manage the outercoat. I think she looks adorable with short hair. Looks like her baby picture

drywall up

Most of the drywall is up in the basement. It looks super. Here are some views. Up the stairs

Getting ready to go.

Michael at basketball

Michael got the award last week on his team for having the most hustling. Great job, Mike! Here are some snaps of what he does well.
