The boys and their new skateboards and pads. The boys bought them with gift cards they got from Gramma and Granpa Curtis for Christmas and birthdays.


We thought Dylan was at an age where he wouldn't make a mess when he ummm, well you know, held carab chips in his hand until they melted and made it look like he had poop all over his hands, but I guess we were wrong. The kids love their skateboards. They wear the helmets and pads around the house all the time, and carry the skateboards all over too. We haven't been doing too much exciting. I'm leaving on Monday for Redmond, OR to take a class, I think I'm going to buy a skateboard for myself when I'm down there, so in a couple of posts you should be able to see pictures of me in some sort of cast. I made an atlatl today, tomorrow we're going to go out in the woods and make some spears for it. The boys are pretty excited to try it out, so I'll try to get some video of them. I think we're going to go to Missoula to the hotel with the waterslides over President's Day weekend. Mom and Dad are maybe going to come up, that should be pretty fun. That's about it, hope everybody's doing well.

I have no idea how they ended up this way.
Simon doing his monkey routine.

Dylan's snow man.
Not much has been happening lately. It's rained a bunch last week, so we haven't been doing anything because the snow's all slushy and wet and most of it has melted. We decided to turn off our satellite TV a couple of weeks ago. We bought a wireless router and then got a program called PlayOn.tv. It lets us watch Netflix, Hulu, and a bunch of other stuff through our Nintendo Wii on the TV. It's taken us a little while to figure out all the quirks with it. If we want to watch netflix we can't have the internet running on the computer. If we want to watch something on Hulu, then we have to have the internet running on the computer. Hulu's got just about every channel we had on satellite, and we're saving $45 a month. That's about all that's going on. Hopefully the weather will be nice enough tomorrow to go outside and do something, the kids are going crazy being in the house this weekend. Hope everybody's doing well.
