The Continuation

Well, for the first snowfall of the winter, we showed you Syler holding his first snowball. I promised snow angels were next.

The wait is over.








For what was hopefully the last snowfall of the winter, Syler enjoyed himself in the snow making a snow angel--with a little help from Mommy.


He could have taken a nap out there it was so peaceful.

Chess Tournament


Baxter played in his first chess tournament yesterday. He won 2 out of 5 rounds. He made some good friends and even won an award. Congratulations, Baxter.
You did great!

The school they played at had a huge chess set they could play with while waiting for the next round. We let Syler have a turn at playing.



I think he likes it.

Listen to Your Mother

So yesterday was Sunday. Spencer had finally gotten around to fixing the boys' bikes the day before. (You can see where this is going can't you?)

Zander asks if he can ride his bike. I give in.



The moral of the story? Listen to your mother. I knew I should have said no. The whole time he was out there I was thinking--Mom said never ride bikes on Sunday. New rule at Goble house--NO BIKES ON SUNDAY!

Busy Busy Busy

Last week was super busy what with 3 birthdays, the Blue and Gold Banquet, and a baptism.

The boys' new cousin was born on Sunday the 22nd. Then Granny Goon's birthday was the 23rd.

Baxter had his 10th birthday on Wednesday. We celebrated with a special dinner and his favorite brownies. Then he got to make a cake for scouts with his Dad.

Saturday was a special day for the boys' cousin Nikkolas--he got baptized! We enjoyed spending the afternoon with him and delicious sandwiches, drinks, and brownies.

That night we celebrated Baxter's birthday a little more with dinner and a movie. I felt bad that both Baxter's original picks for dinner and movie weren't an option. He finally decided on Inkheart and loved it. Dinner at Tepanyaki was a fun treat for all 3 boys--though Zander made sure to inform us he'll be choosing differently on his birthday.

Well, February went out with a flair! Bring on March's lion!!
