Today Lex happened to be grounded so Nojah and I went snowboarding. He is getting much better and functions well on his own, but can't seem to get the t-bar. He had a little bit of a melt down today while we were there and was convinced everything would be better if we could just go to Anthony Lakes, where they have a "real chair lift" and "fluffy powder". After awhile he gave up hiking (I think he was pooped) and tried the t-bar and although he didn't make it to the top I am sure it won't be long. (as long as he has the Chamberlain "I think I can" attitude :-)

On Saturday he competed in the districts Elks hoop shoot contest in Hermiston. He didn't get first place but he did great. He has another 4 years to keep trying to advance. Alexyss opted to stay in LG at the last minute with her cousin Danny for the afternoon, while Isaac joined us. Grandma Teri, Grandpa Wes, MaKenna, and Grandma Val also came to watch him shoot, and as always we appreciate all the family support :-) It turned out to be 5 hours total of driving for 30 minutes of free throw shooting.

Nojah: We were very proud of you and how well you did. We felt bad coming in as you were shooting, hoping that did not distract you. We are so glad we made it in time. YOu are awesome. We are proud to be your grandparents. Love, G&G

snowboarding is so tiring and can really make you pooped and crabby! Hopefully as Nojah gets better he will have more fun!!
I love the sleep-over post. I miss sleep-overs!They are so much fun!
