We finally got out on the ice this winter. This past Sunday the boyz had a great time running between Uncle Paul's and Grandpa's fish houses. They all caught some nice sized perch but Darin only could snag the little ones. Uncle Paul tried to get Tanner to kiss his fish and the best part was we didn't have to clean any of them. Auntie Cherrie sent us home with two meals of fish ready for the pan. Hard to believe nobody stepped in the hole or got a glove wet. It's a far cry from when we used to take the boys out in the little calm hut.

The boyz had a busy Saturday of wrestling. Both Tanner and Dalton had an excellent showing. We thought this would be the last weekend for the boyz, but they BOTH qualified to go on to regional in Windom on the 29Th of March. Tanner finished 4Th for the day and Dalton got 2ND they must finish in the top 4 at regions to go on to State the first weekend in April. They will continue to have practice till that time. Tanner will be pulling double duty with track practice starting on Monday the 10Th.

Carefully buddy the last boy who got up in Dalton's face left the court crying..........
We had a very busy day of basketball in LeCenter on Saturday. The boyz all had a great time this season and learned a lot. When Dalton would make a basket he would point to Mom with his point total to make sure she was getting some pictures taken. They played 3 games that day and he never fouled out, so it was a moral victory. These are all classmates of Dalton a far cry from a year ago when Dalton was 1 of 4 kids in his class. We switch gears again for next weekend when Tanner and Dalton have a wrestling tournament in Springfield. Looks like both boyz will be sticking with wrestling.

Tabor was one of 8 students chosen from Nicollet to attend the S.T.E.M meeting in Mankato yesterday. And he was pictured on the front page of the Mankato Free Press. Well okay you have to look for him. ( Lt.Blue sweatshirt behind the engine) Tabor's buddy Nick is in the red shirt. S.T.E.M stands for Science-Technology-Engineering- Math. Hundreds of students across Minnesota traveled to Mankato to see first hand how these 4 subjects make the our world go round. This was right up Tabor's alley and can talk parts and pieces for hours.

Dalton had another basketball game tonight. A personal best he had 4 assist and only made 1 boy cry. Next year he'll need to decide if he's going to wrestle or play basketball. Dalton put up 7 points but the 5Th graders came up short. We have a game Thursday night and Saturday's tournament but we had made plans to attend the Gophers Baseball team clinic at the dome.
