The boyz have been having a great time for Snow week despite that cold weather. Each day has been a dress up and Thursday is class color day. So we have Tabor going orange~ Tanner red and Dalton purple. Tanner went as the Fonz one day and if he told anyone else to SIT ON IT we were diffently going to sit on him. Tabor's team only had one game cancelled due to the wind chill on Tuesday but had a great game Monday night aginst SleeyEye. He's still getting use to using a knee brace but we'll see how it goes Friday night when we host Madelia.

We had another great night of basket ball and pep band. Tanner's ( purple horn top row) pep band rocked out between the games and at half time. And Tabor #52 had his best game played not getting 1 foul. Came up elbows swinging every time. Coach told Darin that Tabor is the best hockey player on the team. Speaking of hockey only a few days until the Sioux come to town for a 2 game shoot out with the Maverick's( Mankato State Unv. ) and we have seats for both days. Sorry N.D. we've been here long enough we'll be wearing purple and gold.

Hello Tanner did you not know that that tree has branches? With no sporting events to travel to on Sunday the boyz took full advantage to enjoy the 2 new to us snowmobiles we got this week. They had a great time and even took turns putting on over 100 miles today. Even Mom got on and road a hot lap around the yard. We sure hope mother nature brings us more snow the fields are getting a little rough.

With Christmas behind and all the busy holiday basketball games done and WON. We decided to let 2007 go doing what out family enjoys best...... one last day pheasant hunting. Mom brought the new camera along to capture that last memories of 2007. They Canby farm was filled with does and this time of year they have very dark fur. And why don't they come that close during deer season one will never know. Blue was spot on flushing the birds out now if we can just train her to tell the difference between hens and roosters. Tanner caught a bird in Grandpa's tractor and Dalton gave snowboarding a try off the back of the trailer. Only 10 more months until pheasant season opens again. Goodbye 2007........... Hello 2008
