Our busy January

Those of you that follow our blog may have wondered why I became such a slacker lately. Well, it wasn't all my undoing. Thanks to us, two camera happy parents, we have taken tens of thousands of photographs and have essentially maxed out our computers hard drive with pics and videos. We need a new computer and one with tons of memory. Yes , we have them also saved on an external drive but it's not easy to access, blah, blah, blah. Basically the computer was shutting down with a simple download request from me. I was told to just stop trying to monkey with the thing and I did. Just recently Jay deleted a years worth of outtake shots that were on the memory to clear up some space and I am now back to blogging, but it most likely won't last long.

Here is a smorgasbord of our January fun.


Snowshoeing with their friend Simon and his family. At about the half way point on our hike, Henry melted down and was sitting/lying on the snow more than he was upright. Thanks to some quick thinking from Simon's dad who managed to lure Henry into some racing down hill games so we could enjoy the beautiful day without listening to a crying kid.

Snowshoeing can make for one sweaty head!!

We had so much fun watching the UW women's hockey team play the U.S. women's Olympic team (which was full of former and current Badger women). If that game was any indication, the Olympic team is ready for action and will be fun to watch this February. Thanks to Miss Laura who rallied the troops down to the glass and whoop it up in hopes of coaxing Bucky over to them.

Dress up fun with Lennon, Aidyn and Hadley while taking a break from their parade

Bryn with baby Beckett.

We literally had front row seats of a Badger Womens B-Ball game and were there to cheer on Eliot who was a towel boy during the game along with the rest of the Pickhardt family and friends. The following picture is my absolute favorite. Seeing that the kids were in the front row, Bucky was very close at hand. So close in fact that he plopped down right next to Henry. As you can see he was in awe that his favorite mascot was within inches! So excited, he couldn't bear to look at him......





All that excitement equals two worn out kids!
