Ice Skating - Wiped Out!



What a great weekend we had! It started on Friday for us, because MaKayla had a field trip with the Academy (this was the 2nd trip the 1st was to Bishop’s Pumpkin Farm in Oct. of 06)! Tina had a Dr. appointment around 9, so I took MaKayla and Christopher to the church to travel down to Roseville on one of the bus with the School, Ant stayed with Tina! Our trip was to an ice arena. This was our 1st time trying ice skating so I was nervous and excited, along with Christopher and MaKayla! I had the kids put on figure skates and I put on hockey skates! We had a lot of fun, Christopher and I headed right out on our own and MaKayla took comfort in using a “walker” type of devise to help her! And she had to stay in a certain part of the arena so the people who were not using those could skate more freely. So I spend time with both her and Christopher going back and forth helping and encouraging them as much as I could! And as it was my first time I needed some as well and one time I fell and MaKayla must of saw it because as I was getting up she was right there to say, “You fell, are you ok!!” Tina met us down there near the end after her appointment and was able to snap some pictures. The kids did so well and by the end of our time there MaKayla was skating around without any help, and Christopher was doing spins on the ice!

Saturday came and it was back to work for Tina, as she has been working every Saturday of Feb. So, the kids and I worked on homework and did a craft project of painting some Zoogles that they have had for a while and we haven’t even opened yet! They did a great job on there’s and will be able to show you in person soon! When Tina came home it was back to work, in the barn that is, because we went out and went through about a 5th of the stuff in the Barn as we try to clean out and get rid of things we don’t need anymore!

Sunday we had a pretty normal day of church and more cleaning up of stuff in the trailer! Tina did an excellent job of cleaning Sunday night as she stayed home because MaKayla wasn’t feeling good and had a fever!

Monday it was back to work for Tina as she didn’t get the holiday off! And for me it was another trip to Roseville, this time to get the Van in for its 15,000 mile check up! Amazing to think we got the KIA with only 4,000 miles on it and we’ve put 11,000 on it already! But, now that I am driving the VW Fox to work we have really slowed down the miles we have been adding! After the appointment we ate lunch with Tina and played games until I had to pick Tina up and head to our “Dinner for 8” at the Pastors house! Tina and I are so happy we decided to be apart of the “Dinner for 8”. We had a great time of fellowship with everyone in our group!
