Hockey videos....

Run, ski, sled, hike, bike, soccer, hockey........

Had a major hard drive/mother board crash, but managed to salvage most photos.  Had a good dump of snow in November and then record breaking temps in December.

How to motivate the boy to go for a bike ride...a vanilla bean, almond milk, frapuccino

Dad's new Jeep Grand Cherokee.  The power of the 4.7L motor netted him 3 speeding camera tickets.  So he sold it 1.5 months later.  It was the motor's fault, not his heavy foot.  Didn't need it...the Sienna is much more comfy....and gutless with a 3L motor :)
