Goodbyes and good times

on January 5th we said our goodbyes to Nates coach Rudy. What I thought was really nice about the service is all the kids from the football team got to sit up front on the floor with the family. What a nice way to support Rudy's family and especially Carter~ Nate's good friend. The boys looked so cute, most of them wore their football jersey's to honor Rudy, and the minister made a nice comment about the boys being there for support~ it made me tear up for sure!!

Well Nate's been busy, On Monday the 12th him and the rest of the 6th graders from his school all got to go on a skiing field trip~ Nate had a blast and couldn't stop talking about how much fun he had. He couldn't wait to get home and show me pictures of the jumps he took. Pretty darn good being his first time skiing ever. Tuesday was he after school trip to do some more snowboarding, Nate had such a blast skiing the day before that he wanted to ski instead of snowboarding~ I don't know if he had as much fun as the day before~ it was like -6 with a windshield of -25 ~ way to cold for my blood~ I don't know what the program people were thinking, that sounds like weather to not be out in. Nate said he stayed warm but he is ready to get back to snowboarding.

Nate has also been enjoying the local ice rink right around the street from oue house~ He thinks that he is ready to take on the highschool kids.

Nate had a basketball game this past Saturday, his team in now 6-1 , Way to GO!!!

Its been extremly cold here this week and we have 1 more day of subzero weather to deal with~ these are the kinds of days that you just don't want to get out of bed or leave the house.

Hopefully next time I will have some new pics of Nate~ he doesn't like me taking his picture. LOL
