Happy new year, everyone!!!  Hard to believe it's another new year.  On new year's day, josie asked how long  before it was 2010.  One year at a time, girl!  We celebrated our new year's eve by bowling with the kids.  We met up with michelle (my sister-in-law) and her family, along with michelle (my friend) and her family.  And our friend gail, with her 2 kids.  We had a great time.  Mark was on-call for work & got paged that morning.  His mind was a little preoccupied, so he bowled really bad.  Josie got the high score for our family.  She got a 92!!  I think my score was 88 and jakob's was 85.  Mark's score was ... well, let's just say we all beat him.  Here's a picture of josie & her cousin, brandon, cooling themselves down with the blowing air.  Josie didn't talk, but she had a great time.  

Jakob was really excited to be bowling by his 2 fav people, braden (pictured here with jakob) and his cousin, stephanie.

Jakob bowled good, until we got him a sprite.  After that, he was too busy drinking to bowl.  I bowled the last 2 frames for him & got him his only strike (and my only one, too).
