January 2014

January...what happened in January...I know, here's the family email of what happened in January:
Howdy-
January brought quite a few days of warm weather, but just the other day it's switched back to being cold. Even got a little snow yesterday! Girls had fun riding their bikes in it. Rodney had a couple FFA trips. One to Great Falls for KMON and the next weekend to Lewiston for a mechanics contest. His team won that, so they were pretty pumped up. Ruby Valley also hosted the speaking contests for the district the other night (creed, parliamentary procedure, prepared speaking and extemp speaking). RV got 2nd in parli pro, so they'll be competing at state for that. Rodney thought his early morning practices were over. :) Hannah is looking forward to her birthday, keeps asking how many more days until February. Nicole has started potty training. Thinks she's big stuff to wear pretty pink pullups. Girls are still acting like sisters; best buds one minute, worst enemies the next. :)
'Til next time-
Rodney, Amanda, Hannah & Nicole

Each Tuesday morning, Virginia City library has a story/craft hour. We don't make it every week, wish it was closer, but each time we go the girls have fun. Christine does a great job!
