Days With the Duerksens

We have loved watching the Winter Olympics for the last couple of weeks. Caiden likes the snowboarding and hockey while Cambry sort of watches skating. The other night, Chelan came up with a new activity for them -- Ski Jumping! He actually inclined the treadmill, started it up, and off they went! They even have "skis" (my slippers) and a helmet (Caiden's bike helmet). It's such a riot to watch and they love to see how far they can jump! They really so have pretty good form! :)

My favorite party of Valentine's Day? Chocolate! So, I made a double layer chocolate cake for V. Day/my Birthday. I love it -- Caiden said it's actually too chocolate-y for him! More for me . . . Beautiful flowers from Chelan! The best part of the weekend, though, was Saturday night when we bowling together -- sort of a family birthday party. I wish I had taken my camera. Cambry bowled her own 10frames -- and believe me, it took the ball a looooonnnngggg time to get to the pins. She waited almost every time and then rushed back to our seats to yell out how many she knocked over. Caiden also did very well -- even looking back at us several times with a nod and a wink, as if to say, "Are you ready for this one?" I even scored over 100 this time (yes, we were on a bumper lane), but Chelan beat us all! We topped the evening off with ice cream at Braum's -- yummy!
