Two Rocket Scientists

This last weekend we overheard Justin and Kaitlyn in the bathroom:

Justin: Hey, Kailtyn come stand on the scale with me, lets see how tall we are!!

A short while later Kaitlyn replied," Oh Boy 60 bucks!!"

An Afternoon at Island Water Park

On Sunday Afternoon our family went to Island Water Park in Portage, by the time we arrived there it was mid afternoon. The sun disappeared in the first few minutes of our swim and the wind picked up. Kate and Chris went down the big waterslide a few times but finally it got too cold to leave the pool except to use the small waterslide. We thought maybe we should leave but the kids were having fun despite the cold. We pulled Charity out and dried her off when we noticed her bottom lip wouldn't stop quivering. After our swim we warmed up with some pizza at Pizza Hut. Despite the cold, everyone seemed to have a good time.

A Fact About Winkler

Justin came running into the house this morning; with a brilliant discovery.

"Hey Mom, there are bugs in this town!!" he very excited announced.

To all those who didn't know!!!

Justin - No Training Wheels?

Check out what Justin learned to do Sunday afternoon:

We took the kids to the school grounds on Sunday and Justin rode his bike around the entire track without his training wheels. We are so proud of his accomplishment.

Kaitlyn enjoyed learning to pedal on the tricycle, she is doing well. Her next task is learning how to use the handle bar, so that the trike will go in a straight line not just a circle.

Planting Potatoes

Justin and Kaitlyn had a blast planting potatoes. It was a cool windy day, but by the time we were ready to call it quits, Kate was very wet and loving it. When Chris and I were not quick enough and there were no holes to water or plant a potatoe in, they would make a hole (just anywhere), put water in it and then a potatoe, and dirt to cover. We were lucky they only put a thin layer of dirt onto the few strays.



At the end of the day stage one of our planting experience is complete!! The existing piece of garden is planted, and hopefully next week we will break new ground for the rest of our garden.

I (Chris) have been working at General Metal Fabrication since the beginning of February. I was hired to be a customer service rep but I've been welding in the shop until the new office opens. Though my time in the shop has been good, I'm looking forward to my first day in the office on Tuesday.
