2010...the final hours

Can't believe we are here again...the end of another year.
2010 was full of...well...everything.
Good things, bad things, funny things, silly things...
It's always interesting to look back over the past years
and look forward to lots of new adventures in the coming year.
As traditions go, we spent New Year's Eve with our
friends of 17+ years, the Jorgensens.
We started the afternoon at Jack and Jill's bowling.
Unfortunately, so did half of American Fork.
The kids were patient, and eventually we had our turn.

We were desperate for somewhere to sit. Since sitting at the tables
required a food purchase, we bought fries and onion rings.
Entertaining, delicious, and well worth the price of a chair.

Look at those soon-to-be 14 year olds....all grown up!

Ya gotta love all the help the bowling alleys have to offer...
bumper lanes AND this cool ball-holder-thing to help the little ones.

Laityn was determined to throw the ball without help...
she even worked into a running start.
Lucky us that she never took a spill running right to that line.

Carter didn't roll his ball...he literally threw it..in the air..
I thought he was going to put in hole in the floor for sure.

"Oh man! I didn't get strike!"

Maddy was pretty awesome...with bumpers of course!

Maddy and Annie

After two sets of gutter balls, we convinced Kenzie
to let us put up the bumpers for her.
Once she had them, she had a burst of confidence,
and only needed bumper saving a couple of times the rest the game.

Tim was all about the m.p.h.
Accuracy was nice, but speed was better.
21 m.p.h. was his top speed

Check out the gunshow from our little girls!

"Hey! I think my muscles are bigger!"...."I don't know, feel mine!"

Zac kept Jace fully entertained during the down time.
After bowling, we headed home for food....LOTS of food.
We ate, played games, watched a movie, played more games
and kept busy until just minutes before midnight.
At this point, we noticed Jace was missing.
A quick search of the house found him in his pjs,
under the stairs, fast asleep. Poor boy!

Get Ready....Five...Four...

Woke up...sort of...and pretty much pouted until
he could go back to bed.
