We played “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader” on Saturday night (David, his mom, Tanner, Ashlyn, McKenzie and myself). Ashlyn was the only one that went home with money!! Just so happens… all this stuff is fresh on her mind I guess. (She’s in 6th grade).

When you are playing your turn, everyone else playing writes down their answers when the question is read. If you don’t know the answer, you can choose to peek at another person’s answer or copy their answer (without looking to see what it is).

David’s first question on one round was “First Grade Music: Is the oboe a member of the wind family or the brass family of music instruments?” David wasn’t sure, and Tanner said “Dad, you can copy someone’s answer that is in band”. (Tanner plays the clarinet in the school band). David decides to copy his answer and Tanner (full well knowing that the answer was Woodwind) had written “Brass” hoping that David would copy his answer. It worked, he totally tricked him. It was SO funny.

This was a fun game. Frustrating for the adults I think… but fun anyway Does this look familiar David?

Katy’s Winter Dance

Katy’s Winter Dance was on Saturday. She went with a guy named Lucas. Aren’t they cute together? She spent the day with my sister, getting ready and having her hair/nails done. She was really nervous to begin with but ended up having a great time and was completely relaxed by the time I picked her up.

Ashlyn’s Basketball Team

Ashlyn’s basketball season is getting close to over! They haven’t won any games, but they are learning the game and their skill is improving. After all, it is her first time playing ever!

Libby - #1 Blazers Fan

Friday night was Pet Appreciation Night at the Blazers game. We sent in a picture of Libby but I don’t think they showed it. Isn’t she cute?

Bailey’s Date With Plain Grandma

Grandma made a date with Bailey a few weeks ago, to take her to hot chocolate and to dance on Friday. She had a GREAT time and was even able to squeeze Subway out of the deal
