Happy Valentine's Day!

"The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades!"

I guess we now have a "collection" of silly little kid sunglasses.

Trivia Night champions! We squeaked by in the final round for our 2nd win in a row. We attend these trivia night fundraisers in St. Joseph for fun and because we are pretty competitive. Our group consists of a librarian, English teacher, History teacher, SpEd teacher, Ag teacher, a music and car junkie and my husband, the sports junkie. We were missing two more, a science teacher and English professor - we have our bases covered!

A warm weekend

Wyatt LOVES to be outside (even if it is freezing). Saturday's weather was warm and we hitched up the chore boots and went outside! Wyatt immediately heads for the Quonset hut because that is where all the action is (cows and tractors).

Fortunately for us, Papa and Uncle Terry left the 4-wheeler up at our place over the weekend. Wyatt already knows how to drive it (sort of) and Derek and I both gave him rides around the yard and farm.

Wyatt loves to go with Derek anywhere. I don't know if it is because his car seat is in the front of the truck (as opposed to the backseat of my car) or it is some boy-gene that causes an affinity for trucks and farm work. Derek had gotten home and Wyatt "ran" over to the truck and tried to open the door.

Feeling bad he wasn't going anywhere to take Wyatt, Derek took him out in the lot to run water for his cows.

M-I-Z! The Big Monday MU-KU game was last night (yawn, tired today). MU came away with a win after a pretty good game, not really the first half though. While watching the post-game celebrations, Derek started yelling "There's Ethan, there's Ethan!" One of my past students had made it to the floor and gave Zaire Taylor a high-five! He is wearing the yellow shirt with dark hair. Way to go Big E! Are you wondering how I got this picture? We have DVR and rewound the game and paused it at this point. I then took pictures with my digital camera so I could email them to his Mom (Jenita had already gone to bed.) Z-O-U!!!

Super Party Weekend

The Holt household has a very busy weekend. Wyatt and I went to Tipton on Friday and then I went to Columbia to hang-out with my Sigma Kappa friends. We went to the MU-Baylor ballgame and then to our old haunts (B&G!). On Sunday we went over the the Schweizer's for the Super Bowl, apparently is was a good game but we were busy watching the boys!

Wyatt Holt and Cole Schweizer - having a blast at the Super Bowl party.


Lindy and Wyatt, Cole and Allison - this was a fleeting moment with both boys sitting still (sort of).

Megan Baumann and M.J.

Cole has all of these awesome toys he shared with Wyatt. They played along pretty good.

Cory and Cole teasing Greg and Madison - she will rule these boys when she is older.

Wyatt and Derek

Kelly Vogt, Kate Winker and Jessica Uhlmeyer at the Mizzou ballgame. I was really bad about taking pictures, or lack of.

Mizzou warming up for the game against Baylor. They won and very good game! It was the first sold out game of the year!
