Tyler and I have been enjoying the 3D printer he got for Christmas. He designed and printed some specialized hooks for his headphones and VR set. We been designing and making model rockets that can carry a GOPRO camera. Haven’t had much success yet, but that’s part of the learning process. Jake has been busy with soccer and Tyler with Rugby. Tyler had a match up in Orange County on Saturday, after that we met some friends at a fun center up by Magic Mountain for Jake to get his 1^st place trophy for the race series he did at the end of the year. Since we were there, we got a hotel and went to Magic Mountain the next day. Kristin was a trooper as she had just came back late Friday from a business trip and then hop in a car and spend the weekend up North. She is a great Mama!

Lots of sports this weekend. Jake’s soccer team won on Friday. Tyler had his first Rugby scrimmage on Saturday. Kristin and I are slowly starting to figure out how Rugby is played. Took the boys riding on Sunday. Jake got to sport his new graphics on his bike and Tyler his new gear.

Getting back to normal after New Years. The Idaho cousins were supposed to come for a visit but unfortunately a snowstorm stopped their plans. We celebrated Kristin’s 50^th birthday with dinner at Benihana’s. The kids and grandma had fun watching our chef cook our food with his jokes and tricks. We met the Ames boys for some go carting and went to Hooters afterwards. Relaxing New Years with the Ceglie’s playing some pool. Grandma and the boys played quite a bit of high stakes garbage card game during her visit. She headed back to Idaho today.
