Basketball...

Gavin played basketball for the first time this year and we have
LOVED it!  This kid is usually the smallest, but also the scrappiest!
He has amazed us and we're hoping that he might get to continue on
and play into the summer!  He is in a competitive league of 4th graders
(even though he is in 3rd grade) and we play at the YMCA in Jeff
every Sunday.  We have played in a couple of tournaments and they
have done extremely well and got the gold medal this past weekend!

Valentine's Day 2013...

This year we didn't have any big Valentine's day plans,

but Keith really surprised us when he brought Macey, Riley

and I each home our own bouquets of flowers!  So so sweet!

Macey's face was priceless!






 

Blake's 12th Birthday...

Can you believe it?  I have a 12 year old!  Blake had school
on his birthday and lunch with your middle schooler is frowned
upon, so I brought lunch for Blake to eat with his friends and left.
That night we ate with the family (where the older three all got food poisoning and were up ALL night)
 and Blake opened gifts.  He wanted
an IPAD for his birthday and I told him it was a possibility if he didn't
have a huge party.  So....he got an IPAD and a few friends to stay the night
and we were all good!  Really, really easy!

And about the only way I can love on my boy is a SNEAK ATTACK!

These Kids Have Style...

I want to remember this lovely fad that is in right now with the black socks
pulled up to the knees for the boys!  Blake leaves so early in the morning, that
he never gets to participate in the morning photo shoots!  You know he is sad
about that!  ;)  I also think it is so cute that Macey does everything her big
sister does, no matter what!  I love these crazy kids!
