BASKETBALL

Jaden started Basketball this year. I was surprised at how well he did for never having played any basketball. I have to say out of kids sports this has been my favorite.

It was fun and hilarious!

The little boys sure loved the bleachers.

A Perfect Snowy Day!

Finally the first wet snow of the year! After shoveling I thought it would be fun to build a snowman with Tyler. He said he wanted to make a Dinosaur, so I thought why not, and immediately started planning it out in my mind.

Tyler helped a little, played in the snow and then in the middle of the project started digging holes in it. I had to tell him to stop and go play. Now who was this for? Tyler or me? Me of course!

So three and half hours later there was a dinosaur Tyler named Cocoa in our front yard. Tyler gave up after two hours and I found him asleep on the couch. Tate was watching from his window in his saucer chair. Poor baby.

I have to say I really, really enjoyed myself.

I had told Mike about my dinosaur over the phone, so when he came home... he scooted out to see it. He was impressed. He did tell me he thought it was going to look like some weird snake or something. What little faith. See, my sculpting classes in college were good for something!

Another One Down!

Four days after spending hours in the ER with Mike, I made another trip to the ER with Tyler.
He and Jill were running after the ball downstairs and he tripped and fell into the table. I was upstairs and heard him crying, and thought nothing of it as the cry seemed like a small one. Jill then yelled up that there was tons of blood. I ran downstairs to GUSHING blood. No paniking though as the head always bleeds a lot. Although when I removed the towel the cut was very, very deep. I knew I was in for another trip to the hospital, so I called my dear friend Carolyn to watch the kids and we were off.

5 Hours later...... Tyler received 3 stitches. We had a great time playing games and telling stories waiting for our turn to see the doctor. He was being so brave.The stitching was horrible and hurt him so bad. I hated watching him in pain. But he bounced back as soon as he got a cool cars bandaid around his cut.



They say things happen in three's. I hope the next incident is just an ear ache.

The Old Man is Down!

Mike has offically become on Old Man. He slipped on the ice and broke his left foot. Not as exciting as when we were first married and he broke the same foot by a sweet jump on his motorcycle.

Tyler came into the room and said he broke his foot and needed it fixed too.

We have a couple of Couch Potatoes! It's a good thing the Olympics are on for the next few weeks!

Mike was able to borrow a cool scooter from a friend, which made the time so much easier until he could walk on his foot.

The kids had fun getting out their scooter and racing dad around the house.

This was a fun winter activity.
