March 14, 2015 - More CLC Tournament

Today is Ethan's day on the blog.  He really looks forward to anytime he gets to play basketball.  And this tournament is just something special.  Ethan's team went 2-1, not bad at all.  Ethan got a lot of time at the point this weekend and did pretty well.  A lot of nice drives to the hoop.  And we learned he definitely gets a look on his face when he's about to drive to the hoop.

 

And we found this cutie at one of the games!  We just love Peyton, can't get enough of her!

 



March 13, 2015 - CLC Tournaments

CLC Tournaments started today.  It's Noah's last year playing in them so we had to get a few pictures of him.  He had a good time playing and his team went 4-0!  Dan and I coached and I even had one game solo.  My first experience as a basketball coach.  And I won.  I am undefeated so I am resigning.  Best record out there.  Couldn't have asked for a better team.  Thanks for making it so easy guys!

March 12, 2015 - Pajama Day

This could quite possibly be the best day of the year.  The kids get to literally roll out of bed and go to school.  They were all very excited to wear pajamas to school today.  Although I often joke with Ethan that he does this everyday anyways.  He's always in sweatpants and a t-shirt and he often just goes right to bed without changing.  It was also jersey day so some of the boys incorporated that into their pajamas.

 

We also had the first fire of the season tonight.  A nice surprise after I came home from the grocery store.  It was a little chilly so we didn't last too long, but it was a little taste of the summer to come.

 



March 11, 2015 - Dress Up or Twin Day

Bryce and Noah chose to dress up today but they were also twins with people at school.  Ethan and Ryan planned their outfits together and so did Sawyer and Jake.  I wish I could have gotten out to school to take pictures of each one of them with their twin.  But I couldn't, so this picture will have to do.  It was pretty chilly this morning so this photo session needed to be quick.

It warmed up as the day went on so Sawyer and I headed out for a walk and bike ride.  Couldn't resist going.  Spring weather is great!

March 10, 2015 - Crazy Hair/Hat/Shades Day

Noah was nowhere to be found last night because he was creating his masterpiece, the Snack Hat.  He drilled a hole into the brim of a hat and rigged up a canister and tube to feed him snacks.  Pretty ingenious.  And he wore some weird glasses too.

Ethan chose to wear his Big Head from State Baseball last summer.  This thing always makes me laugh.

Bryce went with a crazy wig and multiple hats.  I think I like him with blond hair better.

And Sawyer decided he wanted a 2 colored Mohawk.  I think this look fits him well.

March 9, 2015 - Red and White Day

This is the first day of Spirit Week at Messiah and the boys are excited to say the least.  Noah is determined to win a prize this year and put a lot of thought into his outfit.  All the boys did.  It's so nice that I don't have to come up with the ideas anymore, just help with the execution.  Enjoy the pictures this week, they're entertaining.

March 8, 2015 - Outside and Games

This whole weekend has been really nice weather-wise so we had to take advantage of it and get outside.  Ethan and Bryce played catch with Dan.

Dan and I attempted a walk around the block.  It was a test for me to see if I could make it without the boot.  I made it almost all the way but let Dan give me a ride the last bit.  I have to take advantage of this while I still can.

We ended the night with games inside.  A little cribbage with the older boys and Dan and then Liar with me.  It was a day filled with lots of good family time.
