Basketball, Basketball, and More Basketball


We have been practicing three times a week for basketball.  Yes, you read that right, three times a week.  It's actually pretty fun and I know the kids are loving it.



The Wives' Club had our annual downtown dining week dinner.  It's always at a fun restaurant and of course, only $20.16 since it is 2016.  Such a fun night.


Brody and I liked the new filter on snapchat.


This is what we do on Friday nights now...



But we got our jerseys and the entire team was so happy.  The rec league pics NBA teams to mimic, and we are the Grizzlies.  Woo Hoo.

And Mason is #2 again.  Same number as tball and his Daddy's number in high school.  I promise they just hand us a jersey, but this is what he ends up being.


Watching football Saturday morning with Captain America...


It got a tiny bit cold this week.  Sweater Weather.


The entire first grade sang at the Tara Oaks book fair at the local Barnes and Nobel Tuesday night.  I don't think they were expecting the entire class, but it was close to it.  So many kids and parents.


Mason did so well.  He knew all the words and motions.


We could hardly see, so we watched through one of the phones in front of us.


Mason had to leave immediately and head to Scouts.  Brody walked around looking for Christmas presents (and not understanding we couldn't get them that moment).  But he was so excited to see the Tara Oaks Tiger.


After a few days of no listening....we brought out the Santa card.


This is what Brody and another little brother do during basketball practice.  They play on phones and have their own game of 3-4 year old basketball going.


John was teaching Mason some tricks after a scrimmage.


Mason has written us two letters this week while he should be asleep. John and I were laying in bed and heard it coming under the door.  The first was a letter telling us him and Brody loved us and hoping they had been good that day.  The second was a two page sci-fi story he made up.

We've had to break it to him that although him writing and being creative is good....you just can't do it when you are supposed to be asleep!


Brody had to turn in a turkey disguise.  We chose Olaf because they only had white feathers at the store.  He was pretty proud of our hard work.



Thursday night, while the Dads were bowling, Becca and I took the kids to dinner and ice cream.


These five have a blast together....even if they are loud and crazy while doing it.  =)


Today was Brody's schools Thanksgiving Feast and Native American Day.
He was thrilled.





They love each other.


I was sent this picture and I'm fairly certain Brody is saying to himself, "they actually want me to eat this mess?!"  


Happy Almost Thanksgiving!!!
