GOT one.

We went to Bethel last night and shocked them.  I'm pretty sure no one but us expected them to be out in the first round of the conference tournament!!  I am SO proud of our guys.

The kids and I surprised JD by showing up just as the game was starting.  He had no idea we were coming.  I just couldn't stand the thought of us winning and not being there!

Halle and Cate were pretty impressed that I knew one of the Bethel cheerleaders.

Sweet Madison played on a team that JD (and I) coached when Halle was a baby.  Cate declared that she was going to be a cheerleader too.  I declared that if she could do a back flip I would think about it.  :)   

Not joking.

 I'm glad I finished this up for Ty on Wednesday.  He. Was. Ecstatic. 

(It's just T-shirts pieced together.  And really not very well.)

 Jarvis and Jarvis:

  I laughed when Ty said, "HEY!  You're Jarvis and I'm Jarvis!  TWO Jarvises!" 

 

 

So we're off to Atlanta to play Life University on Saturday at 7:00 et.  They have beaten us twice this year (like Bethel) and we'll have to have another great game to get a win- but that's the fun part of this time of year: anything can happen.  

To watch the game on Saturday go here ----->  Life Basketball

Because it makes me laugh:

Cate was so proud to get every little bunny hooked together and arranged by color.  

JD was thrilled too.

So glad I have the picture to prove it happened.   Haha.  

This morning-

Ty started shooting baskets at 7:35.  I checked.  A few minutes later he came begging for shorts and a jersey (which is dirty). 

 What's that?  You don't have a basketball court in your house?    :)

 I finally painted the pink booster seat.  Ty was super happy to sit in it this morning:

 It's MondayCleaningDay and instead of TV I turned to the pile of boxes that didn't make it to the curb this morning.  These two played for two hours with them. 

They made a train:

(I also heard them discussing their rocket ships.)

 And then they became robots: 

I heard more "beeps" and "boops" this morning than ever in my life.

 (The downside to being a robot:)

*Yes.  Cate did get out of her pj's before lunch.  But just barely.

Jarvis.

 Ty spends a lot of time "being" Jarvis.*

 Today Jarvis was honored for scoring 1000 points:

 Ty drooled over that ball all.day.long.

(Pretending he scored "100 free throws":)

 It's so cool that he already has heroes.  (And that he has picked good ones!)

*Jarvis' name is invoked a ton at our house.  As in:  "Jarvis doesn't wear shorts when it's cold.  Jarvis eats the turkey on his sandwich.  And- Jarvis wears underwear like a big boy."    He has no idea how important he is around here!   :)

Phone Pictures

The doctor (nurse? surgeon?) is in:

 Isaac was gone when I finished changing the top bunk sheets (*one of my least favorite chores.)  I had to climb all the way down to find him:

 These "horses" created a system of "pastures" and "barns":

 We are in the thick of recruiting season- this year JD has taken a kid with him almost every time.  I love getting pictures of their "dates":

 Last night, Cate sent this one for Halle and Ty: 

 Their response:

 

 

Camera/phones are the best.  :)

Happy Presidents Day

I'm waiting to be called in for their performance.  I'm not sure what to expect. 

Poor old George and Abe will probably be joined by at least one princess.  :)

5 months (and 10 days)

Isaac loves his toes.

He isn't really scooting, but he can roll and maneuver where he wants to get.  And he can roll across the room quickly.

We're working on sitting up.  He's not very good.  :)

He goes to bed at 8 and wakes up once in the night.  (Usually.)

Still chubby.  Still happy.

Working on the two bottom teeth.  (Okay, sometimes not so happy.)

He likes to grab my face.  It hurts.

He usually sits still in my lap while I read at nap time.

 Hmm... No baby food yet.  He's chubby and happy without it, so we'll wait a few more weeks.
