Finally Time for Basketball

The boys have been so excited to start playing basketball and they have finally gotten their wish. Here is Mason playing some locked in defense at practice



Henry playing a game while waiting for a brother's basketball practice to end


Nixon handling the ball during practice


Henry and I had fun playing mouse trap together one day


Kim got together with friends for a birthday party


Henry helped Kim make some chocolate chip cookies


Kim and I decided that we want to go on a cruise so we invited some friends and we had a meeting where some of them made some proposals on which cruise line, destinations, etc. February 2026 should be fun!


Go Fish for the win


Nixon and Mason got to go to the archery range for their primary activity


They both did very well



Bullseye!


I took Lyza out for dinner this last weekend to celebrate her amazing grades


The boys had basketball photos yesterday




Henry and I had our second game and we won! You can see Henry here watching the shot and hoping he doesn't get hit with the ball ;)


Here he is playing some intense defense


I won't mention all the sickness we have been fighting over the last couple of weeks. Instead, I choose to focus on the positive.

Have a great week!

Happy New Year!

 Let's catch up...

Kim took the boys to Flying Squirrel after Christmas to burn off some energy




On New Year's Eve we went to a friend's house and ate good food and played some games




And let the kids ring in the new year


2024 was a GREAT year with some big changes


New Year's Day we woke up to some fresh snow


Mason and Henry worked hard on their new Lego






Henry got a date to the pie shop


The hover board that Henry and Mason got on Christmas day was defective so when the new one arrived I had to test it out ;)


Henry helped make breakfast this morning


After breakfast we took the new hover board (that also came with a kart attachment) to the church for them to test out




We also played some basketball


Then we went to Cat Tales in Spokane


Black bear


A howling wolf


Lots of tigers




If there was no fence between us...



What does the fox say?


And then the scariest wildlife of them all





We have missed our elf on the shelf so much Nixon has decided to take his place


Remember a few pictures ago when I said we played some basketball? Well, Henry bounced the ball into his mouth an lost a front tooth. The next day we pulled the other one...


Kim, Nixon, and I went skiing on Thursday to Silver Mountain (45 minutes West of CDA)



It was beautiful up at the top of the mountain with all the trees covered in snow




We were above all the clouds as well





We made a good trio


Nixon loves jumping at the terrain park at this mountain


Riding the gondola down after a big day of skiing (Nixon was so tired)



What a smile!


Take care and have a good week!
