Basketball Grand Finale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is our happy girl at the first game of the day!

Big B and A ready for the rebound.

This was our melting down toddler at the last game of the night, eating our happy food m&m's!

This was Little B's little buddy he used to tumble with! Kind of cool to see them again.

If you look close you can see the red spots on Little B's face.

It was an eventful final day of basketball yesterday. We left the house at 9:15am and returned at 8pm. Five games, 2 locations, 1 allergic reaction, 1 sick husband, all equals 1 tired mom, 1 very grumpy 17 month old, but 1 very fun day! (minus the allergic reaction) Big B began the day with a game at 10 which they lost in overtime but still was awesome. Then we ran home to get Little B his uniform because he had spent the night at a friends house. We checked on Daddy T got his lunch, then we went back to Big B's 2nd game. Then we worked concessions for a little bit and raced to Little B's game that was about 2o miles away. He played a good game. He stole the ball once and shot a few times. During his game I noticed his face had some red blotches on it I thought he got hit or his normal reaction to the steroid he was on from his asthma. He kept playing I kept being clueless and we took pictures at the end of the game and rushed back in the car and headed back to Big B's game with a quick detour to McD's. We arrived at Big B's game and Little B said he needed some lotion for his hands I still being clueless told him it was in the diaper bag. We got in the gym and started to watch the game and all of the sudden Little B showed me his hands and I took the time to look at his face.........................his entire hands and face were blotchy and swollen he was having an allergic reaction to something. Of course this week my new (free!!) diaper bag came and I did not put the benadryl back in so we raced around town to try and find some and ended up driving home to get it. Once the benadryl was in him he felt better and back to game #3. Thanks to Jen for watching Baby B as we ran out to try and get the benadryl for Little B. We ended the day with game #4 against the other Oly team. The boys had a lot of fun playing one another. We got home all was back to normal and we ate and went to bed. Well until Baby B woke up sick. Another day another story!!! The boys really enjoyed basketball this year. They both had a great group of kids on their teams. So as Monday approaches bring on the track and baseball seasons, we are ready!

Just a few cute pics........

She dances to her own beat in life!!!!!

Are these the cutest or what!?

We finally had a warm day and we went outside to play. Well I cleaned out the van and the kids hung out outside while I was doing that! Baby B is definitely going to be an outside girl. I am so ready for some warmer weather, we all are!! The boys have their final basketball games tomorrow HOORAY!!!!!!!! I always think we will have a quiet week then, but nope track starts on Monday and baseball is going to be in full swing soon. We are pretty much in three sports year round and at some point 4. I am ready for the end of July and we will be down to 1 sport 1 day a week. Before then 60+ baseball games, 3 tumbling meets, at least 5 track meets, and 6 basketball camps. On top of that every other blessing God brings our way! I always tell myself we are blessed to have 3 kids that are healthy and active. I have to remind myself of that every now and then when I am stressed to the max and no end is in sight! Having said that let the running of sports begin or shall I say continue until July!

Walk Like an Egyptian!!

Big B had spirit week this week at school. The teachers picked male students from 6-8 grade to compete in a male cheerleading competition. Ok if you know Big B he is not our performer, but was actually thrilled he was asked (it helped that some of his friends were doing it too.) He had a great group of boys from his 6th grade class. They did not win the 8th grade group did but for their first year it was awesome!! I love our school and the fun things they have for the kids.

Everything is better with food!

Ash and Baby B

Big B had some friends over for the super bowl on Sunday. We had a house full of 12 year old boys. They really were good and not too rough. We had no broken bones and no broken windows so all was good!! They ate, watched the game, wrestled, ate, watched the game, and wrestled for about 5 hours!! Baby B was in heaven she loves her boys. She just sat and looked at them in the front of the room. They are so good with her. We are so thankful Big B has such a great group of friends!

The Results of Curly Sue!

Not too bad for our second attempt at curls. Denise one word SUCKER blueberry to be exact!! I gave her a big sucker and she sat on my lap as still as could be! She hardly ever gets a sucker and never gets to hold it on her own. I had a few sticky curlers when it was all said and done but worth the fun of her curly hair! Too bad they were all gone after her nap!

Ready for the Carpool Lane!

Couldn't resist!

Wiener Roast Winter Style

Brynlee was ready to eat them out of the package!!

We had a nice little family wiener roast last night with the kiddos. We had a fire in the wood burning stove and decided to get some brats and hot dogs. We will definitely be doing this again!
