Bingo with Andy Roddick!





I had the best night ever - we got to play bingo with Andy Roddick. Yes, he lost in the Australian Quarterfinals earlier in the week - and then he was playing Bingo on Saturday night with some of the guys from the Bobby Bones morning show. He is way hot and was technically in a different room than we were, but it was still cool to see him! And to think, I doubted Jessie in her Bingo idea - I officially apologize and Bingo is my new favorite game!!

More Basketball










We are halfway through the basketball season already and are still having a great time. The kids are doing great and they are all showing progress even in the last month. Bristol's game are still hilarious- they forget to dribble and look like running backs half of the time. They are cute and funny and very fun to watch. Beck's games are getting more competitive since the boys are getting older, they still don't keep score but you know that from listening to the parents. We still don't have any pictures from Madalyn's games because I can't do that and coach and Jeff is busy chasing the boys and yelling when he gets the chance to watch. All of her games this season have been two point games. We won the first one, lost the second and won the third - all by two points. We're about to play the same teams again, so we'll see how it goes!
Thebest part about the league, besides the kids geting exercise and having fun, is seeing all of the parents and getting to meet new parents in the area. I really enjoy getting the know the kids too - they are still so sweet and good. They aren't really damaged yet by all of the craziness that jades you as an adult. No broken hearts, everyone is your best friend and no bills to pay. :) Ah, to be a kid again!

Beck as a Marine



Beck's class had career week this week and he told the class that he wanted to be a US Marine like his dad. I helped him with his poster which included a Marine in boots and camo, but also included a radio, a pistol and a bomb. Well, it was supposed to be a canteen, but somehow after Beck colored it - it was a bomb. He's wearing one of Jeff's old hats from the Corps days.
The other crazy hat was one that they made to celebrate the 100th day of school. He is more than half-way through Kindergarten. Craziness.

Brenah turns 10!


Madalyn and Brenah celebrated her 10th birthday by selling Girl Scout cookies at Cabela's. this is Brenah's first year in the troop and she seems to be really enjoying it. They are both cookie selling fools and working towards lofty goals this year. 1000 boxes apiece - heaven help us.
