The flu...

I am sick with the flu. I have had a high fever for two days now, but hanging out with my guys for a movie night tonight made the flu a bit more tolerable!

Success!!!

The boys headed out for more ice fishing this weekend. The weather was much nicer and they were able to fish outside of the tent for a while. Everyone caught some fish and I am told that the total was 19 fish between Ben, Conner, Dad, and Papa. I think they all had a great time! It is always fun when you are catching fish!!!





Last Game!

Ben and Conner have their last basketball game this morning. Conner refused to smile! They had a great game. Ben scored and both boys played another awesome game. They have improved their skills so much this season!

Ice Fishing!

Nick had told the boys that he would take them ice fishing today, especially since they were all excited about using the new tent and chairs! No fish, but they all had a fantastic time and made it home safely, so that is a success!

Happy Half Birthday!

With the boys' summer birthday, the school always announces their half birthday over the intercom. Since January 14 falls on a Sunday, they announced Ben's and Conner's half birthdays yesterday so they thought we needed to celebrate a little this weekend. We went to Zoeys Pizza for lunch and then we went to the movie Jumanji! They loved their pizza and zookie and we all really liked the movie. Happy half birthday Conner and Ben!!!



8am Basketball...

I have no idea why most of our basketball games are at 8 in the morning. Just lucky I guess. The boys obviously don't mind! They are still enjoying their basketball season!

Our Kind of Normal...

The boys had a basketball game this morning. They both did awesome and Conner even scored a basket! It was pretty exciting to watch! The boys talked me into some lunch at McDonalds, so then I talked them into some haircuts! It is good to get back to our kind of normal after being sick for so long and enjoy our Saturday together!

Land of the Living...

After lots of steroids, antibiotics, and breathing treatments we have rejoined the land of the living. School starts up again tomorrow and I think we will be able to make it! Today there were a few projects (legos and slime) that the boys have been anxiously awaiting, so we fit those in today. After an afternoon nap, we played board games until dinner. I wish we had more time off to do more of this, but... we don't. So I will just be thankful that we are all on the mend and we were able to have a fun day before we have to go back to school!
