Newspaper...

Ben and Conner were pretty excited when a teacher at school brought in the newspaper with their basketball picture in it! They couldn't believe they made it in the paper!!!

Alone Time...

We asked the boys to find something to do by themselves for a while. This was a funny sight to me since the boys hardly ever do anything in their rooms with their doors closed... guess they are growing up... Later Conner was showing us the song he wrote, complete with music notes and words written on paper! It was very cute!

Hockey...

We wanted to do something different tonight so we got tickets for the Cedar Rapids Rough Riders hockey game. We all had a great time! It was definitely something we will do again. The boys were funny to watch because they got so startled every time a player would get slammed up against the wall! We even came home with a puck! Before the game even started, when the team was warming up, a stray puck landed not too far away from us so we grabbed it!

Mixed Feelings...

After having to spend way too much money fixing a sensor on Nick's car, we drowned our sorrows at Five Guys for lunch. Ben and Conner loved the shakes.
