We had an awesome three day weekend, but we do not have one picture to prove it! So, I will just have to tell you about it. First, Friday night we had Jake's friend party for his birthday. Think lots of cologne, a preteen movie, hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, sodas, and pretend movie making. Seriously, they have already embarked on making videos. I think I was in high school when my friends and I were making Debbie Gibson music videos. We had 4 boys over for the fun and to spend the night, it was fun. Addie had her first basketball game of the new season on Friday also. They did great and she played well. Some fast breaks, jump balls, and a basket. Saturday brought two more basketball games. Jake's game went good, but they lost. He was still asleep from the late night before, but managed to find a few moments of aggressiveness. Max played right after and had a great debut game. He scored at least 12 points and played awesome. He stole the ball more times than I could count. Then, we went to a friends birthday party and they all had fun playing football. Of course, Addie was right in there with all the boys. Later we went to get Addie's friend to go to church with us and then she spent the night. Sunday we played at home and then went to Max's baseball. That evening, we played tennis. I let Trey win. Trey had to work on Monday, but the kids and I had a great time running errands and getting flu shots. OK, maybe they didn't have fun getting the shots, but no tears and no screams. I am so thankful for my sweet family and I loved getting extra time with them. I hate running errands and shopping alone, so I love having them along. We really had a great weekend.
The kids have been loving their basketball seasons. I wasn't able to make it to Jake's game this weekend. Trey is his coach so they went to Jake's game while I took Max to his. It is such a bummer when they play at the same time! These are a few pictures of them playing. Addie trying to steal the ball, Max getting in the action and getting hit hard, Add eyeing the competition, and Max going for the basket. I'll add some of Jake next week!
This year we decided to stay home and have our own super bowl party with the kids. No one was really that into the game in our family, so we had a jungle pong tournament. We did have the game on in the garage and watched a little. It was fun to have time at home and with the kids, and they were good at jungle pong. I had to put the picture of Max on here in his footed PJ's. Trey doesn't understand how I can continue to buy them for him, but look how cute he looks. And he is my baby. He is rough and tumble all day long and all boy, so I think it is OK. He did have to wear different ones to bed because he kept diving in these on the garage floor. 
I know you cannot see Jake very well in this picture, but it was the best I could get. He is the one sitting behind the chair that says #2. He is slouching and staring off into space. Pretty much what he did the entire bee. He was less than thrilled to be there, but he did great. Again, he would not study. This was the county bee, a level beyond the school bee. He made it to the top 6. Good job Jake, we are proud of you!!!
