YMCA Basketball

This was Addie's first time to play basketball.  We signed her up thinking that she would be on a girls team but there weren't enough girls so the made co-ed teams.  I was a little nervous at first but I think it really helped her become more competitive.

 Addie was on a really great team of boys (there were only two girls on their team) and the coaches were really good about having the boys pass to the girls.  Addie played best at defense but I definitely saw a big improvement in her throughout the season!

 It was so much fun watching her play, she even made a couple of baskets!

Austin also played on the YMCA boys team with a lot of his Ranch Heights friends.  They also had a good team of boys and he had a lot of fun.  He was pretty quick with the ball himself and I could see flashbacks of his dad playing every once in a while! :)

 Austin is always outside shooting hoops and playing around.  I've seen such a big improvement in him.  We had so much fun watching both Austin and Addie play basketball and hope they continue to love it!

Imagine Dragons Concert

My first concert was when I was a senior in high school I believe and we went to the Tulsa State Fair and listened to Little Texas.  Ok, maybe I was a junior.  But our friends thought it would be a fun Christmas present to get tickets for our girls to go watch Imagine Dragons.  They have some great songs, and their lead singer is Mormon.  It was a great idea, the girls were so excited!

All of a sudden, we were the cool parents!  They didn't even mind that we came along!  I can't believe how grown up they look, though!  It happened so fast!

 We all met up for dinner beforehand at a little pizza restaurant in downtown Tulsa before hitting up the concert at the BOK.

 Avery with her lifelong friends, MaryKate Vaclaw, Izzy Vaclaw, Brigette Bulleigh and Julianna Ahlert.

 We had seats up in the suite but after a while Avery decided to go down and stand on the floor with her friends.  I was grateful to have a seat!  So I've only been to country concerts and I compared Blake Shelton to being at a rock concert which is still true, but I couldn't believe that Imagine Dragons was even louder than the Blake concert!  It was really awesome and I would totally go again!  I'm glad this was Avery's first concert, it will be one she will remember forever!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!!  This was how we started off our morning.  Some cinnamon rolls, a few kiwi, and even a little chocolate.  It's Valentine's day, we can get away with it!  These flowers actually aren't for me though!  Jordan was so sweet and called me up to get flowers for both my mom and Sara.  

 This is what I spent doing the whole day before Valentine's Day!  Both Austin and Addie wanted to hand out mustaches.  Ashton did the chocolate hugs and kisses!

 Avery leaves for school so much earlier than the other kids, I didn't get a chance to take a picture of them together!  I had to pick her up for a dental appointment so I grabbed a quick pic of her before I took her back to school.  She's so beautiful!  I love the red jeans today!

I signed up to help with Austin's class for the Valentine party.  Here he is decorating his cookie.  

I snuck down to see Ashton at her party, I love that she's still so excited to see me!

 I finally found Addie already at lunch in the cafeteria!  She took her lunch today and had a special Valentine's treat in her bag.

 When I got home I had flowers from my Valentine who has always been so good to me and who I love with all my heart!  Hope everyone felt loved and special today!
