It's Wednesday! I have exactly one hour on Wednesday nights when the boys attend church youth group and Amaya is in bed. It's my time that I'm going to devote to the family blog!


We enjoyed our first weekend in a LONG time of staying at home and relaxing! It's definitely not near as much fun to watch other fan's football teams...but we spent a lot of time watching them.


Saturday morning was the boys' first basketball practice. Kevin is coaching their team this year and said that, "It was the equivalence of coaching Freshman girls basketball." Their first game is on Saturday and they are pumped! We'll see if Andrew can hit the basket this year...


I was able to be the Mystery Reader in Alex's Kindergarten class today. What a treat! I read If You Take a Mouse to School. It was priceless to see his face when he was able to uncover his eyes and see that it was me. He was "Friend of the Week" in his class...which meant lots of fun activities we were able to prepare over the weekend - interviews, a poster, scrapbook of memories, and show-n-tell. Kevin is planning to have lunch with him tomorrow. His teacher is so creative and does a wonderful job of making each student feel so important!

Santa Claus brought us a Wii this Christmas...so you can guess where we spend the majority of our evenings. This week the craze has been bowling tournaments. If only we could bowl 203s on a real lane!

We're in that pre-potty training mode with Amaya...you know, when you think of it once or twice a day and have her sit on the potty. Every once in a while we have success...but more often than not we're just practicing. Crazy to think that in a few months our house could be diaper free!

We are having a great time gearing up for the big game on Saturday. We'll be making cookies on Saturday morning to take to other equally excited Colt's fans and then getting together for pre-game fun with friends!
