Basketball

Kaden just finished with his basketball season. This was his first time playing and he did ok. He didn't seem to enjoy it as much as he does some other sports - but it was pretty fun anyway.

Some of the Nuggets

Dressed and ready for the game

Sorry - kinda blurry

End of season party at Native

Kaden and his good buddy Micah - Kaden insisted on wearing his jersey to the party:)

It was a fun for Kaden to learn a little about basketball - but I am so glad to have the season be over! I was sick of dragging all three kids to 2 practices and 1 game every week! Plus our coach was . . . how should I say it. . . a little intense for these kids. But we made it and we are glad to be done!

So True!

I got this quote in an email . . . just thought I would share:

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

Random Updates

I know, I know . . . these kind of posts are boring. But I need it on here since this is my one and only journal. You can stop reading now, really my feelings wont be hurt!

Last week, Lexie took advantage that I was distracted on the computer and the older kids were both in bed. When I finally realized she had been quite for far too long - this is what I found. She had pulled the diaper bag down and emptied it. She found some suckers, chewed thru the wrappers, and was introduced to the deliciousness of candy!! She was very proud of herself as you can see.

Kaden and his best bud, Mason - visiting from Utah.

Just some random projects - I finally finished some painting and got some vinyl put up.

Curtains in the dining room.

Lex took her first steps on Feb 5th - 11 months old.

Bailey loves to help feed Lexie - she is surprisingly good at it. As you can see, she also helps herself to some of the food.

Kaden turned our zorro mask into a sleeping mask and insists he can't sleep without it! And I was worried about my girls being high maintainance!
