ASU Basketball

 After our basketball games Saturday, Jeremy and I took the boys to the ASU/Stanford basketball game with the MYB basketball league.  We loved that the Giles and Morin families were there with us.  

 As part of the evening, we were able to tour the ASU Hall Of Fame.  It was fun to see all the different statistics about ASU.  Did you know that ASU is super good in archery?  They have tons and tons of 1st place trophies in archery.  Jeremy and I are thinking maybe we should sign Brody up for archery;).  My boys loved the area that had the football helmets on the wall to represent every team in the NFL and which ASU players have played there.  It was super cool. 

 The highlight of the night was when the boys got to run through Tillman Tunnel just like the football players do at each home game.  I have to admit....I kinda liked it too!

 This picture was taken coming back into the locker room.  

 Of course there was the actual basketball game that we got to watch.  Although ASU lost in the last seconds, we had fun cheering them on.

When the boys looked up and saw Jackson on the jumbo tron....they spent the rest of their night trying to get on too.

Playing Against Giants

 Today was another fun filled day of basketball games.  The day started off at 8:00 with Ledger's game at Highland, and Brody's game at Stapley.  I attended Ledger's game while Jeremy went to Brody's.  I have to say....Ledger is actually starting to get how this game works.  He is understanding what he needs to do when his team has the ball and what he needs to do when his team doesn't have the ball. (I think we call this offense and defense:)) He is actually yelling, "PASS!" to his team mates when he sees that he is clearly open and they aren't. And he is all over his man when he is on defense.  I think he's been watching Case because he has some fancy footwork like his big brother.  

 So grateful that there is no stealing at this stage of the game.  It takes every ounce of concentration Ledger has just to dribble the ball.  These games are hilarious!

Jeremy headed over to Brody's game this morning while I was with Ledger.  Brody is doing so much better this year with basketball.  Although he is still pretty small  compared to most of his opponents, he hustles and is having fun.  Love this picture of Brody (number 11) trying to shoot the ball against these powerhouses!

 These boys are good at this stage of the game.  I am proud of Brody for wanting to play this year.  He has learned tons and really has fun.  

 Poor guy is even small next to his own team mates.

 Can you just see the amount of energy it takes this kid to get the ball up? Hopefully he will catch up to these tall dudes one day!

 To end our day of basketball, we headed to Field to watch Case.  This kid is fun to watch.  He loves the game and it is obvious.  

 Here you can see a little double team on Case.  

 Case is a good shooter but he loves to take half court shots.  We are working on getting him to get closer to the hoop before he takes his shot.

 Case is starting to get the idea of getting the rebound.  He may be short, but he is quick!

Even sitting on the bench with your team mates can be fun!  This is a cute group of boys.  Love this team and the coach!

Brody's Cabin Party Day 2

 Sunday morning the boys were up bright and early again ready to go shooting.  Jeremy and Jim took the boys to Porter Mountain for a morning of pistol and rifle shooting.

 Ledger shot 2 cans today. 

 Case was having trouble using his right eye to look through the scope.

 Wyatt showing the boys how he shoots.  I love how the other boys are plugging their ears in this picture.  Apparently there were some other guys who were shooting a cannon right next tot hem.

 Brody is actually a really good shooter.  He has good aim and can hit the target.

Mason showing the boys how he shoots.

The rest of Sunday was spent playing in the snow and watching the Super Bowl.  These boys are going to be exhausted when I take them home tomorrow.

Celebrating turning 10

 Saturday night at the cabin we celebrated Brody's birthday.  We started with a treasure hunt and then moved to a glow stick dance party.  

 After the glow stick dance party, we let the kids pop 144 balloons that we blew up with the air compressor.  They were in heaven!

 To end the night we made root beer floats and sang to the birthday boy.  In case your wondering, the mustaches were one of the treasure hunt party favors.  Case thought it was fun to try and drink with it on.

These crazy boys had a blast today!

Happy Birthday Brody!  

Brody's Cabin Party Day 1

 Friday afternoon, we headed up to the cabin to celebrate Brody's 10th birthday.  Brody invited Mason Allen and Wyatt Deaton.  He also invited Jackson but he was unable to come.  He was so excited for this weekend that he could hardly stand it.

 We arrived Friday night in time to make mexican food and play for an hour or so.  Saturday morning the boys were up bright and early wanting to go sledding.  We headed to the hill by the cabin but it just wasn't packed down enough to sled so we headed over to White Mountain.  Although there isn't very much snow this year, the boys had fun playing outside.

 Brody and Wyatt flying down the hill.

 Miss B. loved sledding this year.

 Mason is just crazy on the sled.

 Wyatt sledding on his stomach.

 Brody is a pretty cautious kid so it was kinda funny when he flew off this jump and landed on his rear. Can you see the fear in his face as he is mid air? Why do I think things like this are funny?

 And yes he was in serious pain when he landed.

 Ledger just hung with the boys all day until his feet froze and he sat in the car until everyone was done.  

 Case is just a crazy man on the sled.  He is not my cautious kid.

 Mason in the middle of a wipe out.

 This girl has no fear and doesn't get cold.  She was in heaven!

 Wyatt and Case loved going on the jumps.

And so did Miss Fearless.
