Winter Basketball 2016

 Mason's Team
 
Gavin' Team
Coach Craig Palmer
 Gavin Fry, ?, Jaxon Schow, Max Anderson
Milo Lukasik, Jace Virgin, Wesley Collins, Kaden Palmer
 
Gavin is in his 4th year of basketball and this year he gets to play full court, shoot foul shots and all things grown up. He was pretty timid when he first got out there playing but then he made 2 shots in a row, "That's my boy!", and then he was back into his groove.  
Mason's 1st season!

Mason has never played basketball today except for a few times in the driveway, but he really wanted to play basketball like Gavin so we signed him up. He was also super excited to have his own pair of basketball shoes. On the way home he wanted to take them out of the box so he could just hold them and look at them. He told me that his new shoes make him run super fast!
 
His coach was really good with him and taught him how to hold the ball and shoot the basket. Gavin was right there helping and coaching him along too, it was too cute.  
He looks tiny out there
 
 He started doing this in line and all the other kids started copying him
 
 He's "firsty"
 
 He does pretty good at dribbling even though he's never played basketball before
 
The boys both ended up with the same color shirts this year. Mason loves it because people think that he's on Gavin's team so he gets extra treats at the end of brothers game.
 
 Mason's turn to sit out
 
 
 Mason motioned for Chloe to come warm up with him. He put her in front and gave her his basketball. The coach treated her like a team member, it was pretty cute to watch. Mason was so proud to include his sister. 
 
 Gavin loves his long bright socks he picked out and every game someone else on his team has a pair. Kids are so funny. 
 
 Mason's favorite part of the game, TREATS!!
 
 
 
 Mason decided he didn't want to play in the middle of his game so he just stood there in the middle of the court with his arms folded and didn't budge. What a stinker!!
 Chloe cheering for her brother's even though she was wearing the opposing teams colors

First Lost Tooth


 
Mason lost his first tooth! 
He pulled it out in the sitter's van after school. I think she was a little traumatized! When I got there to pick them up Mason was giggling and hiding from me. Gavin brought me a plastic egg and told me to open it. When I did, there was Mason's tooth. He was so giggly excited and it made me giddy too. He looks absolutely adorable with his tooth missing!

Gavin's 9th Birthday

My Mister turned 9 years old!
He saw these roller blades a few weeks ago at Target and has wanted them since. I couldn't talk him into going anywhere else to look at any other roller blades, it had to be these. We found his size of blades, picked him out a helmet and he was set!
Daddy called to wish him a Happy Birthday from Boise :)
We went to Blastoff with some of our other friends to play all afternoon
Then (yes, shopping, Blastoff and then..) Heise!!
We went with Papa Moose, Grandma Bonnie, Addy and Brecken
We were about an hour into it when a huge hail storm hit. It was so much fun and so awesome!! The kids loved it and so did I. The water kept us warm while our heads were covered in white.
 Loving it!
The kids were scooping up handfuls of the hail and then watching it melt as they put it in the pool. 

Gavin my skull loving little man wanted a skull cake for his birthday.
 
When his daddy got home from Boise we celebrated with cake and ice cream

 Happy Birthday Gavin!!
