Couldn't resist...

I couldn't resist taking a this picture of Jack and Karim the other day.  We showed up to Jack's tennis lesson and he and Karim were dressed identical, down to the blue shoes.  Pretty funny!

Gus goes to the vet

Oh man, wrangling Gus AND Maddie (the child that wants to take care of Gus and meet every dog in the waiting room) at the vet was a huge task.  Gus got lots of shots and looked healthy, other than an ear infection.  Never even crossed my mind that dogs could get ear infections.....but we came home with some eardrops for Mr. Gus.
Maddie loved having him in the car, he's a much different car rider than Annie.  Annie prefers shotgun and Gus prefers the back seat.  Now he wants to go in the car EVERY time we leave the house!!!  After the vet he got to go with us to school to pick up the big kids.  He got out of the car a greeted all the kids coming out of school.  He thought that was great fun and wants to go in the car ALL the time now!!!  The second picture was Gus jumping back in the car later that day when he saw the passenger side door open, he was ready to go again!

Peyton's (and Mike's) last CYC game

Mike coached Peyton's CYC basketball team this year, and the two of them did MUCH better together than I thought!  I also wasn't quite sure Mike was cut out for CYC coaching.  And what I mean by that is: everyone gets equal playing time, winning is not the priority....everyone having fun is, etc......But, he pulled it off nicely and was well complimented by his parents.

It was a fun little season for these St. Peter 4th grade girls.....

Maddie's First Goal!!!

Maddie scored her first soccer goal in her game on President's Day.  They had a game in the middle of the day, so Mike didn't get to go, as he was at work.  He told her if she scored a goal he'd have some ice-cream for her.  She pulled her weight and so did he.....

THE KNIGHTS

The Knights season is coming to an end....and what a season it has been!!  With a new coach (Renee) an some new teammates, this year has been super refreshing.  Peyton has had a blast with her new teammates and her new coach.  She has told Mike and I both that she wants to quit other sports and just start playing a TON of basketball.  We will see if the opinion changes as we start switching seasons into other sports.

They will continue to play spring ball as well and they are planning on making an appearance at the Show-Me-Games in July as well......these girls have tons of fun together and they are incredibly fun to watch on the court too.  They've come a long way in just one season together and it's gonna be fun to watch them grow together.

On the night of their last regular season game we had the team and their families over for pizza.  The girls (and adults) had a great time playing and hanging out with each other off the court.

A CYC loss against summertime friends

Peyton's CYC team only lost one game this season and it was to two of Peyton's summertime friends.  She sees these girls daily in the summer and plays tennis, golf, and swim team with them.  They pounded around on each other on the court and then smiled pretty together after the game.  COME ON SUMMER TIME!!!!

Addison actually plays on the Knights with Peyton this year too, so she's been getting to spend lots of time with her this winter, and I don't think she'd complain about that!!

A Day Off School

A half day of school and the temperatures were in the upper 70's....that calls for some Chick-fil-e on the deck!!!  We could really start getting use to this weather!!!!
