Nothing Much Happenin' Here....

Well- I thought that spring was finally here but then it snowed- go figure! We haven't been doing anything too exciting lately. I feel like we do the same stuff just on different days! I got this email that I really liked so I thought I would post it:

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood.
The next morning while they are eating breakfast,
the young woman sees her neighbor hanging the washing outside.
"That laundry is not very clean", she said."She doesn't know how to wash correctly.
Perhaps she needs better laundry soap."Her husband looked on, but remained silent.
Every time her neighbor would hang her washing to dry,the young woman would make the same comments.About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean washing on the line and said to her husband:"Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this."The husband said, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."

And so it is with life. What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.

I truly have been trying to be less judgemental about others lately. I know that I am FAR from perfect and I need to be more understanding of others and their imperfections also. I know I have a long way to go.... but I'm trying! And maybe this world would be a much happier place if we all loved one another and forget about everyone else's imperfections!

SpRiNg FoRwArD!

Spring Forward....

Kids... sleeping... messed up schedules.....

Need I say more????

Basketball...Basketball...Basketball....

I mentioned in an earlier post about how busy we've been... well, we weren't just busy with birthdays. We've been swamped with basketball! Each boy had a game a week and a practice a week; which made for 4 days a week of basketball. I must say that it kept me super busy with all of the other things that we have going on in our lives but I truly enjoyed watching the boys grown and learn this season.
Tegen has always been a bit timid and not very aggressive and when it comes to sports it's been no exception. Well, this season he finally decided to get a little bit more active and it was exciting to watch him guard those boys that are at least a head taller than him and shoot for those baskets.

So cute!!!

As you can see- Tegen doesn't really have the height advantage in basketball. At first I kept thinking that it's not fair that he has to guard boys that are so huge compared to him. After a while we decided that he will probably never be the super tall kid so he has to learn to do his best with what he's got. And he definitely did! He played his little heart out and I'm so proud of him!

Look at that little face. Everyone always comments on Tray's smile. No matter what he always has a huge grin on his face. During every game he just smiled away.

Going in for the shot. OOPS! Too bad I missed the actual ball going in the hoop. I really need some good photography skills.

Traysen was an absolute blast to watch play this season. It was literally like watching a light bulb come on inside his head. One game he was just okay and the next game he just exploded out there on the court. He tried to get every rebound, make every shot and guard his guy no matter what. It was so awesome to watch!

I know that I've said this before- this is just the beginning of my life... sports and more sports! I'm sure that I'll be doing a lot of this over the next few years, but I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. I guess I'm like the nerdy soccer mom out there cheering for my kids, but watching them light up each time they play makes all that driving around to different practices and games totally worth it. Now we get a break for a month and begin arena football in April. Hey- at least it's indoors so I won't be out there freezing :)
