Little Hoopsters 2010

Miles loves basketball! He especially likes when they get to scrimmage! He is a very good shot and he is definitely getting better about getting in there and fighting for the ball.

Great Job Miles!!

Here is a sample of 1st and 2nd graders playing bball:

Thanksgiving with Grandpa and Grandma Hansen

What a treat! We had my dad and stepmom here for Thanksgiving and the week after. Allen had a crazy concert schedule and they stuck around to help out! The boys love all the attention they get from Grandpa and Grandma Hansen.

You guys are more than welcome to stay that long anytime!

Grandma was so good to help Quincy with his fort and draw "paintings" for inside. She got lessons in drawing lego Batman and Star Wars. Poor soul! This is the first time Quincy has cried when they've left! Thanks Grandma for making him feel so loved!

Porter got "doctored" up by Grandpa with his pretend owies!

Miles "won"!!

Here is Grandpa trying out the karate moves!

I think Grandpa and Grandma were worn out by the end. We loved having you here! Dad, if only we didn't experience the "Wendy's" trip....haha!

Love you guys! Thanks so much for all of your help!

Miles in Heaven...

well not really, but close for him.

Dad and Miles went to a Jazz game and Miles LOVED it. We watch most games on TV but have never been to an actual game. Thanks to a neighbor we scored 2 tickets so off the boys went.

Go Jazz!!!!

Quincy turns 5!

I can't believe my Quincy is 5 years old! He was such a big boy to wait all day to open his presents. Look at that smile...

Mental note: never leave the cake on the counter....

Porter got into it, but I caught it pretty early, so we just told Quincy that Batman was in a hurry to catch the bad guys and skidded through the cake....gulp! He knew Porter messed it up but ended up taking it pretty well...

Pirate island....once again!

Yummy pirate pizza!

Quincy loves Preschool and playing with friends and his older brother Miles. He is even tolerating his younger brother sometimes too. He is our Karate Kid and has informed us that we cannot call him Kiki anymore....a hard habit to break. He wants to be called Karate Kid. He practices his kicks and splits every day. He is a crack up. He is big into working on a fort in the house, which consists of cardboard boxes, etc...He is very very persistent...which we hope will be a strength for him later on....:)

We love you Quincy...I mean Karate kid!

Tomatoes in Nov??

I've never picked green tomatoes before. I kept them in my pantry for a couple of weeks and look at that....

Finally finishing up the season of fresh salsa and loved having the extra month!!!

Fall Leaves

Took the boys to feed the ducks and the leaves were so gorgeous!

Here is Miles, humoring mom with her picture taking :)

Quincy throwing those pretty leaves!!

To be a kid again....look how carefree!!!

bye bye Fall.

Halloween 2010

Here is my video gaming Luigi, Karate Kid, and Batman!

Can you believe this is my only Halloween shot this year?? Yeah, it was a little crazy!

The boys got caught in hail and had to return home for 45 minutes until the weather was bearable...and costumes could be dried in the dryer.

Happy Halloween!!!
