Dribble it... Pass it... We want a basket!

This year the boys were able to play basketball on the U.S. Air Force Military Base. They were a little rusty at first but after a few practices and games they picked it up very quickly. Bryce has scored a few baskets at each game and does great at defense by stealing the ball and blocking. Tyler is having a great time with it too, although he is more into putting on his mean face, skipping down the court with a little run in between, and stealing the ball every chance he gets. In all they are having a blast and looking forward to playing baseball next!

He goes for it and.......He scores!!


Tyler is more interested in what the cheerleaders are doing!
I'm ready....Bring it on!!!
Putting a little skip into it!

Valentines Party

Last Saturday we had a Valentine's Party with a lot of the other Americans here and a wonderful English couple. My good friend Becki helped host the party. We spent many hours planning games, picking out decorations, and making delicious food to eat. Becki also spent a lot of time putting special touches to the champaign glasses, creating a playlist of love songs, and freezing a ton of ice cubes with limes and mint inside of them for our mojito punch. A couple of the games we played were do you know that love song, which couple could blow and pop 10 balloons the quickest, an apple balancing game, and the newlywed game. All I can say is that we had a blast and I think everyone who attended had a good time too. Kent (Becki's husband) and Steve did a great job organizing some of the games as well and they were also good sports for doing pretty much anything Becki and I asked them to do. We truly have some great guys!!

Everyone who attended brought a dish to share so needless to say we had so much food but it was all so good!! We also had everyone vote on who they felt was the best dressed couple since we had a dress code for the party. Everyone must wear either red, white, or pink. The couple who won received a chocolate bottle of champaign. We had such a great time planning this party and also had a wonderful time with everyone who attended. I think it was a big hit!!

Yummy giant cup cakes we made!
