Pre-K

So hard to believe these little buggers will be going to kindergarten next year, or tindergarten according to Sophia!

Hoop, there it is!

We have loved having Cole and Xander on the same basketball team this year, GO PISTONS, 3-0 thus far.

Xander and Cole both showing off their wrist flip or L to S


My favorite picture of all Cole/ Colleen (before haircut) fathead on Roe's body, get yourself your own fathead to cheer your kid on at walgreens for 15.00, i think?

Little Dribblers

Finally got the urine checked on the bigger dribbler today, which of course checked out fine, he has bladder spasms which cause him to potty 14x in a row, followed by dribbling, followed by underwear changing, followed by hand washing, and I wonder why is hands are cracked and bloody.
(and Jess the onesie outfits are fine if they button/unbuttoned down the legs right?)

Bliss is...

misplacing your wedding ring for 20 hours, sleeping restlessly waking every hour to check in a different spot it could be,
letting your 4 year old play the wii all day (he did go to preschool too) so you could check every crevice of your house, calling pawn shops, garbage disposal, trash, etc and
FINDING IT!!! in your jeans pocket, that you don't remember putting it in, that went to arkansas and back, down the laundry shoot, through the washing machine and hung up to dry, thank you LORD that it stayed tucked in my pocket that I don't remember putting it in.

Fun in Fayetteville

After signing up for the Aspire meet in Arkansas, I wasn't super excited dreading the car ride with our little dudes. It turned out to be a pretty easy drive and a super fun place, thanks to our awesome coaches that give us these great opportunities for our kids.
We got to go watch the college girls compete who are ranked 3rd in the nation on Friday night, AMAZING gymnasts scoring 9.8's, these girls watched so intently.
little good luck charm
Poor Jude, what a sport traveling 10 hours in the car and sitting through 4 hours of gymnastics, think the 2 hour swimming at the hotel was worth it.
My husband wore his K State gear the ENTIRE time we were there, sensed some animosity toward the hogs and the football recruits at our hotel.Ok check out lady in RED, wish I had my zoom lens. This was the gymnastics coach for Arkansas, she wore a little red dress with 6in heels and amazing biceps, must be all that spotting and mat moving. Even her hair was died Arkansas red!

Some super tough judging, but super proud of our girl placing 3rd all around, 3rd on bars, 3rd on vault, 3rd on floor and 5th on beam competing against girls from Arkansas, Oklahoma & Missouri.
Trav had to sneak pics at the Razorback stadium.

Not your average JOE

We did a regifting with my family at Christmas and my parents stole some of Jimmys (my bro n law aka Penn state guy) treasures and pretended like he was giving them away to them.

#1 Fan

Roe has been asking for Grayson to come to a gymnastics meet since she has been competing.Grayson made her the cutest poster with #1 on it (per Roe's request)

Not sure if Monroe was more excited about the meet or Grayson coming to watch her. Poor Grayson had to be bored out of her mind, but you would never know sitting through 3 hours of warm ups, competition and awards to watch her friend, what a little gem!
Whats wrong with this picture? All are smiling expect for mine, wasn't liking the Colorado and Oklahoma girls ahead of her on the podium.
Monroe and her fellow level 5 friends, they are such a great group of girls, fun to watch.
