We Heart Sports

Not that this is shocking news, but our family loves sports! Here's a few sports updates to kick off the new year.

Jacob started his 'Upward Sports' basketball league. It's hard not to brag, but he scored 16 points at his first game! Lookout Amare Stoudemire.


This was a once-in-a-lifetime day, but here we are enjoying the BCS Championship Game in Glendale, AZ. Goooo Ducks! It was a heart-breaking loss, but we still had the time of our lives. Here's the crew that got to go.





So, is bathtime a sport? Maybe not, but we thought the three cousins looked super cute taking a bath together recently :) This photo will only surface again at graduations and weddings. We promise.

Back To School

Everyone is back to school and work after a WONDERFUL holiday vacation. We'll have to post more updates and pics about Christmas and Las Vegas!

It was tough heading back to a normal schedule after winter break. Are we really getting up in the pitch black to drive to school and classrooms? Do we have to pick up toys, clean bathrooms and do homework again? Oh well. These are the things in life that make vacation time so wonderful - because we take a break from the ordinary!

However, one of our goals in the New Year is to find JOY in the ordinary. Praise God for each and every moment! The little things are what life is about anyway. So, speaking of the little, mundane things, here's something that brought joy today:

Jacob completed his homework for the day and tried really hard. Here's a cute photo of his assignment. :)
