Basketball boy!!!

Zach has been playing basketball since January, and wrestling since February. He is doing really well at both, but prefers wrestling over basketball. I am proud of him for trying his best and sticking with it! Good job, Zach!!!

The wrestling video is the end of a match that he won. The videos of him doing more maneuvers on the other kid were too big to put on here, so I will try to get them shrunk down and post it. Anyway - I just thought his face was cute when he got to run over to get his award.

The wrestling is put on by the high school wrestling team. The high school boys teach the kids all the moves and at the end of the clinics, they get to do a little tournament. It is a lot of fun and there are tons of boys that do it. Chris loves watching Zach and then practicing with him when they get home. (yes, Chris used to wrestle) I just think it looks like a bunch of boys rough-housing! That's ok - at least he is having fun!

Anything up there?....

Chloe seems to like to do this quite often these days.....

What a fun weekend!!

Let me just start out by saying that a weekend getaway for mom's are an absolute must!!! Believe it or not, I have never gotten away on a "girlfriend" trip and was long overdue for one! Chris has never had all the kids (all 2 of them!) by himself for an overnight and weekend! We decided to be brave and just do it! I am grateful for my husband being so supportive and letting me have a break and doing such a wonderful job with the kids. I wouldn't think he would do anything otherwise b/c he is the absolute best dad - but I am a mom and I worry about my kids! That is part of my job description!!

My wonderful friend, Megan, flew out from CO on Thursday! We haven't seen each other since last summer when our family went back to CO for our family vacation. We attended Time Out for Women, put on my Deseret Book. I am so grateful for all the speakers that were there and for the messages they shared! I really needed that spiritual boost! And definetely so thankful that Megan decided to leave her cute boys and come all the way out here to good old Indiana!

Megan and me with Hilary Weeks, one of my favorite LDS singer/songwriters! (Note: Yes, I know I look pregnant - but I am not!)
We met up with my neighbor, Carrie and her "Chicago friends" for dinner at Red Light. I think it is Thai food - but not sure. We even had to flag down a cab to get to the restaruant! It is a big deal to me b/c I have never done that!!! Luckily, Megan was the brave one!

AND.... We got to go see WICKED!!! So much fun!! It is an awesome play!

I have a blog...finally!!!

I decided that I would finally start a blog to keep track of fun things my family and I do, and also as a place to keep in touch with friends and family. Hopefully I can completely figure this thing out so that I will use it often. Make sure to send me a message if you visit!!
