The Party - The Flu - Basketball - The Perfect Picture

Ok, going in order of the title...The Party

Brayden and Natalie's B-day party was at the Little Gym. It was a scaled down gy to meet the needs of the little guys...though only a few little guys got to come. And my little guy almost didn't get to go due to the Flu. They had a great time and it was so great to see everyone! Here are some pictures that Lindsey was so kind to take for for me (since I pulled the bone head move of the year and left the camera and video camera at home!).









Thank you to those who were able to make it. We love having you all!

The Flu...

The flu entered our home thru the most unlikely host...Matthew. He honestly just never gets sick. I've said it a jillion times, he's my rock! But my rock got hit hard with the flu at 4am Wed. before last. Plus the poor guy got a sinus infection. we got him all better with this wonderful medicine for the Flu called Tamiflu. That stuff rocks!! And little did I know that I was going to be getting a prescription filled for the other 2 kiddos within the days to come. So next year...yes, we'll get the flu shot!! All is well now and everyone's healthy again...woo hoo :)

Basketball...

Matt had 2 game back to back last Saturday and he really shined! He made 3 baskets in one game and hustled big time in both games. The first game was kinda a blow out, but the second one was a nail biter. There was bad calls by the refs, fighting amongst the teams, swapping turns ever basket with who'd be in the lead. But at the end of the game the other team won and that gave us our first (possibly our only) loss of the season. Matt and all the boys did great! As for b-ball pictures...look for those next week.

The perfect picture...

As I've mumbled and grumbled in the past...I just can not get a good picture of Brayden. He is just not a ham for the camera like the other kids were (are :)). So it was a total shocker to me that when I went to grab my camera to take pictures of the kids outside playing....that I was about to get my perfect picture that I've been wanting for so long!!!

Nat had a sleepover last Friday and these are her friends Shelby and Summer. They were having "archery practice".


Matt was doing his scooter tricks and really needed me to take some pictures of how awesome he is :)


He's pretty awesome alright!!!



Brayden tackled Matt and I had no clue that this was gonna be such a GREAT picture. This one will be going on the wall!


Here's Matt at what he does better...clowning!


He called the electric scooter his Harley. Both he and Nat love to ride them this way. I think it makes them look like little apes :)


And here it is...my perfect Brayden picture...it's already on the mantle :)


...and here's what I typically get when I take pictures of him....


It's bad...BAD I tell ya :)


Hope you all have a great Valentines Day!

OH no!! I hate hearing that you guys had the flu bug also!! My goodness, it's a mean one!! The tamaflu is wonderful though! I was so happy when the docotor just gave everyone in my family a prescription when I was in with my flu. So far everyone is staying healthy while I recover.

Looks like the party was fun!

The pictures you got of those two boys are PRICELESS!! oh my goodness! Perfect shot mom! Doens't it just warm you heart when you look on your camera and find such great pictures!

I hope you all have a healthy weekend!
