The Cowboy Rides Away

Dano and I have had ticket to George for some time. Super excited for this show as it is his last one. Martina McBride opened for him They were both great. Mom was supposed to go with us but she was not feeling well. Patti came with us and don't ask me why but I didn't even get a picture of all of us. Silly Me! Thanks for a great night girls!

 

 

My favorite George Strait song, ever!

I have danced with many a cute cowboys to this song...

Sorry honey : )

Another fabulous night with my girls!

Blue Lion Basketball - Crazy Hair Day!

OK, I won't do this every week but you all have to see it once. Good thing my batteries died last week because I cried during the entire thing : )

 A little bit of pre-game practice.

A little high light real...

Today is week 2 of Blue Lion Basketball! Also know as Crazy Hair Day! We hooked up TJ by grouping together his twists. I was going to wear my blue and orange wig but didn't as Sissy has a game right after TJ and I did not want to embarrass her.

It was great to see the McFadden's. Life has got in the way of seeing each other much. Amazing how big little miss Hannah has gotten. She was being a bit camera shy : )

TJ was a little out of focus this week. He did make another shot though and got a nice high five from the coach!At the end of the game TJ took a ball in the mouth and got a bit of a fat lip. He did really good at not crying until the game was over. Then the tears were on. Another great week! Way to go Blue Lions!

 

 

Great job Blue Lions!

After Tristan's game we had to head out to make Hanna's District game. They were playing Eagle at Centennial. Borah was not able to pull this one out. We were only able to see Hanna in the final 11 seconds so not many pictures. Tough loss Lions. 

Borah vs Rocky Mountain

 We do not make it to nearly enough of Hanna's games but tonight we made it a family affair. Lisa, Patti, Garrett, TJ, Tex, and I all went down to see if Hanna and her team could pull off an upset, but tonight it was not meant to be. After nearly regaining a 20 point deficit, Borah lost by 6 points. One great game thought!

 

Auntie Patti falling asleep after the red eye... night, night.

Stuck 3 point attempt.

 That is our girl... nice tackle: )

 

Upwards Basketball

Today was Tristan first organized sporting event.  We registered him in Upwards Basketball. Many years ago I went to watch Hannah and Blake McFadden play here and I was so impressed that I new someday my kids would play here. Well today was that day.

They start the game with individual introductions... yes, at 5 years old. Bad news was, I showed up with a camera that had dead batteries. I will video that in weeks to come. Good news was, Tex brought his IPAD so we got these pictures.

Scott was at the game~ so good to see him!

Tristan's very first shot! And yes, he made it!

Afterwords... during the game, I might add, Tristan runs over to us and says, "I made it Mommy, did you see" I could not be more proud!

OK, this is super funny. Each child plays 3 periods, so they actually sit for three as well. Take a look at the left side of the bench...

He's got Skills...

Girls day with my sissy!

Today was a sisters day. Lisa and I had an appointment at the bank, then we went to lunch at Willow Creek Grill in Eagle, then we headed for Lisa's Cut and Color. I was lucky enough to get a pedi while she was getting primped :)

Before...

After... love the new color and the cut! 

Super cute sissy!

Thanks for a great day!

Awesome new sledding spot!

Tristan has been all about playing in the snow since we got back from the islands. Snowmen, snowball fights and today... sledding. After the recent accident at Simplot hill I did not want to go by a large group of people. I was trying to think about where we could go so after church we drove by our new park and it was perfect! There was a few families but not too terrible. Tex was in charge of pictures, I was hanging at the bottom of the hill and TJ was on the sled. 

First trip down the tree Tristan nailed the tree, and I mean nailed it! OMG it was so funny!

Garrett showed up to join in the fun!

Of coarse I had to get in on it! It was a blast!

Tree number 2...

I'm good!

Love these shadow shots of the boys!

And yes, we topped it off with some hot chocolate!

Cheers to another fabulous day!

Last day in paradise

It was amazing to stay down on the water and see the sun rise over the mountain.

 

I love this picture of the boys out enjoying the surf. I caught it after we enjoyed a nice breakfast at Bongo Ben's.

What a way to wrap up a fabulous trip.
