A Lengthy Update

Click on the Individual Pics to see LOTS more!!!

So apparently someone has an issue (Kerry) with the fact that I have three small children, am back in school getting my Master's, spend two to three days each week at either preschool or kindergarten, have boys in sports two days/week, have a husband that has been at work by 5:30am and not returning until 8:30pm twice/week and have a house and family to upkeep and simply have not had the time to update my blog in the last 20 days!!! I do apologize so this will be a lengthy post since we have been SOOOOO stinkin busy for the last 20 days!!! (On a side note...right click the different pictures and click on "Open Link In New Tab" so you can easily return to my site to get to the next set of pics!!!)

We had a super fun time going bowling with the kids a few weeks ago:) Brian and Matt filled their charts for good behavior (FINALLY) and since it was raining we decided bowling was a good activity. All of them, including Luke, bowled an entire game and LOVED it! They had so much fun and all had a really great time watching Mommy try to bowl left-handed due to my shoulder. My total score bowling lefty was 38 so I gave them plenty to laugh about!!!

Brian's school had a fundraiser at the Roller Rink and we met Craig after work for some good old fashioned fun! Luke blew us away with his skills and put his brothers to shame!!! It was a total repeat of Ice Skating but he was even better:) We may have found Luke's calling!!!! He was by far the youngest and smallest one out on the rink...to see a two year old (the size of an 18 month old) on rollerblades going around completely on his own was awesome!!!

Basketball has been the reason our Saturday's no longer exist! Brian and Matt play on the same team named The Bulls this year and LOVE it!!! They are doing really well and having sooooo much fun! Daddy is their coach so I get to spend my time trying to keep Luke entertained on the bleachers:) They can both now regularly make baskets and their favorite thing to do is grab the rebounds! The pictures are from two different games...

Another activity the boys LOVE to do is go to the Lowe's workshops on Saturday mornings. These are totally FREE for the kids and they get to build something with real tools. The kids get aprons, goggles and a patch of completion every time they attend. This was Luke's first time getting to go. He really enjoyed playing with the hammer and tried his best to hit everything except for the wooden box he was making!!!

We're nearing the end...bear with me!!! The final and BIGGEST thing we have done in the last 20 days is have dinner with and watch The Globetrotters!!! Aunt Kel and Uncle Chris got us our tickets as a Christmas gift so we sent Luke to hang out with Gaga and Papa and Craig and I took the big boys off for an amazing evening!! We got to the UT basketball stadium at 5:00 and had dinner right off of the court. The menu was totally catered to kids...chicken tenders, pizza and tater tots:) During dinner the Globetrotters came in and talked to everyone. They signed autographs for everyone and then took pictures with everyone! It was so amazing to be one of the 100 people that were able to get to go to this once in a lifetime event and we had so much fun!!!! After dinner, we headed off to the game. We had great seats in the lower level and laughed the entire time! After the game, we headed down to the court to get the autographs of the players that didn't come into the dinner as well as Globie, the team mascot! Thanks Aunt Kel and Uncle Chris for an amazing night...we'd like a repeat next year!!!

So as you can see, I haven't been sitting around watching TV for the past three weeks!!! Hopefully this satisfies those of you who feel the need to complain:)
