basketball

This year Brooklin is trying basketball for the first time. She told me she wanted to play basketball like her uncle Kasey!!! It's been fun watching her play - we need to work on a little aggressiveness but the skills will come. I'm so happy she is doing her best and having fun too!

brooklin loves passing the ball in - it's the only time she touches the ball :)

look at that box out!!!!

and check out that vertical!

water break!

great job brooklin!

DRAMA MAMA!!!

Today was the day Brooklin's 2nd loose tooth was coming out!

The first one was quite comical so I knew we were in for

 a treat... During lunch she bit down on her tooth

wrong and it really started to hurt.

So after lunch the drama began... It was a huge

ordeal and Mason got it all on video!

After 20-25 mins, the tooth came out

and life is back to normal...

before all the drama started...

My aunt and uncle had been staying at my mom's the weekend we went to Richfield so that Sunday we had dinner. My Grandma Karen and Grandpa Gene are staying in St. George for 3 months so we had everyone over to my parents house.
We're going to miss Marianne, Rick and Quinn as they head back to Alaska. It's been fun spending so much time with them this past month! We love you so much...

The first weekend in December Mason and I tagged along with my parents to watch Kasey's basketball team. Brooklin didn't want to miss school (PE or her spelling test) on Friday so she stayed home with dad and they went to the Muppets.
Kasey's team played Desert Hills Friday and got beat by 30. We headed back to the hotel which had a pool so the kiddos went swimming. We hadn't brought our suits with us so Mason improvised and wore his boxer briefs! We only had to save Jackson once from drowning and Addi a couple times :)
Saturday they played Hurricane and beat them in double OT - it was an awesome game! His boys did a great job and hopefully they will have a successful season.
It was pretty much snowing and quite coldy both days we were there... So glad I live in the sunshine!!!

mason just wanted snacks

addi bug

he loved swimming!

this is about when jacks went under - mason tipped him...

i'm totally squinting but had to get a pic with the snow...

entertaining the kiddos during the game!

randomness...

I found these pics on my camera and I'm assuming Nick took them???? I thought they were pretty cute! Our neighbor had given the kids these reindeer antlers - I guess they were modeling!
