Hoop 10

Faith started Hoop 10 last weekend. Her team is very young. She says she loves it, and we love to watch her. Schaeffer tags along with us and plays with his animals while Faith is learning the game of basketball.

Easter

Our friends, Lance, Katie, Drew and Ty came to spend the Easter weekend with us. We had so much fun. Schaeffer and Drew loved every minute of it. They were both so excited, that they had some trouble falling asleep the first night. Katie and I enjoyed the weekend as well. Ty followed Schaeffer and Drew around. Schaeffer got a chance to see what it would be like to have a little brother following him around for two days. Lance and Jason had fun driving around the farm. 

Weekend with Faith

Last Sunday we got to spend the entire day at home. This is special for us because we rarely get to do this. We went to Saturday night church and then spent all day at home Sunday. Faith and Schaeffer played dress-up, baked cupcakes and bet Dad at a few Wii games.

Wee Ball

Schaeffer made his first basket at his basketball game Thursday night. He was so proud of himself. He had to look into the crowd to make sure that we were all watching. He enjoys playing until he gets bored. Once he gets bored, he is done. Faith likes to watch him, but she is a little concerned that he does not always focus on the game. He is a little stubborn. Wonder where he gets that from?

Plumbing Problems

On Friday, we did not have school. School was cancelled because of the snow in the area. We enjoyed a day at home keeping warm and watching movies.  Schaeffer was playing with his new Batman toy from Nanny when he decided to see what would happen if he flushed it down the toilet.  The toy is stuck in our toilet and we are able to get it out. We will be calling a plumber on Monday, but while we are home over the weekend, Schaeffer and Jason have been using a plunger.

Needless, to say we had a big talk about what goes in the toilet and what doesn't.

It Is Schaeffer's Turn

After years of following his big sister to basketball, soccer, t-ball and all other types of activities, Schaeffer has finally become old enough to participate in sports. He had decided to play basketball, so I signed him up for Wee Ball with YMCA.  Then all his little buddies were playing Kids, Inc. Soccer and he wanted to do that too. I know this is too much for a 4 year old, and I always said that, "my kid would only be in one activity at a time at age 4." Well my friend at work who has 5 grown sons said, "You have learned as a mother to NEVER SAY NEVER!" 

Schaeffer is not really enjoying soccer. He likes it because all of his buddies are there, but he could care less about the game. Basketball is another story. He actually shows some interest. Once again he is only 4, so Jason & I are trying to encourage him to have fun and be a part of a team.

Who knows what he will grow up to choose!

Spring Break 2009

We had a wonderful Spring Break. Jason & I went to New York for some touring, basketball and Broadway shows.  Schaeffer went to Dimmitt for a vacation with Nanny and That.  Everyone made it back to Claude and adjusted back to school life for the week.
