St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day 1K

The Saturday before St. Patty's, the base had a 1K race for kids and a 5K for adults.  Sophie and Briggs were signed up for the race, but Porter was a last minute addition - which is why he is running in crocs - but they all did great.  It was fun to watch them and Porter was pretty amazing for a 3 year old.  He was tearing it up!  I ran the 5K with my friend MaRae and certainly wasn't tearing it up, but we did beat most of the moms with baby joggers anyway!

The other day Porter hurt his leg while playing and came to me crying.  I said, "PORTER, DO YOU WANT ME TO KISS IT BETTER?" 

 

He replied, "NO." 

 

"WELL WOULD YOU LIKE A KISS ON YOUR CHEEK INSTEAD?"  

The answer was still, "NO."  

But I persisted!  "WELL WHAT IF I NEED A KISS ON MY CHEEK?"

 He thought about that for all of 2 seconds and answered, "WELL THEN DAD CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT!"

Basketball 2009

Basketball was really fun this year.  Sophie and Briggs got to play on the same team which made it quite nice for us!  They had fun and both did a great job.  It was especially fun to watch Sophie rule the key.  She is quite a bit taller than all the other kids and loved defense.  She always had a huge smile on her face once her opponent stopped dribbling and she could just tower over them with her arms up, rendering them helpless.  Briggs was really confident by the end of the season and was getting comfortable dribbling around people and putting up shops.  He was the very youngest on the team, so it will be really fun to watch him next year.
