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.
Having this picture on my blog is the only excuse I have to look at it...so it's here to stay.
Overheard at Our House
Yesterday as Tyler was having his Father/Son interview with Briggs they got talking about signs of the last days and Second Coming. Tyler told Briggs that there would be a lot of natural disasters such as tornadoes, earthquakes, and tidal waves. Briggs said, "Oh yeah! I know! And like losing a coin or Playstation and busted controllers!"
Tyler recently spent 5 hours in the emergency room with Porter after a particularly bad attack of an asthma like condition he has. Driving home at the end of the 5 hours Porter turned to Tyler and said, "Dad, I appreciate your obedience. You were very good and very brave."
A Recent Dinner Conversation:
Porter: (As Mom shoes a fly away from his head) This fly is my buddy Mom!
Mom: Well did you know that your buddy has poo-poo feet?
Porter: (Choked out between sobs and a torrent of tears.) Don't call my buddy a name! Why did you say that about my buddy Mom? He doesn't have poo-poo on his feet!
Nothing I could say made it better. He only cried more until I just apologized for the poo-poo name calling incident.
