Idaho Stampede basketball!!

Last night we went to the Idaho Stampede basketball game. It was the AAU/Y-Ball game so they had extra stuff for the kids. We had quite the party.... Steve, Zac, Jamie, Cory, Mike, Koli, Nathan, Carlos, Andrea, Drew, Adam and I!! While the players were warming up the boys got to sit on the court and watch, then when the introduced the players the kids made a tunnel and the players slapped their hands!! It was a great game and we had really good seats. Jamie went out at quarter and did a contest where she had to dress in boys clothes and make a lay-up. She won!! Go Jamie! Cory played game and won tickets!! Go Cory!! Then after the game all the players came out and signed autographs. We got Zac a basketball and all the players, cheerleaders and the mascot signed!! The players were so nice and the boys had a GREAT time!! OH!! and Cory got his phone signed also!! By Coby Karl!! What a fun night!! Now I have video of the boys making a tunnel and Jamie's race but getting it from the camera, to the computer and onto here I haven't figured out yet!! Check back later and I will figure it out!!

Oh, in case you were confused I thought I should mention Zac has decided to change how he spells his name. He came to me and explained because it is Zachary everyone spells it Zach and he doesn't like the h he likes the k. So since everyone was spelling it wrong he would just make it easier and go with ZAC. Now you know!!

Day after Thanksgiving shopping

Funniest thing!! Steve and Zac got up on Friday morning and braved Walmart with me for the day after thanksgiving day sale!! 3:30am and Zac is up and ready to go. Zac shopped with me until noon (Steve had to work at 9) and then we went home for an hour or so before I had to go to work and Zac went to Grandma Rose's house. Did he rest?? Oh no they played and watched football!! (Go Broncos!! Kicked Fresno's butt!! Ian Johnson tied the most rushing (? is that right) touchdowns!! Amazing game!!) So I pick him up after work and we are on our way home. We are almost there and talking about dinner, I take a call from Steve, one mile later I try to confirm what Zac wants for dinner and he is snoring in the back seat!! Poor kid made it until 7pm. Then we got home he ate dinner and stayed up until 9pm. What a trooper!! My little buddy was so helpful and in a good mood all day!! I love him!!

Thanksgiving in Cascade

For Thanksgiving this year we went up to see April in Cascade. Zac went up a couple days early to play and then Steve and I drove up for the day. April made us yummy rolls for breakfast and then we went to Mom's for dinner. We had turkey, potatoes, stuffing, rolls and even ham. Crystal and her family were there and so was Christopher. We watched some football, played some football and then Arthur and Mark(friends of the family) got out their toys and we played. Now I want you to know that there isn't a picture because I of course had the camera but I took a few turns on the 4 wheeler too!! We had such a wonderful day and loved being with our family!! We hope you all had a good day too and we are so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family!! We love ya!

Idaho Stampede practice

On November 16th we got to watch the Idaho Stampede's first practice of the season. Steve, Cory, Zac and I met up with Nathan, Koli and Mike. We got to sit right up close and see the different drills they run (made me tired just watching!!), their warm-ups and got to see who the players were for the year (some even talked to us!)

October stuff I missed!! Sorry!

Ok..... I was just noticing that I didn't tell you guys about some fun stuff we did so I am rewinding really fast so this is a little out of order. First, did I mention Jamie got a puppy?? Lexy is an 11 month old 160lb mastiff who is the biggest baby I have ever met. Scared of her own reflection. (you should see her in front of a mirror!!) She came to Grandma and Grandpa's and then has spent some time at our house. Zac is of course in love he got his lap dog and monster dog in one. We love her and it's fun to get to babysit now that we taught her how to go up the stairs (she was scared of them) and her and I came to an understanding about sleeping on the floor and not the couch or my bed!! Jamie spoiled her!!

Okay also on October, I think, the 15th we went to the corn maze with our friends Dave, Angie, Emma, Brandon, Mike, Koli and Nathan. We had such a great time!! We bounced, we drove, we walked and we slid!! It was a beautiful night not cold or windy and everyone had fun!!

Also I didn't tell you about Halloween!! We did something different and went to Nampa to trick or treat with our friends Debbie, Jonathon and Lizzy. We met up with a bunch of friends and wandered around the neighborhood and then went to a party at Debbie's mom's house. There was food and games and scary stories (Debbie frightening the children!!) Zac was so excited to see Lizzy and Jon anyway because they go to a different school now and he got to dress up as Cory for the day. Cory let him borrow his jersey, helmet, gloves and all still dirty, freshly used after the Nampa game. Zac was in hog heaven!! Thanks Cory!!

New picture from 2006

OH HOW THEY CHANGE!! I don't have a lot of time right now but I was going through some pictures and found this one. Two years makes some difference. Sorry kids I know you probably don't want old pictures out.

Cory's Football Season

This was Cory's last football game. In case you don't remember he is #3. He had a really great year even though the team was 1-9.

November 8th More and more basketball!!

Zack had his second game today!! The boys learned a play at practice and we tried it out during the game. We struggled a little but it started to come together. They are having fun and the coach is really great!! GO BRONCOS!!!

November 1st Basketball

Well we are done with football so now we move on to basketball. Zack had his first game and I must brag they did sooooo well. His friends Nathan and Adam are on the team too and we met some new people. We had so much fun watching them. I like being indoors to watch sports so I guess that is one of the reasons I like basketball more. Here are a few pictures so you can see some of what we saw!! Go Broncos!! (Oh that is there team name) Just a FYI I am using a new picture thing so you have to click on the picture to go to the next one.
