The latest fun

First Grade field trip and first solo bike ride...and they couldn't be happier.

Party Weekend!

Celebrating seven and Easter in the same weekend makes for some happy, sugar-filled fun times.  These guys rock a party in a truck and with a basket...certainly doesn't get much better than this!

The busy boys

We are finding it harder and harder to keep up our blogging with sports, school, and the active social life of the brothers.  Lots of fun stuff and not enough pictures.

LEGOS

Legos...we've got plenty of 'em, we play with them, we aren't fanatics about them but we did love our visit to Legoland in Dallas.  Then Lego Kidfest came to town...WOW.  Those Lego folks know their audience and they made our four hour timed ticket worth every penny.

Year of the Snake

We enjoyed a fun New Years celebration today complete with lion parade, red envelopes, Chinese fans and friends.  What a great start to the year of the snake!

Jeremy Lin...watch out?

The brothers decided to give basketball a try this winter...interesting choice I thought...what the heck.  Zak is a 76er and Van is a Laker.  With the lowest of expectations for our first "games", we were pleasantly surprised and impressed.  Both boys actually actively (panting included) participated.  They both scored baskets and maybe kinda, sorta dribbled the ball once or twice.  Defense seems to be their strong suit so far.  Zak even faked out the other team with an offensive rebound and then mistakenly headed to the wrong basket with everyone in tow.  He managed to double back and score.  And yes they do keep score.  Van's team won and boy were they excited.  Zak's team did not and I don't even think they knew there was a score.  Oh the fun these two find!

Technology slowing me down

New computer for Christmas has meant big learning curve for mom on the photo storage/conversion process...hence the lack of fun bloggy posts lately. 
The brothers are still crazy and happy as ever and keeping me too busy to learn how to document and file their latest antics.  Lots of Skylander Giants, snow day fun, basketball season and just plain comedy.  
Promise to keep plugging at it and get it going soon. 
Happy 2013 to all and here's to some more snowy wintry cheeks coming your way!
