This is pure dedication if you can play basketball in the pouring rain.  Ha ha!  It was Sadie, Jarom and Elijah out.  Jarom is playing basketball for the YMCA.

Elijah also played basketball for the YMCA and really liked his teammates and playing.

Elijah dressed up Sadie's turtle

This is an all too common site.  Nathan has had Josiah in the mix too at times.  It's all about math.

Band

Jarom seems to enjoy playing the euphonium in band.  The middle school kids were able to play at a basketball game this week with the High school.   

Snow day!

We get out of school pretty easily with only a skiff of snow.  There wasn't much on the ground at all but enough to make this crazy guy on our concrete slab.  

Sadie's birthday!

Sadie picked a great "cake" choice.  It was quite yummy and a bit healthy right?  

Sadie is one super gal.  She has been attending classes at our local college this year.  She is on track to receive her associates degree when she graduates from High School. Her current school load is 18 credits.  She has an 8 credit math class that has kept her and her dad hopping.   She is also playing basketball and continues to work at Old Navy.    We have been quite impressed with her.   She is till set to go to Paraguay this summer for the humanitarian experience.    

While Nathan and I were on a date and found this story of a boat name Sadie K.  

Christmas 2019

We had a nice Christmas.  We had lots of boxing happening.  Jarom got his week supply of Nutella.  Ha ha it might have lasted three weeks.   Elijah had a super hard football building block set to put together.  I love being able to have Christmas day to focus on Christ and my family.  What a blessing to have a break from the every day run of the mill "Stuff".  

Christmas events

This was the only pic taken at Jarom's band concert.  It is so hard to get any good ones.

This was the last Cub Scout Packing Meeting.  Elijah is bummed to be done but I think we will keep it as it is for now.  

Frosty's breakfast has always been a highlight for all of the kids.  I have been to many of them and have even eaten the nice breakfast provided but I don't know why.

Elijah and a few friends.

This is the 3rd grade classes performing.  They did a great job

Christmas outfit

Josiah and I were out shopping last week and he saw a guy wearing this outfit.  The next store happened to have them.  He loves to dress up  and was so excited to find it.  He wore it to the youth activity last night and two other boys ended up getting one too.  All three of them wore it to school today.  I suspect Josiah's future home will be filled with some crazy decor for all holidays.  He is one fun kid and I love it.
