Jim's Birthday!

Happy Birthday Jim!

I am writing this months later so my memory is foggy...We celebrated Jim's 37th birthday this year! Wow he is old ;) Truely I must say that Jim is my best friend. For Christmas I bought Jim a mini plan of season tickets to the SDSU basketball games. The last game happened to be on his birthday.....not to mention they won the game and became Co-champions with BYU in their division. That was a really exciting game that neither of us will ever forget! (Pictures below).

Kids made Jim's cupcakes

Proud of their work and begging to eat them.

The traditional birthday donut.

What could this be?

Not to old for a nerf gun.

After the game we rushed the court....we felt like college students again!

Singing the fight song

Proof that we are actually on the court!

Look how close we are!

I believe this is DJ Gay (point guard)

That was some of the most exciting two hours. It being the last game of the best team SDSU has ever seen and mostly seniors. I will never forget the stadium rocking when all the students jumped up and down and chanted "I believe that we will win, I believe that we will win......."

I think Jim had a great birthday...just the way he would have wanted it!

Stuff Jack likes to do

Play mobil vs. Lego guys

In a match of Wizard Chess

We have recently set up all of Jack's toys down in the garage for his own playroom (to keep Violet away from all the small pieces). He can spend hours down there just pretending...so I thought i would take a picture of what he likes to do. This time he decided to play wizard chess (from Harry Potter) and set up all the playmobil guys and lego guys. Another time I walk down there and he had all his pirate lego guys set up very deliberately...mind you the pirate guys with their scruffy beards and patches of their eyes, swords and scruffy beards....a ruthless looking bunch. I asked Jack "What are you pretending?" He said, "Mom, these are the 12 Apostles."

Hahahaaa!

He is also big into playing basketball in the garage right now. I move the car and he sets up the hoop. He has been inspired by all the SDSU basketball games we have been going to!

I love you mr. Jack.......you make me smile.

A house full of kids

Lunch with friends!

On Tuesday we had our playgroup at our house for lunch. Nothing I love more than the sound of kids running around my house having a blast. We had some playing downstairs in the garage on the bouncy house and playroom, some in the office (another playroom), and some upstairs. All were running around having a great time. There were probably about 12 kids (my house is small), but all were just having a great time with each other and their were no complaints! It was really nice for the moms, we just got to hang out and chat! I love having a house full of people.....it makes me happy. Happy day.
