April 2013

Well since April will be over next week I thought I should post about what we have been up to this month. 

We signed Zach up for basketball and he has enjoyed it. He only played 5 games but had 7 weeks of practice 2 days a week. 

He played on a 1st/2nd grade team. So there were kids who were 6 and some who were almost 8/9. So the skill level is all over the place. I missed his last game so while Travis was assistant coaching from the sideline he snapped a few pictures!

Guarding! We had to work on this with him a lot. And by the last game he got pretty good. 

A few more action shots. We are glad that he had fun. The problem we had is that he always gets put on the crap teams. Or as we like to call it "The Bad News Bears," kind of teams. You are not allowed to request a coach or certain players to be put on the team. However there were a few teams that were playing like the NBA and didn't follow the rules. But that's how it goes on the city league team. He wants to play soccer again in the Fall or maybe flag football. We'll see!

Well April is also my birthday month and boy was I spoiled for my 32nd year of life!!

This is what Travis and the kids got me! I got to open this up first thing in the morning! I got to sleep in and Travis got the kids ready for school!

Later that evening we went to Red Robin's like we do every year! I am enrolled in the birthday club so my dinner was free!

My mom got me this wonderful cook book! I can't wait to try the recipes! She also sent a necklace and a metzaluna to use in the kitchen!

My dad and step-mom sent a beautiful card reminding me how special I am and a nice monetary gift inside! Never too old for that!! 

From my best friend Janelle I got an Amazon gift card to use with my new Kindle. I got flowers from Bailey and Ryleigh, they are still alive and beautiful!

Thanks for all the birthday wished and texts that I received from family and friends. 

On a side note. My foot is feeling better. I just started week 4 in my boot. I have gotten used to it. I can walk without my boot around the house. So I am making progress. 

Happy Spring!
