It's Game Time Baby!

Round 1.....Oooooowen Bradley Hiiiime!

Can't you just hear the announcers introducing this big guy?  

Standing at 4 feet 2 inches tall and weighing in at 35 pounds he is a force to be reckoned with.

He can bounce around his defense like Tigger and runs the floor like a Cheetah. 

He's coached by Mr. Greg and Daddy and at the end of every practice comes home sweaty and happy.

Playing his first year at Next Level Basketball, Owen is on the Knicks and Loving. Every. Minute

Way to go Hops, You are doing great!

Soccer Joys

Spring Soccer.
(Not sure if this ever posted, since it is in our draft folder..if not here it is for memories!)

I don't think Katie has been more excited to try something then soccer.  One of the things we have tried to do as parents for sports and other extra curricular activities, is to wait until our kids ask to try something.  And for the past year Katie has asked and asked again to play soccer.  In the fall we missed the deadline to play so we opted to wait for spring and then give it a go!  And Katie is loving it. She couldn't wait to buy her shin guards, socks, size 3 ball and some cleats. The program she is playing with is Kickn 4 the Cross and she's in the instructional league.  They do 30 minutes of practice, 5 minutes of devotions and 25 minutes of playing.  I wish you all could see her play!  She gives it her all (running all the time with her long lanky legs :) and so far has loved every minute of it.  She is getting into the game, trying not to use her hands, learning that it is okay to steal the ball and even had a goal last week! 

Every week she is wishing and praying that it is sunny the next Saturday so the games aren't canceled.  

We LOVE her excitement and are super glad she is playing well. What a treat to be parents on the sidelines cheering for our Pips!  Go Katie Go!

How bout 'em WILDCATS!

SOoooooooooo.....
the cats survived double OT to move on in the tourney to the elite 8!

Justin and I both graduated from KSU and it is fun to see them doing well! :) When we were at school the football team was the sports team to watch (8 years ago). Now it seems as if basketball is running the show! We really haven't followed them-which for us is because we can't ever get any big 12 game on the TV (we live in ACC country) and it is a bit out of sight, out of mind. But don't get me wrong we LOVED our college experience and our friends! And we still LOVE LOVE our friends deeply!

Then Justin grew up watching the Jayhawks in Lawrence so basketball around here is normally rooting for them. But in this case with KU out of it and us spending a small fortune at KSU we are happy to say GO CATS, Go all the way!

*side note...my sister and brother in law are SO much more KSU fans attending EVERY GAME for football or basketball and they have enough purple power for us. Thanks Pie for cheering them on!
