That said....
Here is what we've been up to over the last month (or two!).
BASKETBALL:
This is the boys' favorite sport by far. They both did great this season. Nathan's team played up a few levels. They had to play hard every single game. Playing in this league meant to was able to play with all of his friends vs. the random team placement of the local rec league. He had a blast!
This was Garrett's first season of basketball and he did great. Took a while to get the hang of it but once he did he was insane. My favorite was when they'd get the ball on offense Garrett would haul down to the other end of the court, stand right under the basket with his hands in the air and scream "PASS" "PASS" at the top of his lungs.
The boys are totally hooked now. They loved it so much that Quinn picked up a basketball hoop for them at Costco. They play out there rain or shine every day after school and for hours on the weekend. We don't have the best driveway for basketball because of the slope, so we're putting a sport court in at the front corner of our property. I can't wait. The kids are going to love it! Perfect timing for summer.
SNOWBOARDING:
Quinn went on the annual Corbis catskiing trip in Fernie. The conditions were even better this year and the group of guys he went with were really fun. He loved it. He also made it to Sandpoint with his buddies.
Conditions locally this winter have been hit or miss. Quinn and the boys haven't been up as much as they'd like. These are pictures of Garrett's first snowboarding trip ever. He got a new snowboard from Santa and had to wait over two months to get up to the mountain. He's a pro. We did get to go up tubing this year though. I love it.
FLAG FOOTBALL:
Quinn is coaching Nater's 5th/6th grade flag football team. We lucked out and all of his friends that signed up are on his team. Our families are all really good friends which will make for a fun season, especially when the weather warms up!
SOCCER:
Nathan chose spring soccer over baseball this Spring. Baseball's way too slow for him. He likes the fast paced games much better. He gets his baseball fix by helping out with Garrett's baseball team. His first soccer game is this Saturday.
BASEBALL:
This is Garrett's second season of baseball. He's on the Diamondbacks again. We had our first practice yesterday and he did great. He's a slugger. He's also the joker on the team. They only get two more practices and then it's straight to games. Should be interesting. Especially since we've moved to coach pitch!
TRIPS:
I went on my annual trip to Lake Chelan for Scrapfest, a three day scrapbooking crop at Memories by the Lake. I look forward to this every year; and even though this trip was interrupted by a massive migraine I still had fun. I got over a dozen pages done and won a $100 gift certificate so overall a great trip. Here are a couple of my favorites...
We also spent a few days at Great Wolf Lodge during Spring Break. Always fun.
Quinn travelled for work a lot over the last few months; but he's hopefully done for a while until a trip to New York this summer.
MISCELLANEOUS:
The boys were hit with a nasty, knock you down flu in March. The real flu. High fever for days, coughs, aches and pains. Nathan had a three year perfect attendance record going. He was SO bummed he had to stay home. Garrett on the other hand was begging to stay home even when he started feeling better. He'd much rather stay home with Mom.
