Elise is really enjoying basketball and so are we. It's quite entertaining to watch 7 year olds play basketball. You can't be too worried about traveling, double dribbles, out of bounds etc. at this age. It's hilarious!

Early out at school on a WARM winter day!
This was taken just a few days ago on February 1st, the kids had an early out from school (12:35). It was 62 degrees outside and it felt like late spring. The sun was out, the kids were running around and screaming like mad people and all was good. We have a LOT of girls in our neighborhood and just about every 5 minutes or so somebody was telling on someone else to me, or crying... or mad, but I really think they had fun! After a while Jayden and Nathan Davis joined the group along with Nate Hasso and TJ Anthony, there were TONS of kids in the back yard!
Olivia Freundl, Gabi and Giada Grimes, Elise, Caroline and Ella Murphy, Lauren, Natalie Freundl and Lauren Wood. Olivia is our youngest kiddo at just over 3 years old and Gabi is the oldest who is 8 1/2.

Lauren Teaches Daddy to Hula Hoop!
I may get in trouble for posting this video but it is SOOOO funny. Eric bought Lauren and Elise a hula hoop. Lauren taught herself at school apparently... we have never seen her do this and she is like the energizer bunny... she keeps going... and going... and going....

We needed and adult out there so I sent Lauren to Eric Barta in her sweet little voice to ask if he'd take them... he can't say no to Lauren!
