Be Tough!

First Rule On Parenting:

Don't teach your kids any new words of wisdom unless you plan on abiding by those words yourself. Case in point: this video.

Mackenzie & Jace's Concert

Not a lot of posts recently, mainly because we've had a busy (and largely unsuccessful) basketball season after Christmas. Some makeup games from before break meant we played six games in 11 days...and lost all of them. Uggh. Our JV team didn't fair much better, but at least we got a win on Friday.

We decided to brighten our spirits by having Mackenzie and Jace put on a concert for us. It included a change of wardrobe, some crazy songs, and even Jace with pom-pons (sigh). Don't try to recognize any of the songs, because they didn't know them either.

KSU Basketball

We usually try to make it to at least one KSU basketball game, and usually the only time I have to do it is during Christmas Break. Last Tuesday we went to their game against Wagner. The game was a blowout, but thanks to some great seats we got to see the action up close, and we heard from about 10 people that Mackenzie and Jace got on TV. You might not be able to tell from these pictures, but it was a lot of fun. Since the football team is home once again for the holidays it is good to see the basketball team picking up the slack.


This is as close to the court as we're going to get! Great seats!



This was taken right after Willie had passed Mackenzie by for a T-shirt after she had been yelling for one. How could he do such a thing? :)



And this was taken after Jace had had enough basketball. Can you tell he was upset?



Karmen and Jeremy Girard and their two boys went with us to the game. Thanks for the tickets, guys!
