Basketball Practice 2008

This week was the first week of Cole's 2nd grade basketball and Trevor and I are the coaches... yes you hear that right - Trevor and I - coaching 2nd grade bball... are we crazy I don't know yet... but let me just say that 2nd grade bball is a little chaotic and crazy, but tons of fun.. and who doesn't love the flashback of sitting in the middle of the gym learning about BEEF - Balance, Elbow, Eyes, Followthrough... I felt like I was back in school... hilarious! Here's a few pics of the fun...

First Christmas of 2008

On Sunday we visited Aunt Maude & Tom's house for our first Christmas of the year. We had a great time eating way too much food (no thanks to the pecan pie I burned that morning - good work bringing a different one Julie) and playing Bingo... we never get tired of Trevor saying uh huh every time his number is called... And of course, we had a special visitor - Santa, here are some pics of his arrival.

Jadyn's Christmas Play...

This week was little City's Christmas play at his school Howardsville Christian. He did a great job singing with his class, and was looking quite grown up in his shirt and tie. We're a litle worried about his arms though.. as you can see in the picture they don't seem to work above his head :-) we're gonna have to work on that one city folk.

Thanksgiving & Lyz's Birthday

Thanksgiving & Lyz's b-day celebration was at our house was last weekend, and we had a great time. Of course we ate too much - can u say full on bread and olives and cheese before we even started eating...? The food was great, even the Pumpkin Pie despite my best efforts... and Rilley and Lilly once again had fun playing with the blocks - if you read this blog much you will notice we have like 1 toy at our house ... very boring... I think Lyz is going to bring us some new toys so the kids will have something different to play with....

All I really needed to know I learned on the Farm...

We recently had "farm dinner" with everyone who works on the farm during the year. It was a great time and we reminisced about some of the things we had learned in the last year of farming.... I would say we could actually replace All I ever needed to know I learned in Kindergarten to All I ever needed to know I learned on the farm.. but I think I will need some help. Here's what I have so far...

• Put things back where you find them.
• Tractors are Green, Trucks are Red.
• Smoke = Fire (maybe combine) GET THE WATER.
•Often in life, its better to be the hired man than the boss
• Quite a little bit means more than a little but less than a lot.
• You can learn a lot about a person by the way their hat is cocked.
• Lunchtime is at 12:00 noon - Don't bring spaghetti.
• When you go out into the world, look both ways when you cross the street.
• Rain is good - except when there is too much.
• Roots go down, plants go up - enough said
•No one actually knows where the Wasmunski place is...
•A pothole/wethole should probably remain that way... unless its in the way of something
•When its brown, it's down
•When life's got you down - pet King Kitty
