It's March Madness!

Along with the blossoms, NCAA basketball makes March my favorite time of year!!  Before we had kids, Sho and I would spend the first round of the tournament watching all of the games and eating salami and cheese... and we decided we should include the kids in our little tradition.  Though we don't have enough free time to watch all the games, we still need to eat, so we let Ben and Jason partake in eating in front of the TV while we watched Dayton beat Ohio State (which Sho happened to pick in his bracket).

Everyone seems to have the basketball bug... Kara is working on her shot and dribbling with both her right and left.  Watch out, Stephen Curry!

Ben, who a few months ago could only dribble about five times consecutively, was so proud to dribble 215 times in a row this morning!  He then asked Kara, "could you do that when you were my age?  I might be the first one."

Even Jason wanted a piece of the action.  He's such a big kid, I'm sure he'll be knocking 'em down soon... other kids, that is.

The other madness happening is the preparation for the Parlier Food Bazaar.  Pampa, Grandma and Sho joined the other members of the church as they prepared box lunches.  Rather than get in the way, the rest of us stayed at home but went to visit and see the craziness.

Just like college basketball season, I wish these days would last longer... So we cherish each "shining moment"!
