Our Week

It's basketball season... and this week, we have watched a lot of basketball!  Last year during basketball season, Kara became friends with one of the Clay 8th graders who now plays on the Kingsburg varsity team, so we went to go watch the game against Selma.  Though Kingsburg didn't win, Kara got a big hug from Karen after the game, which left Kara with a big smile.

The following evening, we went to see the Fresno City women's team play against Reedley.  And for the second evening a row, Kara was flanked by me and Grandpa and since Grandpa and I seem to have all of the same comments when watching a basketball game, Kara was probably hearing them in surround-sound.  Hopefully this wasn't too annoying and I hope that one day, she will also appreciate Grandpa's love of basketball and the words of wisdom that come along with it... and that she'll always remember to block out!

In addition, the Clay girls had two games this week (which they won... yeah!) so it has been quite a week!

Ben had his friend, Chase, over on Friday after school for a play date.  Fortunately, the weather stayed nice and the boys got to play outside and have a great time.

We woke up to rain this morning and no one was eager to get out of their pajamas, but we made a quick stop at Kady's to pick up a huge, yummy cinnamon roll to have as part of breakfast.

Oddly enough, one of my favorite moments was on Friday morning when my alarm went off at 6:30am... Sho is on a business trip and Jason had, at some point in the sleeping hours, climbed into bed with me.  The alarm goes off and I say to Jason, "I have to get up and get in the shower," to which he responds, "stay wiff (with) me.  Stay wiff me, Mommy."  Knowing I have to get breakfast and lunches together and make sure everyone is ready to go to school on time, I say again, "but I have to get up," and he again says, "just stay wiff me, Mommy."  How can you say no??

Whether it's a sunny day, shared moments with family and friends or an extra snuggle, I cherish it all!
