Our Own Flynn Ryder

 Have you seen the movie Tangled? Gavin loves making the "smolder" face of Flynn Ryder. We never have gotten a picture of him doing it, until now. We just received the pictures they took at Prom. (We opted out of the expensive package, and instead one of the girls' mom took the pictures for them.) Here are two pictures one of Gavin doing the smolder to his date, and the other one is of him doing the smolder by himself. The group all thought it was so funny, the photographer took a picture just of him. Handsome guy!

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS......WOW!!!!!

Have you ever looked at your children and thought, "I wonder which one of us they get that from"? Well Jayson and I are baffled by this child. (Personally I think she gets it from Jayson :))She has definitely got a mind of her own. Elizabeth is now 3 years old and LOVES hats and shoes. She has to dress herself, and changes outfits at least 2 times a day, and nothing ever matches. Her new love is her gum boots or snow boots, and as far as hats, anything goes. Funny, funny girl. She keeps us laughing!

Wow, Time Flies By!

So much has happened, and not enough time to recap. We will just have to start where we are at....

The latest news is that Gavin's High School basketball team won District Champions! They all got to cut a piece of the net, and received a neat key chain that says District Champs.

Since they were District Champs, that meant they also went to State. It was so fun to send them off. First, all of the parents put together baskets for each boy. We had snacks, drinks, a T-shirt, a pillowcase with their name, number, and district picture on the front. Each parent presented it to their son at an assembly put on by the school to send them off. After that the parents all got in their cars and with a police escort at the front of the bus, and one at the end of the parents cars, we followed the bus out of town with sirens going, and horns honking. Sometimes it is really fun to live in a smaller community. They ended up losing their first game, (which they should have won). State jitters I guess. Their second game they won by 20. That let them go on to compete for the consolation prize. They ended up loosing that game by 7. It was still fun for the boys, and exciting to be able to go to State. The pictures of us following the bus out of town are not so great due to cloudy skies, and taking them through my windshield.
