Two NBA stars in the family?


Matt's band played at the Bellingham Slam's basketball game a couple of weeks ago. Matt was asked to participate in one of their games. He had 30 seconds to make a lay-up, free throw, three pointer and half court baskets. He could shoot as many times as it took to make the basket. Matt made all of the baskets but the half court (he did hit the rim on the half court shot). He won a hat for the lay-up, basketball for the free throw, and a $20 gift certificate to Bob's Burger and Brew for the 3 pointer. He would have won 2 round trip tickets to Vegas had he made the half court shot! Way to go Matt!

Go Aaron!

Our little NBA Star!

Daddy you're so funny!

Who knew Daddy's belly could be so much fun?

More snow...now Matt will be teaching until July!

Thanks Grandma Mel for my great snow clothes...I stayed toasty warm! Also, thanks Grandma Kit for my hat and gloves!


Who knew you could mow snow!

A self-portrait...Aaron wasn't too happy...he wanted to walk!

Aaron took me on a walk all through the neighborhood. At one point he decided to explore a neighbor's driveway...we're still working on boundaries. :) He seemed to really enjoy the snow.
