Another basketball game & another 16 points!

This was the boys next to last basketball game. It was on January 30th. It was another great game for both boys. Myles scored 16 points & Connor scored 4 points. Myles revealed his signature move the week before & it continued this game. It is a really cute move. He goes close to the basket & acts like he is going to pass to another player. Well he starts pivoting & makes the other player follow him & then he has a free shot! He tried teaching the move to Connor!!!!

Getting a five from Coach Sandra after scoring!


Going for the shot!

Awards Day

The school had Awards Day a few weeks back & both boys received awards. Connor received an award for all A's & Perfect Attendance. Myles received an award for A/B Honor roll (he had 1 B), Perfect Attendance, and he had 100% for AR. This is the first time he has made 100% for AR so we were thrilled for him! They both are doing very well, and they have the best teachers!

This is Connor. He is saying "Oh no. She's here with the camera!"

Here is Connor smiling after he received his award. He is very well like among the K5 classes because the kids cheered his name after it was called! That is why he has this sweet little grin!


Myles receiving his awards from Mrs. Konecni.

January 24th basketball games!

I know that these pictures are a few weeks old. I'm trying to play catch up on the blog this morning while the boys play the Wii & Kevin sleeps in! Both boys played very well in his game this week. Connor scored 6 points & Myles scored 16 points! We were so excited for both boys! Myles had special guests come see him play, his best friend Ted! Of course he had to show off for his friend!

Connor coming out of the tunnel like a maniac!

Still dribbling!


I guess I took lots of good pics of him dribbling this game!

Ready for a pass. For some reason, he always gets really low to the court!

Meeting Victor "Macho" Harris & Ryan Shuman

Friday afternoon Kevin & I took the boys to the Senior Bowl's "Meet the Players" session. I picked up the boys & the Prescott's kids and headed downtown. Boy was it packed! There were thousands of U of Alabama fans there since John Parker Wilson was there. Thankfully we weren't there to see him, but instead the 2 Virginia Tech players that were there! The VT players weren't signing autographs until 5 so the boys played on the inflatables. Then the moment arrived that the boys had been waiting for all week! We managed to get in line early & timed it to where at 5 we were in the front of the line. It was so exciting meeting the VT players. Of course living in the SEC, we were the only VT fans there!!! I think the players were shocked to see us fans, but it was really good! The Press Register had a super nice article on Macho in Thursday's edition so we had a copy for each boy to get autographed. He also gave them one of his cards that he had. I plan to frame it once the VT stickers that I ordered arrive.

The crew in the parking garage getting excited!


Playing on the inflatables!


So excited to get to meet some VT players!

Here the boys are with Macho! I didn't know that the settings on my camera were set they way there were so the boys' faces are a little blurry. The focus was on Macho, which was really neat!


Connor getting his autograph!

So excited!

Myles & Macho!

We also got to meet Ryan Shuman's mother. She noticed at the VT gear that we were wearing & came up and introduced herself. She couldn't believe it when she saw us VT fans!!!

Connor's school project!

Connor celebrated the 100th day of school on Thursday. He had a project too. He had to make a picture using 100 of the same thing & Connor, yes Connor, came up with the best idea! He wanted to take a picture of the Hokie bird & make it into the VT symbol! So we found a picture on the internet & printed 100 of them (thankfully we could get 9 on a sheet of paper) then glued them the best way we could. It took up 2 poster boards! He teacher sent him a note home saying how creative it was but that it was for the wrong team! She's a huge Alabama fan & since VT will be playing Alabama in the season opener in September, we really knew she'd love it!

Finished project!


The boys acting silly


Connor giving his best VT sign!

Connor's birthday party

We had Connor's birthday party last Saturday at the skating rink! Yes, a little late, but I guess that is what happens when your actual birth day is on Christmas! He had a Star Wars/Indiana Jones party! All the paper supplies were Star Wars while the cake was Indiana Jones at his request!!!

Part of the party group~the others were skating!


The birthday boy getting ready for some pizza!


Look at those skating moves!


Another good move! He's not falling, he's just skating with one leg out!

Here's the Indy cake! I can't believe that there are 6 candles on the cake. My little boy is getting so big!

I love the pictures that I captured of him blowing out his candles!

Still blowing!

Daddy had trick candles so here I go again...whew!

Very excited to get some games for his Gamecube!
