Let's see, where to even begin...
Since November was my last post, I guess I should go back to December. We spent Christmas in Kentucky, as most of you know. We had a great time and the boys loved playing with their cousins. I think they succeeded in wearing everyone out! :)
January, well, where did it go?? Not sure. Jake started playing basketball and had games all through January. He did great for his first year playing. The regular season has ended, but he's playing on a tournament team and we have our 2nd tournament this weekend.
This is a great bunch of boys and is almost the same kids that were on the baseball tournament team...which we have already started practicing for!! no rest...
February has been a fun month. We went snowskiing i Breckenridge Colorado last week for Winter Break. We dropped Riley off with Grand Jo & Papa Bruce in Amarillo about 1:30 am early, early Wednesday morning. So he got to stay with them while the rest of us went on to Colorado.
We put Jake & Hunter in ski lessons the 1st day. Jake is a natural, he picked it up so quickly that he was skiing blue/blacks by the 2nd day. Hunter did great too. We skied together all day Friday. I'm ok with staying on the greens... I figure by the time Riley is ready for the blues and blacks, I will be too...hopefully :)
Jake had a b-day yesterday. I can't believe he's 9. What's even harder to believe is that Hunter will be 7 in 3 months! My babies are growing up!
I would like to ask for prayers for a little boy in our area who was burned terribly last weekend. They live out in the country and were burning some trash when a gas can apparently exploded on this child. He's the youngest of 3 boys and only 5 years old. He will probably lose both hands and both ears. The other 2 boys had minor burns and their mother has pretty bad burns on her hands.
Here is a link to a blog that his aunt is doing to keep people updated. I don't know them personally, but I just can't imagine what this family is going through.

Anyway, hope everyone is well. I'll try to do better!
