Wii!!!!!!

Our family decided to get a Wii. We love it so far, and so do our friends. What a great way to have the kids stay home and have their friends come over to play...we can keep our eye on them. Haha! Speaking of friends coming to play, I've got some great footage of our friends Krissy and Becky boxing each other. It's hilarious!!!!!

At church today they both said they were sooo sore. I just laughed. I remember at New Years when I played and how sore I was from playing. There's been no complaint from the kids. How is it that when you get a bit older and bigger that you end up getting completely sore after a tiny bit of exercise, and it never phases the kids? It's no fair!

These past few weeks we've been potty training Logan. It's gone great and he stays dry...as long as we aren't at home. What is that all about? It's so frustrating at times. He knows how to take care of business and knows when, but just doesn't make it. So, I'm staying out of the house as much as possible. :) I really do think it's just awesome that he is basically potty trained before he turns 3, that's not until March 8th. I can't believe my baby is going to be 3!!

Talking about growing up, Mater has really grown big. That tiny red automatic feeder bowl, in the picture below, used to be bigger than he was, now he's towering over it. He's so fun to have around. He's about ready to graduate from Puppy Training. He's really responded to the techniques of the trainer, and so have we. :) I recommend training to anyone with a dog. We've learned so much with how to have a loose leash walk where he's not pulling on it the whole time, how to get him to sit and stay for a long period of time(as we work with him more), to lay down, and just how to handle all the fun things that dogs bring into our lives. He seems like a much happier dog since we've started the training. Definately a must (unless you're already well versed on how to handle a dog).

The boys love playing with him, and once he's been out of his crate for long enough he starts to calm down and is really enjoyable to be around. It's fun to watch him grow. He's got an appointment the beginning of March to loose his man-hood, poor guy!

On to the next topic, Derek's Basketball season has come to an end. He had his end of the season celebration after his game. He got the "Push-Up Pro" award. At the beginning of the season Derek could not get the ball near the rim, so he asked his coach what he should do to help him get stonger. Coach Allen told him to do push-ups and it will make him stronger. Well, I'm not sure how many push-ups he did, but by the last practice he was making tons of baskets. It was so exciting!

Kaleb and Tyler's seasons are going to be over next Saturday. It's been fun watching them improve and enjoy the sport so much. It has also been frustrating having all the practices (3 days a week for 3 boys) and nearly every Saturday for the last 4 months taken up. I figure this is just the beginning of all the craziness, so I'd better get used to it.

Well, I think I'll end this Saga. Till next time, may you all have peace and the Lord's hand in your life to help you through whatever may come your way!
