Basketball!

Basketball is huge in our house. Ajay and Maddox have been practicing their skills for months, watching basketball games and videos to get better.  Sadly, it is hard to play basketball outside in the snow now, so they were forced to find somewhere else to play.  Luckily we found a gym nearby for them to practice.

 So its no surprise that when Ajay and Maddox tried out for their middle school basketball team that they both made it into Tier 1.   They are the only two boys from grade 6 that made it onto Tier 1.

Ajay and Maddox's 11th birthday party

Ajay and Maddox turned 11 this past month.  This year we had a simple birthday party.  We invited a bunch of their friends over to play sports and video games.  They ended up playing basketball for most of the party and had a great time.

Builder's Gala

This year, through Anton's work we were able to attend the annual Builder's Gala.  It is a black tie event, so we had to get Anton a suit.  They had an auction, and one of the items was a giant blowup flamingo that you can use in a lake or pool.  I immediately thought of my daughter Amara, since she would love one of these.

Halloween!

Happy Halloween!  Amara was super excited to be a witch for Halloween this year. Luckily for me we got the costume from friends of ours.  Ajay and Maddox were not quite as excited about Halloween and did not even dress up at school.  They did find some costumes in the basement because they still did want to go trick or treating.
