jr jazz, veggies, our pet fishies, and our little pup

 For the past 2 1/2 months, Will has been playing Jr. Jazz. He had practices and games every Wednesday night at the Legacy Center. We were happy that one of his buddies from his Kindergarten class was on his team! That made things much easier for Will.  I was so proud of Will for trying so hard. He had never really even held a basketball before starting Jr. Jazz.  Over the 2 months, he really improved his skills and had a lot of fun doing it. I loved watching him running around with a big smile on his face. He is still very timid and NOT aggressive at all, he'd much rather stand out of the way and just watch. But as he gains some confidence I can see him getting into the action a little bit more.
 Last week we went to dinner. I ordered for the boys and their food came with a side of veggies. I was so shocked that Eli was eating the vegetables that I had to snap a few pictures! Seriously, this child only eats about five different things, and has NEVER eaten vegetables. Even as a baby, I have tried everything, but he just won't do it. However, for some reason while we were at dinner at the restaurant, he couldn't get enough and just kept eating and eating and eating them. I was amazed!
 That's a tomato on the end of the fork. I thought there would be no way he'd eat it.....
 Going, going,........
 GONE!

I think the best part of the boys week was when Dad came home with FOUR goldfish after work on Friday! Yep, we are officially a pet family. The boys were SO excited and haven't stopped enjoying them since. I'm sure the novelty will wear off..... but for now, they are loving it. 
 They had a great time setting up the tank and transferring the fish and feeding them. It was a very exciting day at our house!

Yesterday, my nephew had a birthday party. He loves dogs, and loves to pretend he IS a dog, so it was only fitting that my sister did a "Doggie" party. When we went to pick up Will and Eli from the party, Eli had a little doggie nose and tail. Well, he wore that nose and doggie tail for about 3 hours straight. He loved it! It was hilarious, we had to run some errands and he wore them the entire time. It was pretty funny. When I asked him if I could take a picture, these were the doggie faces I got......

Such a funny boy! Our boys are totally the light of our lives. We have so much fun! Eli stresses me out and is so completely different from Will that most of the time I have no idea what I'm doing and I just try to keep him satisfied. :) Our days are filled with craziness and busy little things, but we are having a great time and I am so happy to be a mother. We are really looking forward to some warmer spring weather so we can be outside and burn off some of our pent up energy!
