Whirlwind Weekend!!

I know it's a couple days late but I'm finally getting around to posting about our "Brett's bday-Brett's Last Football game-Blake's First Basketball game-Boys Bowling Party and First Earthquake Experience" weekend. Yes this all took place in 3 short days.

Friday was Brett's 9th birthday. His day started out with donuts for breakfast. Blake and I took him Taco Bell for lunch at school and then that night we all went out to eat at Sumo Japenese Steak House, Brett's most fav place ever.

My boys...Brett gives a thumbs up on his pile of shrimp.

After supper it was home to open his gift from Blake. (He gets his gift from us on Nov. 19th at the big family bday bash, as will Blake.)

Most definately excited about the Hero Factory toy.

Saturday morning we were off and running to Blake's first basketball game. As you can imagine 4/5 year old basketball is CHAOS!! However the kids thought it was fun and that's all that matters. Turned out Blake played against his buddy, Parker from his tball team....they were excited to see each other. Blake is so excited to play but I think its mostly because he gets to play something and Brett has to sit in the stands and watch.

You might wonder what Blake is doing here....he's spinning the ball on his finger using the floor. He taught all his teammates this trick during Saturday's game.

He SHOOTS....He SCORES!!

He SHOOTS...He SCORES again!!

This is the start of the game...the jump ball....lucky for Blake the little girl didn't know what was going on either as she was a foot taller than him.

Bringing the ball down the court...

Saturday afternoon was Brett's last football game of the season..the Championsip Bowl Game.

The kickoff...Brett's in the middle.

He RUNS....He SCORES!!

Brett, the holder, for JD, the kicker, for the extra point.

Running through the parent tunnel after their victory!! Brett giving the KSU defense motto...Lynch Mob.

The Knights ended their season 8-0!! It was such a fun season with a great group of kids and coaches. We finished the season with a party Sunday afternoon. The kids received their first place medals and a video of clips from the season. Each coach took 5 kids to talk about and Coach Aaron found a bible verse that he thought best described them. It was a great party and a great way to end the season. Can't wait for next year.

After the football party it was off to The Alley where the boys had invited some friends for a bowling birthday party. Turns out the boys birthdays really do fall at a busy time of year as a lot of their friends were busy with finishing up football games. However they got lots of bowling in and still had a good time.

Last but not least....did anyone else feel the earthquake Saturday night. I sure did and for a moment thought I was going a little crazy. Thank goodness for facebook as everyone started talking about it. I felt another aftershock on Monday evening too. CRAZY!! However this is Kansas and anything is possible I guess.

All in all it was a great weekend just very busy. This weekend seems to slow a little with KSU football on Saturday and closing up the lakehouse for the season.
