Blake has requested that he be called "The Wizard". His exact words were, "Mom, do you think you guys could start calling me The Wizard since I am so good at video games?" And I was all, "Sure". So from now until he changes his mind, that is what we call him.

Saturday was another basketball filled day. Griff had games in Ogden, starting at 8:15. They won 2 and lost 2. The Wizard had a game, and they won. He also had a birthday party. Later that night Ben took me out for Sushi, and as always it was delish! After we went to Cold Stone. My new fave is Strawberry Blond with cheesecake ice cream.

Griff and Blake had games again today. I couldn't make Blake's , but Ben and Griffen said he did really well. Griff was totally into his game. He scored 10, made a kid cry, and fouled out.

Blake was looking in the mirror brushing his teeth and says:

"AUUGGHHHHRRRAAA! I don't want to go to school!"
moi: "Why?"
Blake: "Because my face!"
moi: "What's wrong with your face, it's adorable!"
Blake: "Well, not anymore! I got a scratch on it!"

Griff left with a binder full of paper, and I said, "What are you doing with that?" he said, "I'm working on a book that I'm hoping to get published." Allllllrighty-then!

DDR

I didn't get to the gym today so me and the boys decided to pull out the dance pads. I forgot how much I heart that game. Griff tries to master one song at a time, and he gets pretty good after a few tries. Blake, well he tries his best. I am (no suprise) still the MASTA!

Blake "scored a hoop" and this is

his smile for when he does that:

He is so happy and proud of himself

that he can hardly stand it!

This is the face Griff makes when

he scores a basket. Not a hint of a smile,

cuz he's too cool for school!

Griff's Game

Here are some pics from Griffen's game a couple weeks ago.

My camera was taking them dark for some reason. grrrr.

Blake's Second Ever Basketball Game

Blake had his 2nd game of the season. The little boys are fun to watch. They almost never dribble, or they stop, dribble, run, stop, dribble, run. Blake's team is pretty good and they have won both games so far. Griff had 4 games today. I couldn't make it to the first 3, but Ben said he did really well. The last game of the day I thought he would be way tired, but he rocked it! (I forgot my camera, but I'm sure there will be other games) Once they are bigger and get the dynamics of the game, it makes it more tolerable. (for me) Griff is also getting more aggressive, and it's funny to watch those older boys trash talk each other and get all mad. grrrrrrrr.

Blake lost another tooth at school. I think this is supposed

to be a necklace, but he thinks it's much more

awesomer as a headband cuz it gives him the power.

I was making fried rice with ham in it and Blake was helping me. By helping I mean eating the ham faster than I could cut it. I had "good" ham in one pile and "bad" ham in the other. He went to eat one of the bad ones and this is the conversation that ensued;

Me: Don't eat that! It's all fatty.
Blake: Why can't you eat the fatty ones?
Me: Because it's disgusting, you don't want to eat fat because then the fat just gets in your body.
Blake: Oh, so, that's what Dad did.

:)

The stars in the planets have aligned

because.......

THIS. NEVER. HAPPENS.

SLEDDING

We took the boys sledding at the

park and they had a blast!

Cookies For Santa

They're all about it the first 5 minutes in, then I spend the next 2 hours alone in the kitchen.

Blake loves playing in

the snow. And eating it.


Blake lay there like a slug.......

Griff WILL NOT wear pants. EVER.

Unless I physically attack him and

make him. So this is his snow

shoveling attire.

After work yesterday, I took the boys to Hallmark to get their ornaments. They took forever to decide, and they were more interested in the Webkinz. They had little bird Webkinz that they wanted pretty bad, so I said they could get them, but they had to seriously work for them when they got home. So we left with 1 ornament, (one is coming from another store), 4 Christmas mugs, and 2 Webkinz. Then we were off to Wal-Mart for food for dinner. I figured it would be the only night we could get our Christmas dinner in. We always have steak, shrimp, baked potatoes, corn, salad (with special ranch) and rolls. By the time we got back it was after 6:30, and I thought everyone would survive on cereal, but tradition is tradition. Blake would only eat steak and salad, because he claims he is allergic to shrimp. Griff gave him one of his and Blake threw it back at him and it landed in his milk. This was the beginning of the end.

Griff didn't feel like eating because he lost the tag that was on his Webkinz. I always tell them to leave them on until after they have adopted them, but for some reason, they think I am a retard and dont't know what I'm talking about. So, everyone is looking for this little tag. I mean EVERYWHERE! Under the couch, rugs, stove, beds, in the washing machine, in all pockets, in the car, outside, in drawers, it was ridiculous. Griff then insists it's under the fridge. Ben pulls the fridge out, and I about died. So now, of course, I have to clean under there. We found lots of stuff, but no tag.

I had him go shower, think about it and maybe the next place to look would come to him. It didn't. We told him it was just time to move on, and maybe we would find it later. After Ben went to bed, the boys and I wrapped his present and put it under the tree. Blake picked up the big snow globe thing I have under there and VOILA, the tag! I don't think Griff will be as excited for anything he is getting for Christmas, as excited he was to have that tag.

Every Saturday before Christmas my

Grandma and Grandpa Hunsaker have their

Christmas party. This year we started off at their house

playing games, and visiting with Santa.

No matter how big you are,

you're not too big for Santa's lap.

I don't think Griffen knows

what to think about the big guy.

Before the party Blake said he would be

able to tell if this was the real Santa or not.

I asked him how he would know, and he told me the real

Santa has a red nose. Looks like the real Santa to me.


After the festivities at their house,

they take everyone to Maddox to eat.

This is my Auntie Sandra and Uncle Rick.

Casey and Brittni.


Blake was determined to eat ALL of this.

My dad, mom, Blake, Amber,

Chantell, Dustin, Grandma Babe, Sandra, Rick,

Jordon, Griffen, Ben and Ashley.

This is us with my Grandparents.

They're the best!
