High Flying Week-end

This week-end, we saw lots of high flying......

...along with some good defense....

....and a little bit of ruckus....
...that caused some turnovers...

...which turned into some easy lay-ups.

Rocky also had a high-flying tournament....but I didn't get any good pics of him.
He did well and was responsible for those 4 points at the beginning of the game....I just didn't get any good action shots.

The high flying didn't end on the basketball court.....we finally had an opportunity to try out Nacho's new birthday present....

...a tiger jet kite!!!

More high flying....

...as spring-like temps can get us jumping for joy!

Block Party

A birthday gift of blocks from Grandpa and Grandma H.....

...plus a block of time....plus creative minds not having a mental block.........

...equals lots of fun....especially the knocking down part!

Dino-Mite Days

Nacho had a pre-birthday party with Grandma Jo and Grandpa Wes a few days before his actual birthday........

....it started the "dinosaur" theme that carried over to his birthday.....

...on Friday, March 2.  Nacho loves dinosaurs, so what better way to celebrate his birthday than by going to see "Sue"....the most complete set of bones of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.



Nacho was able to celebrate with grandparents again....this time it was with Grandma H. and....



....Grandpa H.

We thoroughly explored the dinosaur area of the museum....

....and breezed by a few other exhibits that were fun and interesting.  There are so many exhibits to look at, but we didn't take the time to see them all.........

.....and Ky wasn't with us, so we will have to go back and visit this wonderful museum again!

The main focus of the quick trip was Sue, the T. Rex.  Nacho went to his first
3-D movie that feautred Sue and how she was dug up and brought to the museum.

Nacho had his new dinosaur umbrella along....

...which he received that morning.....

....but didn't necessarily need it....

...the exact moment that we walked....

...from the museum back to the suburban.

Other presents awaited him once he got home....

...which included a new glove and ball...

...a dinosaur game....

...and creature power suits.....

...which he received two of.......because there are two Kratt Brothers and playing Wild Kratts with a friend is really fun!

Nacho would always break out into a smile.....

......whenever we wished him "Happy Birthday".....and we wished him many "Happy Birthdays" all day long.  It was worth it to see him smile so much!

The day ended with a snowstorm.....Nacho was born during a blizzard, so it seemed right to have snow on his birthday.  The snow didn't stop the basketball tournament that Moe and Rocky were in, so we were able to go to two games to top off the birthday night!

Sharing a dinosaur birthday with a five year old was very special.  Thank-you Nacho for all the fun!

Happy Birthday, Nacho

A 'dino'-mite boy having a 'dino'-mite day!
We Love You!

Tooting Their Own Horns



This art project....

......turned into these cute little whistles.

Can you almost hear....

....the monotone notes being blown out?!!
At least they aren't very loud!

Rocky's Snowball Fun

SnOw Much Help

We received fresh, new snow last night that came down from the sky in some of the biggest flakes I have ever seen.

I am happy to say that I have plenty of help around here.....

...to clear the snow....

....off the sidewalk and driveway....

......or.......

....do I?
Have a wonderful week-end....I know we will.....we have grandparents coming!!!
(Moe was just having a good time...he is actually a very good shoveler!)
