Suki's Haunted House

We watched the movie Hotel Transylvania for a family movie night. They next day, Kayden and Josh decided that they needed to make Suki (our dog) her own haunted house. I must say, it was very creative.

Josh and Kayden at the entrance of the haunted house.

 

 The sign at the entrance warning you of what lies ahead.  It reads: "Beware Sookies Haunted House!"

The haunted house even was equipped with it's own spider hanging from a web.

 

Kayden decided he wanted to take a turn touring the haunted house.  He doesn't look too scared.

Josh showing off their creation.

Kayden tunneling his way through the exit.

Suki getting ready to take a tour of her new place.  She looks scared, no?

There she goes through the first tunnel.

The boys had a great time creating and playing in and on Suki's haunted house.  It proved to be a great start to their day!

Basketball Season 2013

I love basketball season. I love watching my boys play.  It was a great season and the boys did well and they learned a lot.

McKay played for Jr. Jazz in Cedar Hills.  It was a new league for us.  McKay was on a team where he didn't know anyone.  He did well and he was the team's top rebounder and he also had some good swats during the season.

A little game action for McKay.

Josh played in two leagues this year.  One league played before Christmas and his Jr. Jazz league played after Christmas.  For how much Josh loves basketball (and I mean he REALLY loves it), it was perfect.  He was able to play on a team with most of the kids that are on his soccer team.

Josh was the scoring machine.  Then once he thought he scored enough points, he started passing the ball around more so that the rest of his team could score.  Josh sure knows how to handle the ball and was able to easily lay it up and in.  We were given lots of complements about his basketball skills.

Jaxon played in a new league this year too.  It is the Bantam league and is a more competitive league.  Jaxon had a great coach (that is a friend of ours) and he learned a lot.  Above he is at the free throw line during the championship semi-finals.

Jaxon on defense (right under the basket).

Jaxon with his team huddling up during a timeout.  Jaxon's team went all the way to the championship.  They had a heartbreak loss in double overtime.  Jaxon loved the league and is hoping to play with his same team again next year.

First Tooth Lost

He is my baby you know. Sometimes it is unbelievable when he makes a milestone such as losing a tooth.  Isn't he too young for this stuff?  Well, his tooth needed to come out.  It was quite wiggly and his permanent tooth was trying to come in behind it.  Last night Jeremy asked Kayden if he could look at his wiggly tooth.  Kayden kept yelling, "Don't touch it!  Don't touch it!"  Finally, after Jeremy reminded him that he IS a dentist and that he does this kind of stuff every day, Kayden consented to let Jeremy take a look.  They both decided to get some floss and pull the tooth out.  Once the floss was looped around the tooth it came out with a small tug.

One tooth gone.  He won't look like this for long though as his permanent tooth is already coming in.

Kayden is happy his tooth is out so that the Tooth Fairy could come and visit him during the night.  (He is holding his tooth, but you can't really see it.)  The Tooth Fairy took his tooth and left him $1.00 under his pillow.  Another milestone gone.

Studio C

There is this great show on BYUTV called Studio C.  It is a sketch comedy show that is hilarious and clean.  We went to a live taping last night down on BYU campus and had a great time.  We had to show up quite early to make sure we got a seat in the studio so we played cards while we waited in line.  I also had to talk McKay and Jaxon into taking a photo with the life-size cardboard cut-out of Mallory:

They were embarrassed and blushing--mostly because I told them to pretend to kiss her.  They refused.

Here are Jaxon and McKay inside Studio C waiting for the taping to begin.

Watching the taping was really fun.  We were laughing so hard we were crying.  It was a great night.  We are hoping that we can go again sometime soon.  If you haven't had a chance to check out Studio C on TV, I highly recommend it.  It airs every Monday night on BYUTV and the new season will begin April 1.
