Love and Basketball


I have a million things to be doing right now, but I decided to do a blog instead. I know my priorities. I don't really know why I'm doing a blog because I am so tired and not all mentally there, therefore, my whit and humor may not be at it's best, but that might not even make a difference. You know how it goes, sometimes I think I'm really funny, when in reality I'm not, yada yada yada. Okay, on to the post.

I really just wanted to talk about Carl. I love him. It's true. He works so hard to put food on our table and clothes on our back and for that I am so grateful. Another thing I love about him, and he will probably be in shock that I put this, is his love for basketball. He LOVES it. He loves to play it, to watch it...everything having to do with basketball. He plays on city leagues and church ball. It's one of his favorite things. I used to give him such a hard time about all the time he spent playing, because he should be spending it with me, dang it! But I have learned in my old age that he needs that escape to let loose and burn off steam. I'm glad he has something(other than me, of course) that he loves to invest time in. Plus, I have really learned to love March Madness and I'm not too shabby at picking my bracket. Just don't ever pick Wisconsin to win it all. They'll let you down every time.

Our friend, Andy, invited Carl to play with his team last week, so I took the liberty of documenting his love of the game.

Carl attacking!

This is a shot of two guys fighting. It almost got physical, but it didn't. Just a bunch of yelling in faces. Gotta love city leagues.


Amylyn, me and Hayden rooting the guys on.

Crazy kid.

I threw those last couple in because they make me laugh. I love my little family.

Yay for basketball!! It was so fun having you guys down here. Are you going to come to the next game? I wasn't sure cause it was at 8:30 and I know that is Hayden's bedtime. Oh ya know, just give her a 4 hour nap and we will be partying until midnight ;) We love you guys!!!

I'm glad that Carl loves basketball. You love Carl. Carl loves you. Hayden loves Carl. I love Hayden so that does that mean that I love basketball too. Those pictures(of Hayden)are adorable.

Just don't tell Carl that Brett and I are going to the NBA All-Star Jam Session which is here in Phoenix this year. I think he would be too jealous! :)

you have the cutest baby! And I had to learn the same thing too - I think we're both happier if we can have a little "me" time developing out talents!
