My weekly update...

Mckenna had another basketball game last night. I was very pleased. Much improved. She is a very good defensive player. She stole the ball a couple of times, however by stealing I mean swatting it out of the opponents hands so that her team member can get it. I told her to grab the ball when you steal it like that and she said, "Mom...but I have teammates who need to get the ball." How could I argue with that, no one wants a ball hog!! She also boxes out quite well, in one point she had her girl boxed out to get the defensive rebound and had the ball right between her feet and let her teammates get it while she just looked at it there. I think she might be afraid of being mobbed and so won't touch the ball!! The family basketball practice must continue!!! Mckenna is going on a field trip to the George Bush Library today. I have to admit I thought that was not the funnest or coolest field trip for a first grader but I found out yesterday that they are going there by invitation only to be read to by the former first lady Barbara Bush. That is pretty cool, I wish I could have gone. I tried to explain to her the signifigance of this magnificent woman, I don't think she got it though. I told her that when she starts learing about history in school she will in no doubt be seeing this woman in her books. Still, I don't think she was impressed. Hopefully someday she will be. Or maybe I am just easily impressed I don't know?

Luke spent some time yesterday with his new found "best buddy" Colton. They are soooo cute together, same personalities, so cute. Luke is still addicted to his video game I would take a picture of him playing, which is really funny anyways, but I can't get him to put pants on when we are home. Like shoes they just come off when we get in the house, so I won't be posting pics of my son in his undies. (Even though little boys in their undies are the cutest things EVER!!)

As for my sweet baby Mia, she is so kissable!! I love dressing her and putting bows (okay head wraps, we don't have hair) in her hair! She is cooing a lot and we have some great conversations! She has also found her hands. We have found her sucking her fingers or thumb on numerous occasions... so cute!! She is working hard on trying to reach out and grab things, she is getting better each day! She isn't a studier but it is pretty cute when she stares at her hands, she knows they are there but will only study them once in a while. I just love these baby stages and am so sad the she is growing up so fast. I tell her that she isn't to sit up until she is about 1 then she isn't to walk or crawl at least until 2 or 3 years and then talking, yeah she can't do that until she is 21!!! Still, she is like my other two and aren't listening very well!!!
