Tink at Gabe's first basketball game.

Noah, with his front tooth coming in.  What a handsome guy!

Two of my handsome man!!  I sure do love them!

Gabe taking a shot.

Gabe (in the middle) hustling back down the court.

Jujubee with her hat that her Grandma Smith got her for Christmas.  I love this cute face!

We had two basketball games today and this is how Toby was through most of both of them....he is a little vocal.  A nice vocal, but vocal.  Julie snapped this one.  :)

She also took this one.

Belle took this one and it is a little blurry, but I still like it.  I love how Toby is still watching the game while getting his picture taken.  :)
Gabe's team won 26 to 6.

Now onto Noah's game.  Here he is with the black basketball.

Waiting for his turn to play.  Isn't he a sweet little man!

Getting ready to go into the game.

He did good, needs to work on the focus a little, but we were very proud of him!

Belle practicing her dribbling.  Yes, she is in pajamas...No, she didn't wear them to bed, she changed into them that morning.  Don't try to figure it out...I don't.  :)



Toby watching the game. 

My love and I enjoying the game.  I sure do love this man.

With my sweet oldest son.  It was a great day.  Noahs team didn't win, but such is life.  We also got to have ice cream and when Toby asked Noah whether he wanted Vanilla or Chocolate, to which Noah answered, "Daddy, you know how I roll....chocolate."  He makes me laugh so much!

A Wednesday in the Life of the Smiths

Wednesdays have all of the sudden gotten very busy here.  Both girls have swimming and Noah has basketball practice. This is Gabe ready to start our busy afternoon.

We received our other blog in a book form and had such a sweet time looking through almost 300 pages of memories!

Gabe got a yo-yo in Kansas and has been our Master Yo-Yoer ever since.  :)  Takes it anywhere I let him.  Noah...well....being his crazy silly 7 year old self. 

Yes, he had a oreo before we left.

Tink getting ready to get in the water.

We got there an half an hour before her swim lessons time, because Julies Swim club starts then, so Belle warms up. 

Another boy was splashing.

Julie swimming hard in the other lanes.  She is the closest swimmer on the left.

Then I look back here and Belle is swimming under the water.  Like, really swimming.  Her first time.  She just decided to do it.  Her teacher wasn't there yet and she decided she was going to swim for "real".  Which she did.  This continued for the 20 minutes before her class.  Then she showed her teacher and it continued through most of class.  Her momma was very proud of her to say the least.  :)
I am so thankful that the Lord has given us the resources to do these fun extra things.  Have a wonderful Thursday!!!!
