Go Dubba-Tee!

My son is an avid sports lover. 
And I mean AVID to it's greatest extreem! 

He loves any and all sports and spends the majority of his time involved in such activities.  If you question my sincerity at all, just ask someone who spends any amount of time with us and they will affirm my validity.  
He loves basketball and football and baseball and golf and soccer and frisbee and I'm sure if he knew about lacross, he would love it as well! 
In our house, we wake up to sporting talk and activities and we go to sleep at night to the same. We read books about sports, we have the Harlem Globe Trotters Pamphlet memorized and own more balls than a school gym class!  
We watch football and basketball on t.v. and have even resorted to YouTube when desperate times call for desperate measures.
 --Most basketball videos are put to not-so-lovely rap music, be warned.--
It is sports insanity at its worst! 
We eat, breathe and dream about sports.
I know he dreams about such because ba-ket-ball, tech-ee-tech football and Go Noah Go are common phrases to hear over my baby monitor at three in the morning! 
He sleeps with a football and basketball pillow and often our friend, frisbee, ends up in the bed as well.
You get the point.

So, while Brad was out of town this weekend my dad was so kind to treat us to a Division 2 college basketball game. 

As you can imagine, we Noah loves these events...
 



And of course, youknowwho enjoyed the game in style!


As I've been writing, Noah is in the adjacent room chanting "Go Dubba Tee, Go Dubba Tee!"

Thank you Dad for a wonderful time and a memorable ba-ket-ball game! We love you!

p.s. Noah has the same obsession with music. Let's just say he has a very passionate
 personality! 
Maybe we can get to that another time :)

p.s.s. I get to go on a date tonight. We previously had other plans, but Brad insisted that since we already had a sitter, he was in need of some "Ash" time.  Isn't he great! And he's right. We could use some uninterrupted time together. I am so excited! Although, wouldn't you know, I happened to refrain from a shower today in hopes of accomplishing more. Oh well, I may not look great, but I'll try my best to be good company!

Oh my goodness....Kayt is a d o r a b l e. I think her eyes look a lot like Brad's mom in that picture. What a cutie pie!!! And that's fun that Noah's into sports that much...Luke will throw a ball around, but he's more of a bookworm than anything else! All he EVER wants to do is read books, just like me when I was little. Keith is patiently waiting for the sports interest to kick in.

YEAH!! (Insert mental image of me doing the happy dance here!!) I was wondering if you guys had a blog and I had already determined that if you did not, you needed one!! This totally made my day (well it is only 8:30 so there is still alot of day left, but I am pumped). Oh and yes I realize that I am a nerd for stealing your picture and putting it up there, but too many blogs without pictures are boring. See you tonight.

Your kids are so beautiful!!! Kayt is gorgeous!!!!! And Noah is the cutest little thing! I can just imagine him at that game! So... let's plan on a Thursday either this week or next, you wanna? I'll bring Ethan and hopefully get Britt to hang out at home with Zayne for a couple hours.
