Weekend Wrap-Up

 We've been having a great break! Here's what we've been up to.

Kael helped Kase with some lifts at Trail Point! We are loving having our membership here again and I love that this is something the boys can do together!

Kase is loving his new socks, shoes, shorts, shirt and basketball. 

We went ice skating with my fam! A quick stop at a cute bakery before time was fun. 

We were missing Tyson but I love how many of us were available to go! The cousins always have so much fun together. 

Thankful for my sisters! Love them.

Love that my mom and dad went along and my mom got so many great pictures. 

These two are the best. 

His hair looked so red this day! We were all commenting on how amazing it looked.

New 'fit. Shoes, jacket, pants.  He took off a little early to go visit his girlfriend in Norwalk.

That afternoon Kase played at a friend's house then went to a hockey game with his buddies- so fun!

We went bowling on Friday night.  We had made reservations a looooong time ago but when the day came we really weren't sure who all was available/interested in going and at the last minute everything fell into place and we all made it and the kids each brought their significant other/best friend. We had the BEST time.  There was live music going on too! Later Kase, Asher, Kael and Emma played in the arcade too.  Fun.

Kase went to the Brody Brecht pitching camp in town.  Later we got a couple messages from the Ankeny head coach saying what a nice job Kase did at camp- not just his skills but also being willing to try new things and be very coachable.  Proud of my little buddy.

On the 30th Kylee had a long run with a friend- they sat in the hot tub and hung out for awhile and later went out for a fancy dinner with another friend. Kael went to the gym with a friend and also the boys all went to the batting cages. 

NYE I went to the mall with Kylee.  Kent, Kylee and Kael had also gone to Trail Point earlier in the day. We waivered on plans all day and at the last minute decided to let a couple of Kase's friends stay over, Garrett came over and the Rineharts and some of their kids' friends too.  We always have a great time with that group and Kael hung out for a little bit then had plans with his friends. 

We played games, Kylee made fancy mocktails and the kids played pickleball and FortNite and ran to the park for a bit. 

Right before the New Year Kase decided he wanted a brisket mac and cheese toasted sandwich because we had made brisket earlier and he remembered the sandwich he'd had at the state fair.  Ha. 

We lasted until midnight! New Year's Day everyone slept in and then we watched the Hawkeyes. Terrible game but we had a fun day anyways. Kent and Kael went on a long walk and stopped at Keith and Cindy's for awhile. Kase played with friends all day.  Kylee went for a run then to Garrett's . Can't believe we only have one day left of break!
