Hoops Levin

Today was Ryan's first basketball game at CCV. He did awesome! It was adorable to watch him run up and down the court at full speed then slide when he got to the basket. Kind of like basketball meets baseball. Even though the basket is lower, it's still surprisingly high for little ones. Luckily Tyler got a portable backboard for his birthday so the boys can practice at home. Ryan loves that daddy is one of his coaches - yea dad! I have a feeling daddy's going to be very busy with three little boys playing sports. Ethan watched from the sidelines with Tyler, grandma and I and cheering the Sun Sharks on to victory (or so we think). We celebrated Ryan's first game with a Reese's and M&M Blizzard. Go Ry!!

Old MacDonald's Pumpkin Patch

Today all three boys and I went to Old MacDonald's Pumpkin Patch with Ryan's class for a field trip. We had a great time picking pumpkins, taking a hay ride and having a picnic in the shade. Most of all I think the boys loved running through the hay maze. When they got stuck they just stepped over the "wall" to get where they wanted.

One of Ryan's best pals Luke was there with his mom and younger brother and the boys played together all morning. Ethan loved his first hay ride! I couldn't tell if he loved the motion of the ride or seeing the horses pull us. He babbled with delight as we rode through the desert in the blazing sun. When it came time to pick pumpkins, the boys found a small one perfect for little E. He was so happy to hold it and play with it. Probably because it resembled a ball. He made it clear he did not want to part with his little pumpkin when I set it down. What a fun day with my boys!
