March Madness

March Madness is over for our family. Levi took 2nd in the Brown family competition with 80 points. He was only behind Neal who obviously has too much time at work. This is Neals third win, but Levi is already plotting to beat him next year. What a fun family tradition this has become. Thanks mom.

Soccer!!!

Aaron has a media pass so he'll go to all (or most) of the games. He will be interviewing the Real team after the games this year.

This was the first game of the season and first at the new stadium for the rest of the family. Go Real. The players came up for pictures after the game. I don't know any of their names except Kyle Beckerman (he's easy to spot with dreds), but they're still fun pics.

Is it summer? Spring? No, it's still winter, but we had a few great days outside.

Judd is 1

Judd didn't hesitate for a second when we put cake in front of him he started eating and eating and eating... yummy!

He got a ride on fire truck from the fam. He loves it, he just smiles and thinks he's big. His siblings like it too, a little too much sometimes. He likes it when they push him, but he doesn't like so much speed (got that from his dad). It's a good thing he's so patient.

Claire is 3

We revised Levi's ice cream cake for Claire by scaping off the blue frosting and adding yellow.

Her favorite new doll (SaraLyn) and more gummi bears and sprinkles. We won't be able to get away with that for very long, but she was thrilled. We still ended up throwing cake away.

Levi is 5

Happy birthday Levi!!! Ever since we went to Coldstone Levi has been begging for an ice cream cake. Batman with blue frosting gummi bears and sprinkles. So, that's what he got. But we're too cheap to buy it from there so Aaron made it. He did an awesome job don't you think.

Here's the party crowd. He wanted to invite everyone...This is what we got. The boys from his preschool group, 7 of the nieghborhood friends, and at the last minue Federkeils came up for the weekend (to shop) so we had 2 cousins and 2 more adults to help. What fun :)

The kids came in their pajamas for breakfast(pancakes with whipped cream, chocolate chips, sprinkles, strawberries, and syrup) at dinnertime.

After going through the line up twice and not even close to breaking the pinata Aaron and Gabe broke it with their hands and sprinkled the candy over their heads.

Gage attacks the pinata.

home teachers

Gage, Levi, and Claire had a great time playing home teachers last Sunday (not even the last week of the month). Knock knock... It's the home teachers! Claire would open the door and say, "nice to meet you". The boys came in and then they started fighting about who was giving the lesson. :)
