February 2017

For only having 28 days, we sure packed a lot into February this year. Hubs and Maga had left to Mexico Jan30, and Monday, Feb 6 was when we were all reunited. Thanks to Cal and K8 for making the banner! Landon's "homecoming" was on the 12th and we set up the chocolate fountain, had chicken salad croissants and saw a lot of family and friends. What else was going on?

• Basketball of course ... Landon was able to see Cal play in his final regular games. CHHS were region champs (tied w/B) and the other boys wrapped up their seasons as State started for Varsity. I stayed busy making muvees of all the highlights.
• Birthday Boy ... Callahan got cake! I think there were actually three, as I'd made a lemon jello cake, picked up a red velvet, and then Maga brought over ice cream cake.
• Smokin Stuff ... the basketball team has parents provide dinner for the boys before home games, and Grayson did ribs for the whole crew! That was a LOT of ribs. He also smoked brisket and keeps us fat and happy all the time!
• Eating Out ... We had a birthday dinner at Olive Garden to celebrate Callahan. We took a family trip to Kneaders for breakfast and met up with the Varsity basketball team there! Maga took the adults to "The 5 Alls". 
• Injuries ... Coop was playing football with friends and got a whopper of a black eye. It took a while to heal and turned some interesting colors along the way. The picture of Gray's head above isn't an ouch, but an oops; a missed spot after a haircut. He didn't realize it until he was at work and had to run to a salon to have them fix his home haircut (he is usually fine!) Jen's car tire got an ouchie too ... screw in the wheel, but it was able to be patched.
• Holidays ... if you call the Superbowl a holiday. Coop watched it at home, but Gray/Landon were in Mexico, and Cal was working at KFC. I made football cookies though. Valentine's Day too, We made a little basketball court box for Colton.

Here's the one second every day ...

I think that's February 2017 in a nutshell ... nice to have everyone home again!
