Jacob started Basketball season, and loving every minute of it.  We had to make a decision if we were going to put him in wrestling or basketball since it is all at the same time. I really think we made the right choice because he LOVES it. I never hear "I don't want to go!" Last year in wrestling I heard that all the time!! We are really lucky because Santos' Dad is the Coach and asked for Jacob to be on his team. Even though Jacob is a 2nd grader they made an exception and let him. He is on a team with all 3rd graders and having the best time!!

Jacob's team was invited to go to the Kelso High School Basketball game to meet the Coach and Varsity team.......Jacob was so excited to see Sophia was one of the Cheerleaders.  He thought he was the big man on campus because they made such a big deal about him!!

Introducing the BEACON HILL BULLDOGS!!!!

Jacob, Santos, Xavier, Colton and Marco

Jacob's first basketball game ever!!!

I seriously don't know what in the world happens to me at Jacob's sporting events but I turn in to this crazy screaming soccer mom......

Frank told me I was going to be kicked out of the gym~not only do I scream like a mad woman, when the other team scores I couldn't help but cheer for them too!! One boy made a three point shot that looked really hard so I cheered for him! I guess cheering for the other team is not allowed.....shesh did I get some crazy looks from other parents....but in my defense....it looked like a reallllllly hard basket to make and I was happy for him!!

Jacob, Marco, Santos, Buddy and Xavier

You don't raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes

Christmas and New Year

Things have been so crazy with the holidays, I haven't been able to take the time to sit and update my blog....I have been taking so many pictures it was really hard to pick just a few to sum up the holidays.

Santa brought Jacob the Paper Jams that he has been wanting....

and Nana and Grandpa bought him a psp and some rocking pj's.....

Tom Elijah Zion and Jacob all had these matching pjs......I literally had to peel them off of him...he wants to wear them EVERY NIGHT.....

the psp was his favorite present....of course because Nana and Grandpa bought it for him

Christmas Day we went up to Chris' house and Anna and I played games with the girls and Christopher

Sophia, Lindsey and Ashley.....I have known these girls since they were little....

aren't they just gorgeous? and they are as pretty on the inside as the outside

Brandon and Jacob......Jacob thinks Brandon is THE coolest guy ever...and Brandon is sooo sweet and patient with him

New Years Eve we went down to Long Beach......it was clam digging season...wait??? is THERE a clam digging season? I think I made that up.......it was really just an excuse for me to buy cute rain boots that I didn't get wet.....and to wear a cute hat

I loooove this lighthouse...
