Happy New Year everyone! So far 2009 has consisted of 2 things: snow & basketball!! It's been snowing everyday for about 7 days straight now and we've officially had our first big snow storm of the year. I'm not going to lie the older I get the more I enjoy the snow, I think it might be because winter doesn't feel like it lasts a decade anymore! It could also be because my wonderful husband gets up every morning to shovel if necessary and brush of my car & start it for me so it's nice in warm when I leave for work! Lexie I think has mixed feelings about the snow, she won't go into the back yard to pee (she walks out the door, goes, and then wants right back in) but she didn't seem to mind chasing Mommy around in the snow that was taller than she is!!

The other thing that we've had plenty of since the start of the new year is BASKETBALL! I do admit that I have been somewhat lax in my taping duties, but I got back on the ball this weekend so here's some updates from the weekend:

Lutheran West v. Brooklyn, 62-43

James played a great game unfortunately I forgot to charge the camera so this is the only footage I got before the battery died. Luckily I was able to grab a shot of the final score!

Nuggets v. Suns, 28-26

Basically all that we can say about Josh's game is that he's pretty much a rock star! I of course was not filming during the most amazing moment of the game when Josh launched a buzzer beater from almost half court and... NOTHING BUT NET!!! You would have thought we were at the Q the way that people were freaking out, it was totally awesome! I did however get some great film of his left handed layup, who has a left handed layup in 4th grade????

I also thought it might be fun to give you a glimpse of Dad at Josh's game, this is a particularly funny clip because he is calling the little boy from Africa by his twin brothers name and so the kid is totally ignoring him and Dad is getting so irritated, then the twin comes back from getting a drink and tells Dad he's calling his brother by the wrong name and Dad argues with him for a minute! Classic Bobbo! Totally hilarious! I will say this about Josh's games, they are never short on the entertainment factor!

Last but not least,

St. Paul V. St. John Nottingham

Unfortunately St. Paul lost by a couple of points, this was a VERY close game between the 2 best teams in the conference. I don't know the final score because Kirk & I had to leave a few minutes before the game ended for a wake. Chris played a GREAT game despite being double teamed at all times, we were actually sitting behind Bethany's coach who told his players that he didn't want Chris to get a shot off all game. Well he still got some great shots off, but not much was falling; well Chris was falling, please see the very scary video below where you can watch as Chris goes up for a shot as the boys from Bethany double team him and he comes down and slams into the court flat on his back. He has some serious bruising from this fall! All in all it was a great game and St. Paul just came up a little short.

Well that's all for now sports fans, check back on Monday for more Basketball!

Stay tuned, I'll have more soon!
