One season ends and another begins

Riley's basketball season is over. Dylan's baseball season is about to start.


Here's some pictures from the final basketball practice. They had a short time of "practice" and then the kids vs. parents/siblings game.


There are also pictures from his last game. Riley's team played one of his best buddies team and they just happen to be in the same class at school - so they invited their teacher and she came. So fun!


Riley explaining his way out of something with coach and dad.

Umm...not really sure what they were up to here...

Beautiful Sky

Last week I went to walk/jog one evening. I quickly called back home to tell Dylan he should try to get some shots of the sky. The sun was setting and had amazing shades of pink, yellow and blue all throughout.

(He's been taking lots of random shots so that he can enter the Reflections contest next year - no matter what the theme is...he should have something that fits it.)

Anyway...here's a couple of his pictures. Enjoy

I got a little creative :)

I was blog surfing and landed on Tip Junkie. I saw what looked like an easy and affordable craft idea for a Valentine's Day teacher gift.

And...I did it! Customized hand sanitizer dispensers.

One is for Riley's teacher, one is for the teacher that he rotates to for math and one for his speech teacher (from which he got dismissed earlier this week since he has learned strategies to control his stutter).

Look...
