"May" the force be with you
So Evan has been a Jedi/Star Wars fan for years. This picture was taken a couple of years ago. Tonight I was upstairs and the kids were sitting on the floor getting ready for bed, and this is the conversation I stumbled upon.
Evan: "Connor, is it March?"
Connor: "No, Evan, it's May."
Evan: "Oh yeah, that's right it's May 4th. It is now the season of Star Wars because 'May the Fourth' sounds just like, 'May the force be with you.'"
I about died laughing!!!! I wish I could have had it on video. Evan is ALWAYS coming up with creative one liners. He will keep us laughing for years! Thanks EVAN!

-he can whistle, and sing "we will rock you".....more like "we will bop boo"

-likes to dig in dirt and eat it
-loves the dog
-He is 26lbs and in 76th percentile for height- way to go buddy!!

March madness is comin' to town!
Okay....so the random photos of our fruit trees are there because my mom just took a pruning class and wanted to give me some tips. The plan was to prune on Saturday, but then it snow about 2 inches and was blowing somethin' fierce!
Let me see if I can update anyone who reads this. Connor and Evan are playing basketball. It's been pretty fun to watch them compete on a team. They have a lot of fun with their friends. They got their report cards and did AWESOME! Now the plan is to head to Chucky Cheese's where they earn free tokens for good grades! We will probably go when we head off track. Connor has been working on getting the family a free meal at Applebee's. Every time he receives 100% on his YPP tests he gets a certificate for a free kids meal. I think he has about 6 or 7. He's bummed that mom and dad don't get a free meal too. :)
Maya did mini cheer again. She loves to be the star of the show. She was the best performer in her age group. At 3yrs old she knew the routine and followed along great! All the cheerleaders were impressed! She likes to show us her cheer moves all the time. Way to go!! (At the game we sat by the pep band and Evan was eyeing the drum player with a Mohawk and said, "Mom, I think I want some drums for Christmas!" And began thrashing his head to the beat. That kid is too funny!)
Anyways....Isaac is walking along furniture. He is growing more teeth (four all together) and saying a few things like "uh oh" and he can sing "We will rock you!" We'll have to get it on tape so we have proof. It's pretty cute. The wonderful thing is that the kid has found a happy sleeping place!!!!!!!!! He would love to sleep with mom and dad, however, that is inconvenient and annoying. First we tried him in his pack-n-play in our closet. Nice and quiet and dark where no siblings could bother him. That got old because we wanted our closet back too. So now he is in the pack-n-play in with Maya in her room. Maya has to sleep on the top bunk in the boys room so she doesn't distract him, but it works!!! The kid LOVES his bed. WHAT A BLESSING!
I don't have too many funny stories. I am too tired from daylight savings and I need to get to bed. I am excited though, for MARCH MADNESS!!!!! The Lowders are all heading to town and we are going to the sweet sixteen and the elite eight! Jealous anyone....well, you should be. We know how to have a good time. Wish me luck on my bracket and send any tips my way. I'd really like to win because I am with all of this viscious competitors!!!
