Karenza Reading (or trying too)

Karenza trying to clear her throat and be serious about reading Cinderella to me. She is so funny! I don't know how this can't make anyone laugh! And I get to have this almost every night. Talk about refreshing.

Pictures of Randy Coaching

Here are a couple pictures of Randy's team. They are called Chaos. They won their consolation game today 50-10! So they took away Consolation champs again this tourney too. They just need to win that first game it seems like. Next weekend we have no basketball, just Easter. Then it's off to Grand Forks last weekend in March, and then Dickinson first weekend in April. Lots of basketball left so we'll see how they do. Have a great week!

Karenza Running

This is just a video of Karenza running at Randy's basketball game today. She is running with the sisters of the boys Randy coaches. They just love her, and so they are just running in the halls at the school. She seems to be telling them what to do.

Movie Weekend...

On Friday when Randy and I went and got Karenza from daycare I told him we should do something fun for her. She kind of had a bad week. Randy had been up and gone to work a couple mornings before she was up this week and she gets so sad when she doesn't get to see her daddy. There were a couple days I let her take her blanket to daycare. I don't usually let her, and she usually doesn't ask. But on Wednesday morning when I dropped her off she cried. She never cries when I leave her. When I was leaving I saw her blanket in the backseat of the Expedition and so I grabbed it and took it back into her. When I picked her up Wednesday night Cindy asked me if Randy was home this morning and I told her no. She said that's why she was crying because she hadn't seen her daddy. So on Friday Randy and I decided to take her to the movie Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who. It is such a cute movie, and Karenza loved it! We sat through the whole movie (no potty break or anything!). She had her popcorn and was happy as could be. At the end of the movie when everything worked out for everyone, and everyone was happy. The theatre was quiet, but Karenza clapped and cheered and people around us laughed. When we were walking out she thanked Randy and me for taking her to the best movie ever! So we made her day. Made me feel really good that she thanked me with out even asking. Yesterday, Randy had a basketball tournament at Horizon Middle School. Their first game was at 10AM. They lost by only 4 points. They were a head the whole game and then lost at the end due to some mental mistakes. Randy was frustrated, but I told him he just had to let it go and let it roll off his back. Was giving him his own advice he gives his boys! Then their next game was at 2PM and they won 62-19! So they play today at 12Pm for the Consolation Champs (again!). So we'll see how that goes. Karenza is getting so big, and is getting to listen really well. I took a bag with color books, crayons, barbies, fruit snacks, ect. She just sat by me and colored and played. I was able to keep defensive stats for Randy (as he made the kids this week in practice make goals for rebounds/blocks/assists/steals). I was able to keep them pretty close I guess. If I would stop talking to the parents I probably could be more accurate! ;o)

More Bathtime Singing

Another bath time tune. She is quiet at first, but then she really starts to sing and get "into it". You'll see what I mean when you see the video. She is really serious and means business!

Bathtime Singing...

Karenza was singing in the bath tub tonight so I asked her if I could get the camera, and of course she agreed. She is quite funny if you haven't already noticed. :o)

Basketball (Again...)

Tonight Randy had basketball league for himself, and Karenza and I haven't gone the last few weeks. He played at 7:15 so we decided to go. She was so excited to be able to see MaKya. Her daddy plays with Randy on the team. She had 5 barbie dolls ready to take with. I talked her down to 2 (one for her and one for MaKya). She had princess fruit snacks to take along as well. There are some pictures above of tonight of her warming up with Randy. She loves to just run on the court. Tonight during the game a guy came down and elbowed Randy right in the chin. His bottom tooth went all the way though his skin/bottom lip. It was bleeding like crazy, but he wouldn't let me take him to the ER. Being a guy I guess and trying to be tough. He said it didn't hurt. But we came home and I put ice on it and it seemed to stop for a little bit. Hopefully it will be fine. It looks really gross! He said that you only need stitches if its a big gouge. To me it looked like a gouge and if it didn't stop bleeding. His version or my version probably depends on who you listen too. I guess he'll be fine. Also, tonight after Karenza had been in bed for a while I went to check on her and above is a picture of her sleeping. I covered her up and put her legs the right way. If you look close you can see a barbie doll (actually Ryan from High School Musical Barbie Doll) in her bed with her. Silly girl.
