Basketball

This is another catch up post from the past couple of weekends. We've had a lot of family time since my Grandpa passed away, which has been great!

We got home from Punta Cana on Friday night and on Saturday morning Bishop had basketball--we went to that and then my parents and the Bormann's came over. We all went out to lunch (Convention Grill), which went pretty well. Just watch out--I learned you don't want to mess with my daughter and my mother while I'm there--I'm pretty protective of those 2! ;)

We then came back to our house and the kids played and we talked about the arrangements for my Grandpa.

Madelyn and Nora with their babies! 

After the funeral Bishop really wanted to go to the park--so Luke, Ryan and I took the kids to the park for a little bit. There was a ton of snow and we weren't all really that prepared, but it was fun to get some fresh air and burn a little energy outside! :)

 The kids and I spent the night in Owatonna the night of his funeral. On Friday I took the kids to visit my Grandma. She has Alzheimer's, but always loves seeing the kids!! The only good thing about Alzheimer's is she doesn't have to mourn the loss of her husband of 68 years!

Hugs for Great Grandma

She LOVES holding her "babies"!!

Such a sweet lady-I love her so much!

Nora wasn't as interested in sitting on her lap--but she did manage to give her a hug!

 My parents came up on Friday to watch the NRHEG girls play in the state tournament.  My mom is an alum of NRHEG.  They played Friday night.....won and played again in the championship game on Saturday afternoon. My parents came and spent the night at our house Friday night.

So--they came to watch Bishop's basketball game on Saturday morning.....along with Shelly and her kids. Ryan had to work, so he wasn't able to make it for Bishop's game.

Jack's absolute favorite person....NANA!

 After basketball we had lunch at our house and then got ready to go to the NRHEG championship game at 2pm!

 Luke wasn't feeling well, so he stayed home. The kids had a blast at the game....and playing together for part of it. NR girls one and it was fun to watch Carlie Wagner. She'll be going to the UofM next year, so it'll be fun to continue to watch her play.

Their favorite part of the game--POPCORN!

Madelyn and Shelly=beautiful!

Ha! I had to add this picture--she really was having a good time....

 Uncle Ryan is so good with the kids! He was entertaining all 3 of the big kids for awhile!

My favorite boy and I!

 The NRHEG mascot is a Panther and the older 3 kids were obsessed with him! It was fun!
