Conner in his game against Torrey Pines!

Conner is #7 playing receiver on the end and almost runs it in but gets hit out!! His last game was last weekend in Arizona! We have a month reprieve before baseball starts!!

What did you say????????

A couple of days ago I noticed Crew was outside without shoes. (Nothing out of the ordinary!!!) He has had a cough and has been sick so I called him in and sat him down on the floor to get his shoes and socks on. He was kicking and not happy I interupted his play time. So I said" you will be sick for Christmas and you won't be able to play with your toys" He looked at me right in the face and said in an ever so soft voice...."idiot" I replied "what did you just say" he put his hands in the air and shrugged his shoulders and said" Mom....Mom.... idiot means I love you" and gave me the biggest hug!!!!! The only thing I could do is give him a hug back and say "I love you means I love you......not idiot!!!" Another day in the life of boys!!!!

Little sis, are you so proud of me????? Thanks for all of your help!! I love your guts!!!!
