Shopping, Basketball, and Sulphur Springs

Friday night Bailey went to spend the night with her Aunt Tamara. She really enjoys her time with her Aunts. So Greg and the boys and I headed to Grapevine Mills to eat some dinner and do some pre-Spring shopping. Jack got to have some ice cream for having a great week at school and mommy got some early spring shopping done for all three kids. Connor was just along for the ride. More and more we realize how lucky we truly are. Connor is such a happy, content baby. He smiles at everyone and laughs all the time. He was dog tired by the time we got home at 9:30 but still smiling until we dropped him into the bed.
Saturday morning started early. Aunt Gretchen picked Connor up at 7:30 and took him to Sulphur Springs. The rest of us were going to head up after Jack's basketball tournament. Since we only had Jack, Greg and I took him to breakfast. It was so fun to spend time with our oldest and really talk about school and friends with no interruptions. Greg and Jack then headed up to watch Garrison play basketball. Jack enjoyed cheering him on. That afternoon Jack had a game. Only 5 players showed up! Greg is his coach and we get really frustrated because no one calls when they are not going to be there. It made for a long game for those 5 tough boys. Needless to say, they lost, but the effort of those boys was amazing. Jack is so much fun to watch. He scored all the points his team made!!! He hustles and is in the other teams face the whole time. I really believe we may have found THAT SPORT. The one he is suppose to play. He loves everything he plays but is really gifted in basketball.
Mimi, Papa, Tamara, Emma, and Terry came to watch him and he was so proud!
Thanks guys for making him feel so special.
As soon as the game was over we headed out to Memaw's and G-Dads. I had missed my Connor all day and couldn't wait to see him. We had a great time as always and the kids enjoy time with Memaw so much. Greg is off Monday and he and Bailey and Connor stayed until Monday night. Jack and mommy headed back this afternoon. It was fun and strange to only have one child. One of the reasons for the trip other than playing with Memaw was for Greg and his dad to build a big media, playroom shelving unit for our playroom. I have been wanting this for a year now. Patience is not my strong suit, just ask Greg! I will post a pic when it is done. I can't wait.
Ok, back to Jack and mommy time. We had a fun ride home. Jack is usually so quiet because he can't get a word in with Bailey around. So it was fun to listen to him talk about sports, school, all the cities we passed, all the signs we passed, what he wanted to eat, friends, and many other things. I don't think we have talked that much in years. After we got home we had to watch the NBA All Star Game. He was hooting and hollering for Dirk and Josh Howard. He is already learning trash talk. He is yelling at the TV "You can't catch us now" "No one will beat the West" "Go... Dirrrrrk..." I loved our time together tonight Jack.
