Watching Levi play basketball

 they won their last game of the season, good job Levi!

 Noah's team ended up fourth in the league for the year

 Once a week the world looked like this in February...

 Happy 14th birthday Noah! Yes, he at all those donuts in one sitting!

 Levi got picked to play basketball musical chairs for a fundraiser at a HS BB game

 he didn't win the game, but he got a pie for participating!

 Noah had friends over for his birthday

 while they played basketball, Ben was working in a grain bin on soy beans

 Then I took the crew of boys out to eat before taking them home.

 Ben and I went to see the 80's cover band Hairball -what an experience!

 Klay came over after the boys got out of school early due to all the snow and they worked together to build a giant snowman!

 Fun at a HS basketball game

 MCC centennial event that I helped organize - what a way to end the month.
