Playoff Season Around Here

(Adam here)

I was working in my office the other day, and Solana was all up in my grill, as usual, so I gave her a pencil and paper to try to keep her distracted with something other than distracting me.  Next thing I know, she's drawn her first unassisted (recognizable) picture - of me!  Notice the nice round head, arms (with fingers), and lovely head of hair.  I feel so flattered.  I was totally impressed.

One of my primary duties as a father is teaching my kids to become fans of the most successful sports franchise of the last 15 freaking years - the team with the highest winning percentage over the last 15 years - the team with the greatest power forward of all time and the winningest player-coach combination of all time - the team that embodies a transcendent celestial form of basketball and sports management - yes, the San Antonio Spurs.
So we're starting early, and I take every chance I can to sap every ounce of Solana's attention span watching Spurs basketball on TV.  Now that the playoffs are here, we are in full Spurs mode, and the kids are getting into it perfectly.  I predict many years of continued fanaticism and completely unbiased recitation of Spurs greatness.
Shoot, just writing about this makes me happy, so if you scroll all the way through the photos, I'll leave you with a link to one of the best Spurs moments ever.  (Sorry Suns fans)

Okay, one more bonus! (Sorry again, Suns fans, haha)

Busch Gardens with Brittany!!

My sister Brittany came out to visit!!!! She was only out for 2 days, but I will take whatever I can get.  My only wish, okay well maybe my second wish (the first wishing she could have stayed longer) but my real wish, is that there would have been better weather. We froze, and yes it was only 50 degrees, but it was chilly to us.  It was fun to just hang out at the house, do a little shopping, and spend the afternoon at Busch Gardens. We all froze and I felt like an idiot for not dressing warmer, and the girls probably could have lasted a little longer if it were warmer, but they still lasted a good while. 

The photos look amazing because they were all taken by Brittany and with her camera. I want her camera!! 

Boston was a trooper.  It was cold, so he just stayed bundled in the stroller the whole time.  

I love this beautiful girl.  It's also so fun to see her act and look like Brittany, so I end up feeling like Addie is my little sister instead of my niece. 

How precious is this!? Solana looks up to Addie just like a big sister. She wants to be just like her :)

Zoe is Addie's favorite and now it's Solana's favorite as well. 

Someday we will live by these two...someday!!

What's up with those crazy tongues! Brittany took the best photos of these two dancing during the Sesame Street show. 

So the only reason she wanted to go on this ride is because Addie was going on it.  Solana was actually not even allowed to ride this ride because she did not pass the height requirement.  I tired to tell her she would get scared, but of course, I just let her figure that out. The woman said if Brittany went on the ride, then Solana could on as well.  So high up in the sky they went and Solana sunk lower and lower in her seat.  She did not like it, but I give her points for trying. haha! (her face is awesome!)

Baby B is 2 Months!

I can't believe our little Bos-man is 2 months.  I swear time goes faster with your second sweet kid. He is getting so big and so wiggly!  I love love love how happy and smiley he is, it just makes my day.  Seriously, he is just a smile machine.  Anytime someone enters into his view, it's like he says, "Oh!  I'm just delighted that you're here!"  

At his 2 month check up he weighed 14 1/2 pounds, and he is a whopping 25 inches long (95%). It definitely explained why he is growing out of all his one-sies and is wearing 6 month clothes. I have to buy 2-piece outfits in everything! 

This little man's latest:

-He takes 4 naps a day and eats 8 times a day

-He loves tummy time and scooting along the floor

-He now sleeps 7 hours straight at night, and I can't get over how amazing all that sleep feels.

-He has blue eyes and super white, blonde hair, and we are hoping both are permanent

-He's a people watcher, he just wants to be where the people are and stare

-And he loves to cuddle (my favorite thing!!)

Now if you ask Solana about Boston she will tell you his favorite color is blue and he loves animals, especially horses.
