President's Day Weekend

This past weekend we took off Friday afternoon for a weekend in Oregon to see PopPop, Nana, and Uncle Mike, Aunt Shawn (Matt's sister), and our nephews Alex and Josh. Love, love, love you guys!


Alex and Josh are both involved with the Upward basketball program January through March. For the third year in a row we were able to be there to watch one of their games. Josh's team played first (at 10:15 a.m. on Saturday). Josh is the one shooting the basketball in the photo below.
Mike is one of Josh's coaches. Here is coach Dad giving some pointers to Josh during the game.

Here is the gang of onlookers/fans from left to right:
Randy, Ken, Matt, Shawn, Mike's Dad Fred (from Ephrata), PopPop Jim, Nana Carol, little Jay, and Alex. (I sat next to Alex.)
We had an hour and a half "break" before Alex's game was scheduled. We used that time to grab a bite of lunch at the nearby McDonalds. The three cousins enjoyed some play time together on the free video game consoles there.

This is Alex's last year with this particular Upwards basketball program since he "ages out" next year. His age group keeps track of the score. His team won this past weekend.

We all gathered together at PopPop and Nana's house for a FABULOUS Valentine's Day dinner Saturday evening followed by a fun game of Ticket to Ride using the 1910 expansion I received from my sister this past Christmas.

We had a GREAT time this weekend. Thanks for hosting us again PopPop and Nana! We sure love you!
