Basketball/Klondike/Sushi

We have really been slacking lately with the blog. Good thing it wasn't one of our New Years resolutions. We are back in the swing of things and everything seems to be back to normal. As all of you know, normal like beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder.

We had a heartbreaker basketball game with Elias' team on Saturday. We were leading the whole game until about the last 2 minutes. The other team scored and they took the lead by 1 point. In the final 30 seconds or so, they fouled one of our players and he got to shoot two. He missed the first one but then put the second one in. The ref had blown the wistle before the shot though because the kids weren't lined up correctly. He shot again and didn't make it. We got the ball back and they fouled us again. Another player made both shots on the 1 and 1 to give us the lead. With seven seconds left, we fouled one of their players and he ended up making both shots on the 1 and 1 to give them the lead. We didn't have enough time to get another good shot. It was a great game. The parents and all the people in the stands were going crazy, the coaches and kids were going crazy and it was a lot of fun. I think every single player was in tears after the game.

Once the game finished, Isaac and I rushed off to the cub scout klondike in 60 degree weather. (I love klondikes like that) He went and did a few things there and then we took off to meet Tami. Isaac has wanted to try sushi for quite awhile. I really didn't think he would like it so we have been putting it off. I was completely wrong. It was so funny to see Isaac with his chopsticks picking up the huge bites and putting them in his mouth. He tried just about everything. He started with a California roll and then moved on to a spicy tuna roll. After that, he was ready for the good stuff. He ate salmon, yellow fin tuna, white tuna, eel, shrimp and several others. Tami on the other hand, gagged on the California roll and that was the end of her experience. I finally have a little sushi buddy that is willing to try just about anything.
