La Charla

We went out to eat with one of Trent's teammates, Peter, at La Charla. "Mexican" dining in Italy...quite the experience.

The Fever

It seems like everyone in our home has caught the basketball fever. Trent has been playing really good, it is so fun to watch him. He plays with his whole heart and soul, and is a bigtime crowd pleaser! Jace has started to come into his own, he definitely has taken advantage of the language barrier. His coach says pass and he shoots! Amari has just begun and the fiesty personality she has is finally working to her advantage!

Cash Incentives

SO...The other day I wasn't feeling very good and asked Trent if he would take over homeschooling the kids. I was laying down for a while thinking how quiet it was out there, and went out to see what exactly was going on. Jace and Amari were sitting there doing their homework, no complaining, groaning, nothing. I thought to myself, "WOW, Trent needs to do this more often!" Then I saw his wallet in front of him, and I looked up to see a hundred dollar bill taped to the wall! Can you say BRIBERY??? I asked Trent what the crap was going on? The kids proceeded to explain to me that if they do good in their homework, and when they go back to school, if they finish out with all A's then they each get their own ipod. (hence the money on the wall) And Trent was all smiles!

Simple things

These are some random pics of the kids doing things they love...climbing trees and picking flowers. I wish we all could be so happy with the simple things!
