20 Pictures

Time to catch up with 20 pictures. Miles decided not to try out for basketball this year. I was afraid he would miss it, but he has enjoyed being part of the student section more than I could have imagined. It has been really fun to watch him. 


We wrapped up the fall travel ball season. It will be nice to have a break, but we'll all be ready for it to start up in a couple months. In the spring, both boys will be playing on travel teams. 


Carson is having a great school year. He loves his teacher and he's thriving in her class.


Basketball is not my favorite sport and so watching Miles' friends play while talking with my friends is more fun than the stress of having a player. 


We finally finished our living room redo. It's the perfect amount of decoration, function, and clean for us. It's a calming room for me especially when it's this clean :)


One of Miles' teammates rode home with us from a tournament. Carson was living his best life hanging out with the big boys. He looks like he's conducting a meeting which I'm sure he will one day!


Miles is writing his first paper, so I've been having to help him. He was extremely overwhelmed with it at first, but he's learning a lot and getting it done.


We got Carson's new bed set up. I need to touch up the paint and redecorate the walls, but we are all happy with the change. The loft bed was fun, but I am so tired of changing the sheets and to be honest, we didn't wash them as often as I like. The desk under his bed was functional, but Carson likes stuff. All kinds of stuff. The desk and shelves just enabled him to gather more stuff and junk. 


He's never really had to make his bed since it was out of sight. He's learning. This was his finished product a couple days again. An example of his stuff. I do not like stuff. The struggle is real. His bed gives me anxiety.


I got to see one of my best friends recently. Angie and I worked together for over 15 years and traveled together a lot. She lives 2 hours away and works for a different company now, so we don't get to see each other much even thought we talk a LOT. Unfortunately we had to attend a funeral :( 


Carson spent the night with Marmee. She spoiled him with Redi Whip on a spoon. That's what grandmothers are for!


Miles hit a home run at his last tournament of the season. All the fans thought it bounced over and was a ground rule double so none of us cheered until he rounded second. It was weird and I don't know how we all missed it. 


Now that the MLB season is over it's back to reading for me. 


It's a new season of life parenting a teenager.


Halloween looked a lot like last year for Carson. He told me that he didn't need a new costume because the one from last year still fit him. Ummm, okay. Say no more. 


I realized when we got home, I even took a picture in front of this same house last year because I love their decorations.


Miles had a Halloween party. It was a really cold night. I don't think they moved from this spot. They had hot dogs and smores. I would love to be the house where kids hang out, but Miles doesn't like to put himself out there as a host. I told him to try it once and if it isn't fun, he doesn't have to do it anymore. I guess we'll see if he does it again...


Brothers.


Hanging out before the game because his coach told him to rest during warm ups. 


Carson and I baked cookies together while Darrin and Miles were gone one night. It took minimal effort and our cookies didn't look great, but he had so much fun. He keeps asking me when we can do it again.
