It sure has been a long time! I was trying not to have big breaks in this blog. My goal was to keep a very updated and fun blog that everyone would want to come visit. But things just got a little out of hand so here I am, better late then never. I'll try and catch everyone up with things going on around here.

At the end of February Jamil had his last basketball tournament with his West View Youth team. It was held in Seaside so we got to have a small family vacation. They came away with three out of four game wins. They played so well. They all came home with metals. It was nice hanging out with all the families. That weekend happened to be Jibril's birthday so we celebrated with Jamil's basketball team. Saturday night after dinner we all went to Fun Land! Fun Land is kind of like a Bullwinkle's you pay to get tokens to play games then you receive tickets to cash in for a prize. All the boys on Jamil's team got together and gave Jibril all their tickets adding up to over 200. Every parent was so surprised and happy that they did that on their own. They really are some special boys!!

Last weekend we spent it up in Tacoma and Seattle. It was nice seeing family and friends. My cousin had a baby shower for the up coming birth of her baby girl. I'm so happy we were able to stay with Sara. She always makes really good food and she always makes us feel at home. The boys played hard with all their cousins, it was a FULL house!

This weekend is Jamil's birthday!! I can not believe he is 11 years old!!!! Yesterday we went to Grandma's and had cake and ice cream. Today we all feel tired and like colds are coming our way. We've been drinking lots of tea and getting our rest so hopefully this cold will pass us or if we do get it, it won't stay that long.

I did forget to tell you that we finally bought a new camera!! So, I hope to have lots of pictures in my up coming posts!!!!
( I'm still learning how to use it :)

Well, I know I could go on and on but I'm going to say good-bye for now and give these boys some TLC.

I'll be back soon.....
