Ever Yours

Kate’s dog, Niko, is the tiniest dog on the planet.  I don’t think he has grown since we got him?  Not sure if that is ok?  Hoping all is well?

Anyways.  He is stinking cute and when he yawns, the yawn will overtake his whole body and his yawn is bigger than his actual self.  I caught one on video, although it was, admittedly, a small yawn compared to his normal gigantor yawns.  But since I am all about video footage now, what with my fancy new WIFI and all, I felt the need to, once again, upload a video.

You are welcome.

The girls played their final game last night of the season.  They won, of course.

Kate is on the left and Hadley is on the right.

The coach did something really special for the seniors.  He started all five of them for the fourth quarter and had them play together most of the quarter.  Then he had other girls sub them out one at a time, so each senior could get a round of applause from friends and family.

We were sitting pretty close to their bench and I heard the coach turn to Hadley and say:

“Ok.  You go in for your sister.”

And I got in on video.  And Kate cried.  And it was very sweet.

Hadley is #23 and Kate is #30

If you listen carefully, you can hear Auggie say something about Kate crying and wanting to go hug her.  Lily, who was with us watching the game, shuts that down real quick.

Ha!  These teens.

Today, we have a multitude of teens over at our house and much food is being consumed.  But some of the teens have brought food as tribute, which is kind and helpful.  Hadley’s new boyfriend, who is definitely going fishing on Valentine’s Day, told us he would bring some elk steaks.

I was in a text-versation with several family members, and Jason-

Remember Jason?

Jason, who is my comedic hero, says:

Breaking up with him tonight at least would be a missed steak.  Get it?  Missed steak/mistake?

This is why we love Jason.

Today, out of nowhere, David decided to put an outlet in a place where I have longed for an outlet for a good decade.

Yes!  Did you know David was an electrician?

It is true.

And now we can watch TV in the living room.  And Kate’s boyfriend found one of my favorite movies for me.  And I was happily watching it on the couch singing/annoying my teens.

Reader.  Name THAT movie.

Anyways, I didn’t even know David was going to install an outlet and he comes in the house WEARING A TOOL BELT.

A

Tool.

Belt.

Me:  David!  Is this how you look everyday?  Like when you are all about the town?

David:  Pretty much.

Me:  Hadley!  Doesn’t he look handsome?

Hadley:  Do not involve me in this conversation.

Me:  David!  No wonder all them old ladies keep calling you up for side work.

“David!  Can you hang a light for me?  Oh, here’s an apple pie!”

“Yoo-hoo, David!  I need an outlet over here.  Can you come look?  Oh, and here are some freshly baked cookies!”

He even once got a handwritten card from one of the lovely ladies.

And she signed it

“Ever Yours, Hazel.”

I get it, Hazel.  I totally get it.
