Drums, Basketball, Mike(s), Swimming, and Garden!!!






DRUMS!!!
We go to basketball games to watch uncle Mike. Ryan goes to basketball games to play the drums! The South Sioux band was so nice to Ryan and cousin Addison. They let them play the drums at home games. Friends of Papa Tom and Grandma Vicki would see them playing the drums and thought the kids needed a drum set!!! Tom and Vicki ended up with TWO sets of drums...one of these sets came to our house!

Mike Wiltse!!!
I went back to Wayne to help mom at the greenhouse for Valentine's day. We had a babysitter for Ryan. I was also able to spend sometime with my brother, Mike, and a few of his friends at a "beach" party in the middle of February.

Mike Gesell!!!!
The state basketball tourney was in March. South Sioux City lost in the final game but had a great season. We still have plenty of basketball to watch since Uncle Mike G. will be playing for Iowa next year! Ryan had a lucky mohawk and looked so cute in his basketball gear!

SWIMMING!!!!
Ryan started swimming lessons this month. He LOVES swimming.

Garden!!!!
We just planted our (my) 1st garden! Ryan helped me with the final load of soil yesterday. I told him we needed to go to Lowes to get more dirt. On the car ride to Lowes he kept saying "more dirt"!!! I planted the garden during his nap time. We have an herb garden and in our raised bed we have: broccoli, onion, eggplant, peas, green beens, radishes, carrots, lettuce, spinach, asparagus, and soon we will plant our tomatoes and peppers.
