February 2019: Love & Basketball

February was a fun-filled month that's flew by too fast! We of course celebrated Valentine's Day. First at school with festive parties.

And then we celebrated that weekend with our annual Dad/Daughter and Mom/Son date night. This has become one of my favorite traditions. We all really look forward to this each year.

James and Emery headed to Crosstown for dinner, art gallery browsing and dessert. Then they hit up Target for Emery to do some shopping. Case and I had a dinner and movie date. We enjoyed some Pyro's Pizza followed by Aquaman. It might have been my favorite superhero movie to date. So good!

We spent Presidents' Day at High Point doing some climbing. Case and Emery both impressed me so much by making it to the top of several different routes in the big room. Those walls are 50 feet high. I could hardly watch! They are braver than their Momma!

Case made it to the top!

 Then we wrapped up two great basketball seasons. It's been so fun watching these kids play this season. Both teams had great coaches and teammates and our kiddos really learned a lot, improved their skills and had a lot of fun along the way.

Case's team even made it to the finals of the tournament to the championship game and won by six after being down by eight to start the game. It was super intense and exciting to pull off a win!

Here are a few more (better) photos that one of the other parents took during some of the games. Evidently, Case plays most of the game with his tongue out.  :) 

We've had a great month but are sick of the cold around here. Bring on Spring and some warmer temps, please!!
