Good times...

It was a fun and busy weekend. I started the weekend off by going to the KU Barnstorming Tour with my friend Bethany. It was so much fun and I got to meet all of the National Championship winning KU basketball players. Everyone knows how much I love KU basketball so I was a giddy mess by the end of the night. The highlight was that I went up to Darnell Jackson for an autograph and told him he was my favorite. He proceed to give me a hug and I took this picture with him!!! It was awesome. I think he might think that I'm a stalker as I told him that he is my "side salad" and that Alex is my "main course" and that I was going to make a sign that said, "I'm married Darnell, but can we still snuggle". He laughed and said that we could still snuggle! Ha ha ha!! Anyway, it was a lot of fun and the game was fun to watch too. Former KU star and Wichita Native, BJ Williams, also played on the other team.

Saturday, we went to our first Water Babies class with Solomon. It was fun and he really seemed to like the water. The teacher said he was a good floater (on his back). He totally crashed after the class. He was so tired. After that, Alex took a bunch of photos of Solomon and Zoe.

Saturday night, Alex and I went to Sumo with Sara and Shane and then to see "Baby Mama". It was really funny.

Sunday, I spent most of the day working on pulling junk out of our house for the garage sale this weekend catching up on other stuff. I still need to plant flowers and do yardwork!

Giggly guy

I just shot this video. He does this all the time where if I look away and then look back at him, he giggles. So, every time , he laughs you know I've just looked at him with a silly face. It's so cute!

Still Coming Down

I feel as if I'm still on top of the world right now after our National Championship victory that happened already over a week ago. I am still reading every little bit in the news media that I can find and still get nervous, as if I don't know that we won. It was awesome to see that about 100k people showed up for the parade in Lawrence last weekend. We would have gone, but it was my niece, Zoe's 5th b-day party. She's a cutie and was VERY excited to open presents, especially the "Fur Real McCaw", a creepy fake bird that does lifelike things, such as eating a fake cracker, talking and blinking. I can't believe she's five already.

I posted some new pics of Solomon, cute as usual! Check them out: http://www.haverhillstudios.com/gallery/view_album.php?page=1

Solomon starts a new daycare next week and Alex's mom is here through tomorrow to help us out while we don't have daycare this week. She brought along some diapers and wipes... always needed baby supplies!

It should be a fun weekend. Solomon has his first "Water Babies" class on Sunday. We'll have to take photos. Alex's dad is also visiting us on Sunday for some IT help (from Alex).

We are the Champions!!!!

OMG... I don't even know what to say! As Bill Self said, this couldn't have been written better..

KU last won the national championship 20 years ago with Danny and the Miracles. Danny is now a KU assistant coach. We beat UNC, where our former coach, now coaches. We beat Memphis, the big, bad only one loss team, in overtime. We were the underdogs. A last minute 3-point shot took us into overtime. Half of our players had tragic events happen in their personal lives, such as family members shot to death, etc... To top it off, even our football team did super well this year. It's just amazing. It's amazing! I can't believe it. I was shaking and I could FEEL my heart beating.

I just can't get over it. My friend Erin called weeping. My friend Jackie called so excited for me as well. My friend Cherie and I texted. My sister texted. A friend of mine, LCM, was at the game and texted me from there! It was simply an amazing night. I think I appreciate this more than I would have when I was in school b/c it would have been a party then. Now it's just awesome. Finally, the "One Shining Moment" song included tons of clips of the Jayhawks!! It was spectacular.

I need to get my T-shirt! This just is hard to believe for me. I can now officially squelch all of the KU haters who have said stupid things forever like, "KU can't quite finish it" or "KU sucks".. Whatever, we've always been a great team and I think people are always jealous of winners. Therefore, the haters can offically SHUT UP for a while...

No more negativity. We had an awesome win for an awesome team!!

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!!!!

OMG... We are sooo close!

I am on "pins and needles". I have been all day long. I have my lucky KU shirt on. Solomon has his lucky KU outfit on. Alex and I have elected to stay home and have friends over b/c we have had better luck doing that. We feel that if we go out for the game, as we had originally planned, we will jinx it. This is stress. My "side salad" a.k.a. Darnell Jackson is pictured dunking a ball above. He's such a cutie and I LOVE him. We talked earlier.. okay that is a lie... and he said he was dedicating the game to me. :) :) :) We WILL win.

Moving on... I can't. Basically, my life is currently wrapped around tonight's game.

Here is a funny picture.... I wish I could make the waahhh waaahhh waaaahhhhhh sound effect for you.

And to think I have Jerod Haase's (pictured far left) book, autographed, on my bookshelf... disappointing. Oh well, I will just think of him as being a college student at KU and get over it.

This is going to be a crazy night!!

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!!!!! GO KU!!!!
