This one's for the BOYS!

I got a wake up call last night. I went to my computer after not getting off the couch for 2 days (due to being sick) and my computer was frozen. Hmmmm. I restarted it and it threw a big error, so I restarted it again. When it FINALLY came to, my external hard drive (which holds my just about everything that is near and dear and precious to my heart) was not being recognized nor was it working. At this point my heart is starting to palpitate and I was desperately needing my IT husband who was not home. So when he arrived, I almost attacked him and told him what was wrong and needless to say he wasn't so happy to due some other issues he had been dealing with and my Hard Drive just added to his list. At this point I was trying to hold it together, as I thought of all my 10 years worth of pictures, personal training reports and documents I had created, all my Primary files, all my Itunes music...and the list goes on.
Cory finally got to my computer that night and came to told me that it was dead and he was going to have to take it to a data recovery place and see if we get lucky. Looking back I don't know how I didn't start freaking out and cry uncontrollably (I'm actually proud of myself). I'm not this type of person at all, but seriously 10 years worth of pictures and all my kids baby pictures??? I know you reading this would of been on the floor in hysterics-don't deny it.
Anyhow; to keep it short. I didn't sleep at all and I got home this morning and told Cory to give me the address of the data recovery people, cuz I was ready to take things into my own hands!!
We'll, probably from fear of how that would end up, he went upstairs worked some magic and a couple hours all my info was being transferred onto a different harddrive and some massive backup process has begun. MORAL OF THE STORY: BACK UP YOUR IMPORTANT DATA SOMEHOW!! If you don't know how CALL CORY, I promise he will help you. (Right honey??)

Anyways- On to Thanksgiving.

I love this shot. Paul brought Rockband to entertain the kids. That guitar drowns Asher. It looks like a Ukulele on Paul.


Enjoying Rockband

Bensen rockin the drums

Then we move on to the DINNER! We all know what a good eater Bensen is.

Then the other side of the spectrum. Lily would eat the tablecloth if I let her.


Now on to the topic of the post! The boys had their much anticipated Thanksgiving Day Basketball Game. Here are some of the highlights and a little play-by-play action.

Let the game begin!


Cory fakes right, and drives left

Cory shoots AND (of course it went in!)

Jay gets the ball and pulls up to shoot! (of course it went in to!)

Brandon is next to get the ball and pulls up to shoot. (You're going to have to decide this one, did it go in or not??)

Jay gets the ball, passes to Trace who then...

Takes a step back, and shoots. IN! (as Amber screams "go TRACE" a little late in the background)

Next up to shoot, Kelly. He's catching some pretty good air.

And up again, Kelly. But where's the ball?

And last but not least Jay pulls up yet again and sinks the ball. More importantly...do you notice the cute little kids walking pretty darn close to the boys that are playing ball? DANGER zone! Ask Lily, she learned a very important lesson that day. Don't get in the way of the boys playing ball. Don't worry she is ok :)


I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving,

Loves,
Jill
