Just Because I Love You

To my sweetheart, Melissa:

Why wait for Valentine's Day? Love in full bloom is a great thing to have. Thank you. Truly, I love you truly.

(Okay, Kent, I know you are gagging, but about that I feel a bit like Rhett when he walked out on Scarlet.)

Formerly Miss Braceface

Madison got her braces off! Now good luck to all of you out there in your attempts to distinguish her from Mackenzie!

B-Ball Boy

I look forward to getting off work Thursdays to watch Clayton play basketball. He loves playing, and that makes it fun to watch him; he really hustles around so he can get a chance to shoot the ball.


I was never good at basketball, so I hold out hope for him. I figure that since he's got Besaw blood he stands a pretty good shot at it.

He's Got His Head in the Game

Clayton started youth basketball the other day, which he is really excited about because he says basketball is his favorite sport. He has lots of friends on his team, which makes it extra fun. We're still working on helping him understand that when you play with friends you share. As you will notice in the second video, he is pretty good at following parental instruction. Of course, it doesn't help that he gets such mixed signals! From where would you guess he gets his competitive instinct?

Happy New Year!

We spent New Year's Eve at Uncle Kent and Aunt Jamie's having a little party. The kiddos were definitely getting their groove on as they tested out an assortment of dance moves.


There was dancing, eating, reading, and just celebrating. We even had a mini fireworks show thanks to Kent.

Happy New Year to you! Good luck keeping those resolutions in 2009!
