We always thought Ally was one of a kind but this past week while I was spending my days with Yvette, Ally was spending days with her cousin that is very like-minded and well...to put it as nicely as possible, they are like two peas in a pod. Some of the other words my sister (cousin's mom) and I came up with included strange, unique and crazy. It's great that they can be themselves and know that even then they are loved and accepted for who they are. Craziness and all.
Our Nature Boy and his dad have been taking a lot of hikes into our friends local woods. It's been a great way for Dirk to get some activity and have some time with Will.
Usually, Dirk and Will head for the woods without any extras along. After this trip, Dirk said they will be returning to that plan. Ally came home with more audio recordings of her 'last moment's of survival' than one can imagine. And while it was hilarious, her presence kind of negated the whole looking for wildlife aspect.
We had a wonderful weekend with Grandma B! 
Dirk's doctor's appointment has strongly suggested he make some changes so fish was on the menu. Thankfully, Sylvia was here to help cook it. 
And a lot of fun was had in the process.
The Quiz Crew...
Giggle Time...
Intense! She had a great day quizzing out 5 times with 4 perfect scores!
The Time Keeper.
Awesome & Wonderful Coaches, Robin & Karen!
Friday night found us at another basketball game. This time, playing for a different team but still having a great time.
What is it about the thrill of seeing our girl steal the ball? I love watching her do that. Now I'm wondering if that's normal.
She wants to be 6' tall. I think at this point, we are both hoping she makes it.
She scored over half the points in one game and all of the points in another game, helping her team win two out of three games. Go, Cyclones!
