February Frenzy?!

If basketball fans call it "March Madness" -- I feel like the term February Frenzy is fitting as well! We have been able to enjoy watching a few BYU basketball games- both from home and at the Mariott Center in the last few weeks.

Tyler has a co-worker who gave him 2 tickets to a recent game, so Jordy got to experience another game from way up high (but at least we were sitting this time, not in the student section where we were for the BYU v. Utah game when we were standing the whole game).

That was his "I don't know about this" face :)

But just this last weekend, Jordy got to experience a VIP-seating for the game! (Tyler won tickets at his work Christmas party- haha--as much as Tyler would LOVE to have seats like that for every game, that's unfortunately not where our money has been going...)

We couldn't get Jordy to stay looking at the camera long enough to get a good picture...because he was too busy looking around! There was plenty to be looking at too, because we had FOURTH ROW seats! (Right behind our team!) 

Needless to say- Jordy seemed to prefer this view!! :) 

Owning the place! 

They actually look like people now instead of little ants!!!
(Poor Jordy! He was getting a cold but he fought so hard to stay awake and take it all in- but that's why he's not his usually "smiley" self)

I can see their faces-- no zoom!

Tyler was in heaven! It was a fun game (we were playing Saint Mary's- usually a good competitor, but BYU had a blow-out game-- which just meant we had lots of cheering opportunities!) Oh- and we got on the Kiss Cam! :)

For Valentine's Day we stayed in and ate Krispy Kreme donuts! Jess, Carly and Brad, and Ben and Carly came over on Friday night and we ate hot fudge pudding cake with ice-cream and played Last Word and then watched That Thing You Do! so it was a "lovely" weekend. :) 

Unfortunately, Jordy's cold has only gotten worse. He's never really had a cough before, so I think it kind of scares him when he gets coughing a lot. I HATE not being able to do anything to help : ( He has stayed relatively happy, though- we just got to cuddle more this weekend, which was fine by me! He used to ONLY go to sleep when he was cuddled up with someone, now, he won't really sleep at all being held- so, even though he's sick, it was still nice to feel "needed" or wanted by my little man! He's been growing up so fast lately! He tries imitating everything he sees Tyler and I do- from talking on the phone to putting lotion on our hands...he just wants to do things himself! He even will "fold" his arms to pray (sometimes he'll do it when we've already prayed or he won't always keep them folded while praying-but I'll give him a break for now, he is only 13 months old!) but I can't believe how quickly he learned that! It's an exciting (and scary!) thought to realize he's a learning-machine right now..,it makes me feel even less parent-ready! :) 

With Jordy's budding-curiosity and knack for learning-- he just wants to be in the middle of things even more now-- which makes it a tad bit difficult to do most things (darn- couldn't clean the bathroom again!) But my thesis adviser has been putting the pressure on (which just means I have to be more clever about coming up with excuses and ways to avoid meeting with her!) Even though Tyler has been pretty busy himself- he took Jordy with him last weekend just to give me an hour or so of no "Jordy-help" (pushing random buttons on my computer or taking every paper and pen out of my backpack...you get the idea!) This is then the picture I got of Jordy at Target as they wandered around for awhile:

KING OF TARGET! 

I should have known, Jordy's boss no matter where we are! 

Oh, how I love my boys! They both keep me on my toes :)
