Jack got to spend the night with Alisa Monday night so Lane got Mom and Dad AND all the toys to himself...woooo-hoo! :)

"Ha ha Jack, I'm using your toys!"

This is our "ball kid".  He loves to throw and chase them around the house and to "play catch".

First Game at Hilton

Alisa and Laurie & Alan had enough extra tickets to yesterday's Iowa State women's basketball game that they were able to take our whole family along.  The boys did great and the Cyclone women are still undefeated.  Thanks for the tickets guys!

Thanks for the popcorn Uncle Al!
