They are growing up!

So there is this basketball player named Jim Fredette. He plays for the BYU Cougars. Everybody calls him Jimmer, which was what his mom started calling him when he was little. Jimmer is very good at making baskets. There are many games that he has made 40+ points. It's pretty cool to watch the youtube videos on him. There are huge lines to get into basketball games and people travel from far away to come and watch him play. I have seen a lot of facebook updates about him. BYU fans have nothing but love for this guy. I worked as a special events hostess (professional ticket taker) for awhile in college. I worked at the basketball games and they were struggeling to get people to come to the games. Most of the people that came had free tickets. There were never very many people there. It was mostly old grandma and grandpas that came. The grandpas always made me miss my grandpa Shepley because they would wink at me as I took their ticket, or come over so I could take their ticket and then say something to their grandpa friends or wife or whoever they were with like "I got the pretty girl to take my ticket."

Anyway, the point to this story is that Josh came home from school and told me that BYU just couldn't lose. He talked some BYU basketball to me. I asked him how he knew that and he and his friends at school are talking sports! I never even thought about my kids coming home and talking sports. It is a sure sign that he is really growing up.

The other day the kids friends came over and Brad overheard them talking about kissing. Josh wasn't in the conversation, but Brad learned that Connor has not kissed a girl, Kaytlynn has not kissed a boy, Caden has kissed a girl, and Lola has not kissed a boy. When did they start talking about this? They are so growing up!
