A Sleepover with Soli and A Superbowl

It is Super Bowl Sunday.

I don't care who wins since the Packers are not playing, but I am routing a bit for Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers.

I like Cam Newton's attitude and fashion sense.  Until about two weeks ago, I had no idea who he was.

Of course, I like Peyton Manning, the Broncos QB, too, but he is older and already has his Superbowl ring.

Lady Gaga sang a wonderful National Anthem, so the game was worth watching just for that reason.

Right now, at third quarter it looks like the Broncos will pull this one out, but it is football and it can change on the drop of a hat.

Super Bowls always bring back memories of a Super Bowl way back when I was in high school and Joe Namath led his Jets to a victory.

My boyfriend at the time loved everything about Joe Namath, so I also learned to love the man.

We drank Sun Drop sodas in my basement while watching that memorable game.

Good memories.

Of course, i also remember the Packers of old led by Bart Starr as they won the Super Bowl.  I knew all those old Packers by name and number since my dad loved them so much.

Sundays were always spent watching those great Packers.

Good memories.

So Happy Super Bowl Everyone.

Hope your team wins.

Speaking of winning, on Saturday, John and I went to Oshkosh to watch Tizita play in a basketball torunament.

Is there anything more fun that basketball at a Lutheran School, I think not.

I am so happy that Tiz gets to experience this kind of basketball just like my girls did when they were at St. John's.

Tizita's team went on to win the tournament.

So proud of her.

Making good memories.

After watching her first game, we brought Soliana home for a sleepover.

We had so much fun with her, she is such a joy.

We baked a rainbow cake since that is what she wanted to make, then we cut out and frosted heart cookies.

We had subs, her choice for dinner, then did makeovers, took a bath, and fianlly, ended our day with the ever popular, I Carly.

Today, my kids sang in church.

After church, we took Soli and my mom to Culvers and then to Walmart.

Soli loves to ride the elephant and the horse at Walmart.  She is almost too big for the elephant, but for as long as she can, I hope she continues to ride it.

We bought her a few things and then came home and did Valentines for her class.

She and my mom played together for a good hour and then it was time to meet up with her family.

The time goes so quickly when she is here with us.

We made some good memories for sure.

Here are some photos:

Good Memory making this weekend.
