Another Calvin Basketball Game

We braved the slick roads yesterday to make another trip west to Grand Rapids for a Calvin College basketball game.  It was a lot of fun again!  This time Calvin won, but the fans were pretty sparse and quiet throughout the whole game.  We went over to Aunt Mary's and Uncle Justin's house again after the game for dinner and play time.  Carson and Rebecca had a lot of fun, as always!  We are already looking forward to seeing everyone again for another game in mid-February! 

Carson-Style

Usually when Carson picks out his clothes, he does a great job of picking things that go together.  I guess it's natural to have some mishaps, though... here is what he picked out one day.  Navy Adidas warm-ups, a navy/white/orange striped belt (and no, there are no belt loops in his warm-ups), and a green/white/orange striped thermal.  According to Carson, the belt ties the orange in the shirt and the navy pants together.  :)

Abs of Steel

That is what Carson is going to have if he keeps working out with his Mama!  :)  I've been doing the Jillian Michaels' 6-Week 6-Pack that is on OnDemand right now.  I don't do it every day since I'm doing other things, too, but I've done it a couple of times.  Carson loves to do it with me.  He is so good, too!  He does these moves like there's nothing to them while I'm across the room feeling like I'm going to die (almost).  :)

I snapped a few pictures of Carson yesterday while we were working out together and thought I'd share. 

Knee lifts...

The plank things where you lie on your stomach and lift your legs and arms up off the floor like Superman...

And Carson's favorite... the burpees.  If you don't know what they are, google them and watch the YouTube videos.  You basically jump to a squat, jump to a push-up, jump back to a squat, and then jump straight up.  They are quite challenging, but Carson does them with no problems.  :) 

Go Calvin Knights!

Yesterday we made a trip to Grand Rapids for a Calvin College basketball game with most of the Hollebooms.  Carson got to wear his new jersey that he got for Christmas and he was so excited to see Rebecca at the game in her matching jersey.  The two of them sat together in the same seat, shared popcorn, and cheered on the Knights together.  They were like two peas in a pod.  Grandma even bought them matching hats... which Carson is very excited about because it's yellow (his favorite color). 

After the game, we all headed over to Aunt Mary's and Uncle Justin's house for dinner and more fun.  We had an awesome taco dinner, after which the kids got to play together some more and the adults got to visit and catch up.  Carson and Rebecca seriously had a blast!  They played in Rebecca's castle tent...

They ran through the house like wild children...

They played Baby Jesus in the manger...

They ended the night with a dance party and were both laughing hysterically!  Carson can't wait to go back to play at Rebecca's house again (hopefully soon!).  :)
