family time

i finally got to meet andrew, who is aaron's cousin.  aaron haven't seen him for 26 years and that's because andrew is in the navy and right now he lives in missouri.  he's been deployed to afghanistan, iraq, and his next assignment will be 9 months in kuwait.  we hope that it won't be another 26 years before we see him again.

we usually try to stop by deb's frosty to get soft serve when we're in diamond springs.  i love soft serve!  so we convinced leah to let ryan and jeremy have some ice cream.  and of course their cousin travis wanted to come too.  it was freezing, but we didn't care because we were having soft serve.

ryan had his first basketball game on friday night and he brought his jersey and put it on for us to see.  he requested to have number 1.  how cute!  his team won that night and ryan made a basket! 

on saturday morning leroy made his famous sourdough pancakes for about 20 people.  since we stayed the night, we had first dibs and they were yummie!  what is so special about the pancakes?  apparently there is no yeast in them - leroy called it natural yeast.  don't ask me to explain.  all i know is that they are fluffy and good :)
