Back in February the boys had their second tournament and they took home first place!  They played a Byron team in the championship game and won by 5 points.  One of the boys from Byron was Kade's teammate last spring on the AAU team.  They still talk regularly and although Kade likes the kid, he didn't want to lose to him.  Kade really turned it on the last game and it was so fun to see him, and the rest of the team, take themselves to the next level of play.  After all the hard work parent/coaches have put in, it's FINALLY starting to show!!  They were all very proud of themselves.

There were enough medals for the #1 Brother to get one too!!

The next day Erik took Mason ice fishing.  They've gone a few times and it's basically just been them drilling holes in the ice and enjoying the outdoors 😆

However, this time they went for "The Night Bite".  They went later afternoon and it finally paid off!!  Erik said they were getting into the truck to go home and he saw Mason taking a BIG sniff of his hands.  He looks over and Erik and says, "Aaaaah...I LOVE THAT SMELL!"

And finally.....

BRACES!!!!!
