Two Guys and Two Babies

We invited our friends Tony and Christa over tonight to eat dinner and watch the K-State game.  They have a new baby, Hunter, who's a little more than a month old.  So while Tony's brother Jason and I have children who are very similar in age (Joshua and Hadley), now Tony and I have children who are very close in age (Hunter and Clara).  And Nick and Cassie's kid Macyn is only about 10 months older than Joshua.  I'm really excited that my friends and I have kids that are really close in age.  

Meeting Baby Hunter

My friend Tony and his wife Christa recently had a baby.  Meghan and I had been wanting to meet little Hunter, but we didn't have an opportunity until tonight.  But today worked out well for everyone, so we brought dinner to them at their house and finally got to meet Hunter.  He's an adorable little baby, and we had a fun evening hanging out with our friends.  Joshua seemed interested but a little confused as to what Hunter was.  Here Tony holds the two boys, both of whom were very tired but did their best to tolerate this picture being taken.

Hadley's First Birthday Party

Today we went to Jason and Kelli's house for Hadley's first birthday party.  Hadley got some fun toys, and Joshua took it upon himself to help her break them in.  Jason's sister Terri was there, and she adores Joshua.  She was excited to hold him and feed him some ice cream cake.  Tony was there too, but despite his best efforts managed to do little more than photobomb.

Best Wedding Party Gift Ever

Back in August, Jason and Kelli Keeler got married.  Jason's gift to the guys in his wedding party was tickets to today's K-State/Baylor game.  Baylor was undefeated and ranked 15th in the nation with Heisman Trophy candidate Robert Griffin III at QB.  But Bill Snyder did what Bill Snyder does.  Fielding a team with less talent than the opponent, K-State played tougher and got big plays at just the right moments, and they pulled off the upset, knocking off Baylor 36-35.  We had an awesome day driving down there, tailgating, and then screaming our way through a thrilling Cat victory.

Two Ushers, Two Groomsmen, and a Groom

Today was the big day, as Jason and Kelli are now bride and groom.  Between the ceremony and the reception, there was a block of extra time, so all the guests were directed to Tanner's to hang out until it was time to head to the reception hall.  Here a few of us pose for a picture while the groom makes a face that can only be described as "Keeler-esque".

Rough Day at the Sprint Center

Tony had an extra ticket to the Big 12 Men's Basketball Tournament at the Sprint Center, and he offered it to me.  I was able to find a way to clear out my afternoon schedule, so I was able to head downtown to see two of the games: KU's and K-State's.  Unfortunately, exactly the opposite happened from what I wanted, as KU won their game and K-State lost theirs, which put us both in a bad mood.  Here Tony and I force fake smiles in front of the Sprint Center after the games.
