We are Boring!

I am still trying to solve my camera problem. Brian bought us a very nice camera, but it is not the smallest thing to pack around -- So I don't :).
But I have a solution and now I just need my husband to buy in - A brand new Blackberry Storm cell phone. I always carry my phone, which means I would always carry a camera too! Perfect - now all I need is to convince my husband that this $200 phone is necessary for my blogging! Any suggestions on how to accomplish would be welcomed and appreciated!

Our family hasn't had too much excitement over the last 2 weeks. It appears we get up, go to work or school, run boys to basketball practice or scouts or mutual, go to bed, and then repeat. How much fun are we?

Update on Boys basketball games: Christian did not have a game on 01/31 but yesterday he did and their team won 40 to 10. As always, Christian did well and scored 6 points (I think !) Connor's team lost on 1/31 to a Fort Hall team. Their team did well but just couldn't compete with the other team's size. Connor scored 6 points (I think !). Sometimes it is hard to keep track. Yesterday, Connor's team lost. I think they forgot to show up! Connor had plenty of steals, but no points. The final score was 26 to 9. He was pretty frustrated!

Unfortunately, it is a well known fact -- The Atkinson's don't lose well. We are very competitive and like to win and for some reason if we don't - It has become Law that We must CRY. (which is very frustrating to me) Over these past few years, I have noticed that Little boys cry A Lot - not just mine -ALL boys! Since Brian played a gazillion sports growing up, I asked him if he cried when he lost a game, here was his reply: "No, I never cried! but then again I never lost!"
