Bill was watching a science show the other night that talked about black holes.  Levi got pretty interested in it.  The next night he had the iPad in hand and pulled up the show “How the Universe Works” on Netflix.  He kept asking me questions and I kept sending him to Bill.  I told him, “your dad loves to talk about that stuff, go find him”.  And he did.

The next night..Levi and Jonah are on the couch with the iPad. Levi-”Jonah, I want to teach you about black holes.” Jonah-”Nooooooo”…Levi proceeds to get on Netflix and begin the show he was watching last night about black holes.  Then he starts explaining things to Jonah while they watched it!

It’s funny because he has all kinds of sound effects that go with his explanations!  I think Bill sees a future theoretical physicist in the making!

Lana has been completely fascinated with mermaids for the past couple of years.  She used to watch Aquamarine a lot and then became enthralled with a tv show called H2O.  On her Christmas list, she requested a mermaid tail that looks real!

The other night she found a video on YouTube that said if you put a sea shell in a glass of water, add a little sand, salt and a piece of your hair then you will turn into a mermaid! I thought I was going to be sick when she took a drink of her potion…LOL.

Needless to say, my baby girl is NOT a mermaid. She is however, a little disappointed.

Jada’s basketball season is officially over. Tonight was her last game and they went out with a bang. As you can tell from the pictures below, she was playing hard at both ends of the court. I had a great time cheering her on with the other parents. Hopefully she’ll get to play on another team and continue the successes and improvements!

Final Score

We had a few friends over last night to celebrate New Years Eve 2011. Jonah didn’t quite make it to midnight but the other three did. Maybe he’ll hang on next year.

The girls had a buddy over and the trio were wild enough they could have gone on for a few more hours. Levi however was just about toast. To top things off, I don’t think the ball drop was any more exciting for him than it historically has been for me based on the photo below.
