We have such GREAT friends!

As Brett left for early morning basketball, this is what he saw!!! Thankfully he
didn't call me at 6:15 in the morning. He waited until about 8:30. He know I love sleep!
There was no question in our minds as to one of the culprits. We found out later there were actually 2 disfunctional families involved. I really hope they aren't feeling too at ease at home in their warm houses. Because, as far as we know, the score has not been settled...............................

Acutually, we have loved having such fun friends, even if we sit on opposite
sides when BYU and UTAH are concerened. We are glad they haven't forgotten
about us since they kicked us into a new ward that we love just as much.



Where do they get this stuff?

We all know things get done faster
and in the right way don't we?
Well, I'm trying to have my kids help out more with things other than their regular chores. Well, when you ask a 14 year old to crush some Oreo cookies, this is what you might get!!!

At first I was a little mad because I couldn't image why he would think that would be okay with me. Then I had to laugh for a few reasons: 1. Braondon didn't complain when I asked him to help. 2. All the Oreo's stayed in the bag. 3. Bouncing a basketball on the bag actually did a better job than my more traditional way of using a rolling pin. Who would have guessed?

Technology!?!?!


Okay, so I was able to get my pictures from my memory card, but the card isn't working in my camera!?! At least I have the pictures, and they are saved on a disk! Brandon had a great season. He has played soccer since he was 5 so making the basketball team the last 2 year in middle school has been pretty cool.




Our sweet little Kelsey loves everything about whatever she is doing. Coach Petersen told the team that when they are on defense to get their guns out and point one at the person you are guarding and one at the basket. As you can see she does as she is told. Her guns were pulled the entire game. Her team is made up of 3rd and 4th grade kids. You'd never guess that she is one of the older kids based on how tall she is or isn't.

Technology!?!?!?

AUGH!!! I was downloading pictures from my camera and decided I didn't want to wait that long so I pulled my memory card out and I think I lost 483 pictures from my card!!! Daneille said, "Why did you have so many pictures on your camera?" Thanks Danielle. Lesson learned. So I had some great pictures of both Kelsey and Brandon playing, but I've turned into a mom that doesn't know how to work with modern technology. Thanks for good friends who have taken pictures of Brandon playing.

The Circe of Life

Brandon's basketball season is coming to an end with just 2 games left, but Kelsey's just started. While at Brandon's games Brett and I laugh at how the coach and some parents think the game is a life altering event. Kelsey's games are simply entertaining. Kelsey went from being on a pre-team gymnastics class to rookie basketball player. She was awesome on defense, both while a defender and while she was on offense. Like I said she is a rookie. She loved every minute of the game and every day of the week leading up to the game.
