The girls and I went to build a bear Saturday for their birthdays. They each had fun picking out their animal and getting it stuffed and getting to pick out clothes for it. The guys then picked us up and we headed to Valentinos for their birthdays also. I think everyone had a fun day.

On March 28 we headed to the Awana Olympics. Brittney competed with the Sparky's and Courtney with the T & T. The Sparks competed in 7 events and the T&T competed in 10 events. Both girls had a lot of fun doing this.

My nephew, Jace, before playing soccer

Last weekend, March 13th, I headed to Kansas City to spend some time with my brother and his family while Bryan and the boys went to Colorado to be with his brother and to ski. We had a great weekend with very nice weather and were able to be outside. We also were able to go to Jace's last indoor soccer game. He did a great job and scored a goal for his Aunt Di....he sure made me proud!! Thanks JACE!! A very fun weekend was had by all!!

The last basketball game

Dylan #6--just starting the game

Dylan's team minus 2 players

Dylan's team finished their season. They did not win one game. I prayed that they would win one but it was not meant to be. Dylan had a good time playing and so that is what is important. He did get injured in the first quarter of the last game--he was kneed by a player and then fell on it right after. He didn't go back into the game until the last quarter. He is still limping a bit.

Snow day and sledding fun

Courtney & Jadyn going down the hill

On Friday we woke up to get ready for school and there was no snow on the ground but it was predicted to come. I checked the computer and school was cancelled--it was kind of strange with no snow yet. It started snowing about 7:45 AM and then kept on snowing hard at times and we ended up with about 6-8 inches by about 2:00 PM. The kids all went over to our neighbors to sled. They all had a really fun time going down the hill and riding behind the four-wheeler. I took Chelsey over after her nap and she loved it. Both her and Kendall had a hard time walking back up the hill, though.

More Basketball

Dylan #6

Dylan plays point guard so he takes the ball down the court

Dylan's 7th grade team has not won a game this year. They have 3 games left and so are hoping that maybe they can win one at least. Dylan has made quite a few points this year and has been able to make some 3 pointers. He really enjoys playing and I am very thankful that he has such a good attitude especially when losing all the time.
