7th Grade Basketball

Today was the start of Shelby's school Basketball games and although at times it looked a little rough out there. The outcome was a win! Today they played Syringa @ Syringa and Wednesday they will play TVCS @ Middleton. Shelby scored 2 baskets (4) out of the 16 points.

NEW CAR

NEW CAR! WHAT'S WRONG WITH US???

Dave came home and thought that it was time to get a new car the suburban had 208,000 miles on it. I thought of taking his temperature but instead thought it over for a few weeks and last weekend we headed off USED CAR shopping! I forgot how much fun that was. We ended up with a 2003 Land Rover Freelander with 56,000 miles on it. So far I can't complain since I got 21 mpg just driving back and forth to the high school!

Who's 40!

I don't think that I could say that I was looking forward to turning 40 but all and all it wasn't as bad as I thought! I remember my Mom turning 40 and boy did I think she was old which I'm sure Cody and Shelby think I'm OLD! I hardest part is realizing that your kids are getting older not just you and before you know it, they will be off to college!

I am lucky enough to have a great family and friends. After a long day at a 7th grade Volleyball tournament, then over to a baseball game and then I thought to have dinner and drinks at Elliott's. Well to my surprise, we ended up at our house with a houseful of family and friends and one other friend, Mark Niemeyer that decided to turn 40 with me!! Linda thought that we needed a cane and a walker but I think we can get around for awhile without one!

Check out the pictures, we had a great time! Next year, it's Dave's turn!!

Fall Baseball

This year for Fall Baseball, we decided to play Cody in a 14-18 league in Nampa. Today was the last day of play and finally they decided that he could play with the rest of them; he pitched 4 innings and had 4 strikeouts, 1 hit, 1 walk and no runs then they took him out in the end we lost. It was a great experience for him as a Freshman and next year we plan to have a team in Middleton!
