Shelby's 8th grade Select Basketball season begins...

Last week was the beginning of Shelby's 8th grade Select Basketball season...last Saturday they played Nyssa and Marsing; they won one and lost one. Shelby scored 20 points in two games. Then this week, they played Notus and Payette and won both games. In the second game this weekend, Shelby had 3-3 pointers! Check out the pictures, she is #12 and 2 of the 3 pointers are back to back!

Snowmobile Fun!

Friday was a day off for the entire family~so Dave and Cody headed up to the mountains for some snowmobile fun along with Hyder and Sam. Shelby and I decided to stay home and go to the movies. We went to see "My Lovely Bones". Great book, great movies and makes you think a lot. Although we didn't take any pictures the boys did. Looks like they had a great time!!

New Years Eve 2009~

This year we were able to spend New Years Eve at home with a few close friends~The Roseberry's, The Hildebrandt's, The Garner's and of course Mom! We played a dice game called LCR and had a blast! Many more great times and memories to come in the year 2010!

New Years Eve Morning~

And this is why we love Idaho~

Humanitarian Bowl

Shelby and her friends all headed down to the Humanitarian Bowl to "work" concessions :) Money raised working concessions will be applied to summer basketball camps so we like the idea until we saw all the pictures of them working :)

Christmas has come and gone....

As I sit here this morning, I am thinking of all the time, effort and stress that is put into one day, the most wonderful day of the year! Christmas, this year, was spent at home and I would have to say it was very nice to be home for Christmas! A couple months prior to Christmas, Shelby asked if we could stay home for Christmas this year and we did. Dave has been putting in extremely long hours at work and it was nice to be able to be home as a family. Christmas Eve, we had a nice lasagna dinner and then watched a movie together. Then Christmas morning, we opened presents, had breakfast and about 2pm made our way to my sister's house to spend the rest of the day with the rest of the family. The one thing that I am enjoying the most this Christmas break is HOME TIME, it is so rare as the year goes on.... We are now preparing for the New Year and what it may have in store for us....

The Holiday Season....

We are right in the middle of the Holiday Season with so much to do and so little time to do it! Friday was the last day of school for the kids and myself and we have our fingers crossed that Dave will at least have the week between Christmas and New Years off! Throughout the Christmas rush, I have reminded myself what it important in life. The happiness and togetherness of our family and friends and we hope to enjoy as much family and friend time as possible this holiday season!

Here's a couple pics of Shelby ready to go to her Christmas Choir Concert~
