McKailyn's winter 2012 Basketball team picture

Addi's first dentist appointment!

Basketball starts!

Both Jocelyn & McKailyn have started their first ever basketball seasons and are doing great. I'm very proud of both of them for starting a new sport even though they know absolutely nothing about basketball :-)

McKailyn's team won by 2 points Monday night and McKailyn scored her first basket!

Jocelyn's team tied tonight (they had the "W" locked up until some third grader knocked down a 15 footer with 20 seconds left in the game!). Although Jocelyn didn't score yet, she had 3 steals, at least 1 rebound and 3 or 4 shots.

They both are learning a lot about basketball, having fun, and making new friends.

Sorry these pictures aren't the best, I used my phone. We'll get better videos and pictures next game.

Oh yeah....check out the last pic, Addi is very excited about her curly hair :-)

Jocelyn's surprise note to McKailyn

Jocelyn surprised McKailyn yesterday by putting this note in McKailyn's school snack:

Dear McKailyn,
I hope you have a great day have a fun one two!
You are a great sister and you are awesome.
You rock and you JAM!
From: Your sister Jocelyn

RCA's Veteran's Day program

Had a blast at the kids' Veterans program at school. The kids did a great job honoring those men and women who have/are serving to keep us free & safe. Then I was blessed to sit next to and hear stories from a gentleman who helped commission a submarine in 1944. He was a torpedo runner who actually bunked with torpedoes. Very humble and reflected all my gratitude to everyone else he served with..."there are many others" 

Enjoy the videos!

McKailyn's "I'm in the Lord's army", Psalm 33:12-22, and "God Bless America"

Hockey, eh?

I have recently gone all-Canadian and joined the OVC staff and faculty hockey team 'Slapshotters'. It was a rough beginning, but I AM capable of skating.... just need to figure out how to stop without falling on my butt!
