Well the Bobcats are dust in the wind as far as basketball goes. Canyon Ridge took them out on Sat. A happy / sad end 'cause Chelsae is now "free". All she has now is competition in cheer leading and then baseball season hits. All of our kids have liked competitive sports. Now that we think of it, all of our kids have liked playing with a sphere of some sort. Chris loved the ornaments on the Christmas tree so much that it was not unusual to come down in the morning and find all the ornaments on the bottom of the tree branches. We think that is why he loved all sports so much. Nickie liked baseball but she threw like a girl. (which would make you laugh unless when you had to chase the ball). But Nickie loved circles of family and friends. And she loved "drawing " you in for a hug. Shawnae was great at hitting the ball and teasing the catcher and the pitcher. Chelsae loves to hit the loooooong ball but her speed is her gift. Now Julie was not involved in competitive sports in school but we wager that if there was ever a tether ball team, Julie would have won the gold metal. Recess was the time to prove her dominance in the school yard. As we look back over our years of young parenthood, our children loved ball games, movies and friends. But not all the tea in China could be traded for the times we played catch in the house ( much to mom's chagrin), or bounce the ball in the yard trying to be like Michael Jordan. Those precious moments then were so casually spent as if the clock of childhood ran as slow as molasses in January. Oh my fine friend, how those memories bring warmth on a cold day.
Julie and Chelsae traveled to Poky on Friday to spend some time with Shawnae at her cosmetology school. And while they were there, they had a pedicure, manicure and mom had her hair done. I will try to send a video of this with this blog as well. Any way they were very well done. We are very proud of Shawnae. Keep up the good work. You might make it to the "head" of the class. Get it? Chelsae is trying out for softball and we hope she has "covered" all the bases. Get it? Chris is renting cars so well he was #1 in the state of Idaho. Let's hope the customers don't "drive" him crazy. Get it? Julie is an awesome wife and mother as usual. She is right now at the racket ball club working out with her Pandora music. Let's hope that the "cycle" of life never stops. Get it?
Love you all!!!!
