Updating the blog

Last year I was not a very good blogger, this year I am going to try to blog more of what goes on in our lives and what the kids are up too. I figure I start with updating some things that happened last year that I never blogged. I figure I start with the recent things going on with the kids and work back. The girls are in basketball and both started the year knowing nothing on basketball and have improved by tons. Kirsten doesn't like shooting for baskets during games, even though she can make them during practice. She's a great blocker and doesnt always block just her girl. Kacy is the only girl on her team and has made great improvements. During games she kinda hangs back and lets the boys do their thing. When she does get the ball she does this dear in head lights thing and all her boys come to the rescue asking Kacy to pass the ball. She does sometimes take it down the court but passes before shooting for the basket. Kacy has been hit in the head with the ball several times and doesnt stand under the goal or practice her shooting with everyone because of it. She handled being hit in the head with the ball like a trooper. After couple of games and practices (kirsten practices) I have to say after doing upwards basketball, kinda missing it this year.





Our church did a kids Christmas program, where Kirsten got to play Mary.


A picture with Santa, Carter didn't like it at all. Kirsten is starting not to believe and Kacy is staying strong there is a Santa.


Kacys Kdg class did a "Night before Christmas" themed Christmas program. Kacy got a speaking part during the program. She rocked it and got all of her words down. I don't know why but the girls school doesnt have all the grades do something every year. So Kacy has been in 2 programs so far and Kirsten hasnt been in one yet this year. So, no pictures for Kirsten.


Kirsten turned 7 years old and had a skating party. She has been asking for a skating party for a year. Since her cousin had a skating party last year.




Last of all Halloween, this year we had a bleeding skeleton, Ariel, a pirate princess, and an Army man. Carter slept through the entire thing.
