Basketball and Bicylces



Caleb played Upward Basketball this year at our local Baptist church. This is his 3rd year to play and was in the 4th-6th grade division. He was on a pretty good team. I think they finished up 6 wins - 2 lost. Caleb got a lot of play time as did all the boys. It was a little different this year than past years because they kept score and the referees were more diligent to make calls on the boys. Above are a few pictures of Caleb in action. He is number 34 and in the 2nd picture he is making the shot...his hands are in the air and the basketball is almost in the basket!



It was a beautiful day here and Macy decided it was just the right day to learn how to ride a bike with just two wheels!! We are SO proud of her for making up her mind to do something and keeping at it until she accomplished the goal. You can hear the joy in my voice and you hear her Daddy coaching her from start to finish. Yea, Macy!!

No Sew, easy....


Calling all Momma's with girls.....

Girls night out....Project night at Heidi's house!!! This nights project was a "tutu". It's a no sew project that anybody can do even the un-crafty (not a word but you know what I mean). I just had to share and if anybody needs instructions on how to do this I will be glad to pass them along. It makes a great dress up skirt and would be a fun, unique, and inexpensive gift. I think in total I spent $6-$7 dollars. You could easily make it more expensive with more ribbon. The supplies are 1 inch elastic, about 4 yards of toile and I used about 2-4 yards of ribbon (easily could have used more). Thank you Heidi for a fun time!
