Kobe's 6th grade team placed 2nd today in their last BB tourney of the season! They won 3 and lost 1. Kobe also perfomed at KCDA yesterday for the Treble Honor Choir. As the were singing one of their songs, the lights went out. The funny thing is they all kept singing in the pitch black and even cut off together! Talent, for sure! They restarted the song only to have the lights go out a second time. Crazy! The choir sounded great.

Kobe's last Grand Prix

This is Kobe's last year in AWANA. Our church doesn't have a Jr High program. The Grand Prix was last night and Kobe's car won 3rd place in design. It was a Hershey's bar with a bite taken out of it. Pretty cute. He was happy, as this was the first time he had ever won anything in the Prix.

Once again, another last event for my kids. (Sigh)

Caden's great news and Kobe's new journey!

Just a quick note to tell of some more exciting news in our world. Caden found out yesterday that he made the sub-state team! This is big for him. Only 12 can suit up. He wasn't able to suit up for the Rupp tourney in Jan., but has been playing well and consistent. He was picked above a junior player and the other soph who has been on var since the beginning of the season. Needless to say, he was so happy. He has gotten some playing time on varsity, depending on the score of course, but this year has definitely been good for him.

On Feb 1, 2010, Kobe set out to get strong and healthy. He will be entering middle school next year and is excited to make an impact. He has struggled with his weight since 1st grade and I can tell it is beginning to affect his confidence and self-esteem. So, we have started to eat healthier. He is doing amazingly well, as this is quite the lifestyle change for him. Since the 1st, he has lost 5 inches and 4 lbs. We will continue to monitor his measurements weekly, throughout the summer, with a 40 lb weight loss goal in 6mos. I am also trying to be as supportive as possible, with Caden and Michael following along. We will see what happens!!!
