End of seasons

Tonight was Kobe's last regular middle school basketball game. League tourney starts next week. He has had a frustrating year with a new coach (who actually only coaches soccer), and not much playing time. However, tonight he played almost the entire game and did rather well with 7 pts and 8 rebounds! I'm proud of him and happy he ended his season on a high note.

Haven High's homecoming is tomorrow night. Looking forward to some great basketball at one of Caden's last few home games of his high school career. Time is moving so fast this year! Rupp Tourney is all next week. We play Tues against Moundridge. Today was celebrity day for Spirit Week and Caden dressed as Paul Pierce in uniform including diamond earrings. Jess told me he was the best dressed... haha

Mia is coming to visit for the week. Mom and I are meeting Steve in OKC to get her. Mom is off all week and she is looking forward to spending it with lil miss Mia. She will go back to her parentals on Thursday as they are all taking a trip to Vegas over the next weekend.

My boot is really driving me crazy. I put a heel cup in to help alleviate pain after working all day. Now the straps are loosing their velcro and it's not as secure and makes strange noises when I walk. PT is going well, but limited due to the boot. Ugh...so ready to get out of this thing! Hopefully next Wed will be the day.

This week we have had games every night. Kobe had 2, Caden 2, and last night, Caden and I went to watch the HCC girls game. I received free tix. So, I am ready for a relaxing weekend...

Peace

Big Re-Cap of 2011

So much time has passed!

Caden's Sr year is halfway over! Football season went well with a new head coach. Ended with a 2-6 record with the highlight of beating Nickerson in a district game. Caden was selected for All League D-Line 1st team and All Area 11-man Honorable Mention. He ended up 4th in the area for tackles. He was also recipient of the Wendy's Heisman Athletic Award, which was a big honor. He won Homecoming King and survived College Algebra and Comp I. We are now full force in basketball season. Had a slow start before Christmas, but things are looking better in the New Year. Decisions about colleges have been occupying lots of his time these days. Still working at Famous Footwear as seasonal help, and reffing the little kids games every so often.

Kobe had a good FB season as well. Basketball is almost over for the middle school. His ankle has done great, with no problems. He was selected to State KMEA and will perform in Feb. He is also singing a solo and doing a trombone quartet at contest soon. He is also in Quiz Bowl again this year. He is looking forward to Track, as he was unable to participate last year due to his broken ankle.nn

I had a mishap the last week of VB season. Playing with the girls in practice, I planted my R foot to jump, and tore my achilles. Long story short, had surgery on my bday, was in a cast and didn't walk for 8 weeks. 11 weeks later and am now walking in a boot. Started PT and hopefully will be in a shoe in a few weeks. While off work, I had a hysterectomy and was able to get back to work very quickly.

Mia turned 3 and we were all able to celebrate with her! She is getting so big and is very smart! Got wonderful news that my brother and his wife are expecting a BOY in March. We are so excited!!! Just wish we could see them more often.

It has been a trying year for us, but we are looking ahead to whatever awesomeness 2012 will bring!!! We are ready for a great year!
