She shoots! She scores!
Hi Gang!
I wanted to send a quick post to friends and family about what is going on here in our ‘burb’. Everyone always asks “so how are the girls doing?” So I wanted to do one about them on their blog for a change.
Remember these girls?
Time did not expand after the holidays. These days every Saturday morning starts off with a ‘competitive’ came of basketball.
Skylar is enrolled in a youth basketball league sponsored by our town and a local church.
We wanted to do something for her since her sister is in Girls
Sscouts. Plus she really needs an energy outlet.
Know what? She’s pretty good for her short self! Playing among her peers, she scored the first two baskets the first game and has scored two baskets in every game since.
“Go ahead, make my day!”
And as good as she is getting at tossing the ball in, or at the hoop, she is even more tenacious on defense. So much so that the refs have to ask her to back up sometimes to give the other kids with the ball a chance.
There also has been a plethora of kids birthdays lately. The trendy kids birthday party this year is at the local ice skating palace, er, castle.
Who would have thought in South Carolina the girls would gravitate to ice skating?
Oh, I know why?
Every daughter appears to be a Princess at this palace, er, Castle!
Yes, the owners of this ice skating palace know how to ride the Disney train! Of course our girls have a great time pushing themselves around the ice. Dylan can go lickety-split now without the use of her ‘walker’. And you just never know who you will run into at the palace…
I like warm hugs
I, on the other hand, have been a Grinch, due to this darn, cheap, no accountable FreeMotion treadmill I bought. The manufacturer said they would forward a magical card to insert into he machine that was supposed to restart the machine.
If you remember it was out of stock. Well after waiting 10 days for the card to get ‘in stock’ the company tells me it no longer is made.
Say what?
So now they are going to send me the entire top console of the treadmill to fix that machine and get it running again.
Only that too is out of stock.
Did I mention the is a FREEMOTION TREADMILL with the fancy IFIT android console.
Folks, I really can’t recommend this company (Icon) or any of its products. Everything seems to be “out of stock” once you buy it, except all the warranties they offer. It really upsets me.
And they wouldn’t like me when I am upset.
But wait!
This post was supposed to about the girls. Did I mention Dylan also got straight A’s again on her report card last week? Yep! We are so proud of her. Although getting straight A’s is not really any trick for her any more.
This is the trick our silly girl is working on….
Daddy, I smell Thunder. Was that you?
…..trying to hold her little nostrils shut. Kids! But she will do anything she sets her mind too.
Which reminds me of some amazing weather we had last week, complete with the most amazing and brilliant rainbow I had ever scene when leaving work one day.
The base of the rainbow was brilliant like it was on fire. It lit up the sky around the base. See the second rainbow behind it? And how the weather is different on the outside of the rainbow versus the inside of the rainbow? I just had to stop and appreciate it for a minute.
Appreciate it like I do for all of you and my wonderful family.
I appreciate you all!
Have a great weekend everyone!
May all your shots go through their hoops!
