Just letting you all know that I finally updated Danica's picture on my side bar. She is standing by the bathtub, so the background is not so great, but she sure looks cute.
Things for us have been busy as usual lately. Kaden is playing on a competitive Basketball team over on the West Side, so three days a week we drive him over there to practice. There league starts in a couple of weeks, but they did play in one tournament and did really well. They almost won, but couldn't get the ball to go in the basket in their last game. Unfortunately, you need that to happen to get points.
Ali also started basketball, and had her first game on Saturday. They did not win either, however, she did make a basket and we were all thrilled about that. She's growing up too fast. I trimmed her bangs before her game on Saturday, and she had a melt down with them being shorter than she wanted them. I had to help her fix her hair in a way she was pleased with, and now she's just counting down the days until they grow out. Jody told me she's getting to the age when I'm not allowed to tell her when it's time to trim her bangs anymore. I guess he's probably right.
Paige came home from cheer on Wednesday and announced that she can do a back hand spring on her own now. (They start by standing on the top of a triangle shaped mat, so she still has some practicing before she's doing them on a flat surface. I don't know when they will start having them do that.) For me, this is something I would rather just know about than actually see. I get sooooo nervous watching this kind of thing. But, I am so proud of her hard work to be back to where she was before she broke her arm. Good job Babe!
Tyce's big announcement is that he is a member of the HIGH FIVE CLUB in preschool. This is the club you get to be in when you can say all the letters to your teacher when she points to them in a random order. He is one of only about 4 so far, and all of them are BOYS. He's very proud of that as well! He's a funny little man, and still keeps me on my toes.
Danica is learning more words everyday. Her new one, and our favorite, in PATIENT. She's heard me say it a lot, so one day when she was screaming, I told her to be patient. Then I said, can you say patient? And she did! It's the cutest thing ever. She sure keeps us all happy. She loves to play with her siblings. They all call her WINK. I don't know why except that it's just another one of Ali strange nick names for people.
Jody is stressed even more than usual, as he is studying for the math section of his GMAT test, along with work, farm, family, church, and getting taxes ready to go. He sure is a wonder! I don't know how he does it all, but I sure do love him.
I am in a hair rut, and so tonight I am going to fix that problem. I'm tired of being 33 already, and I've only just begun. Hopefully a new hairdo will bring me out of feeling frumpy, and on the feeling sizzley. If that's even a word. Well, that's our update for now, I need to get batteries for my camera so I can take pictures of basketball and other activities. We have Kaden being ordained a Deacon on the last day of this month, but we're not talking about that. It makes me sad. And then Paige will be baptized on the 6th of March, so I better get those batteries.
Ouch!
