Taiylor's First Basketball Game



Anything for a quick shot in the spotlight!


Our first team huttle. Just giving my team some little
words of wisdom.



Not sure if that was a pass or a shot. Oh, Well.
They were a lot of fun to watch.


Doesn't that look like an intimidating team!!

Even from the back side she is just cute!!

The only way I could figure out how to let Taiylor play ball was to coach the team, so I had control of the practices. I forgot how basic coaching is for 6-7 yr olds. I would say things in practice and they would just stare at me like what are you talking about? Then it dawned on me, I needed to start from the very beginning. It was a lot harder than I thought, but a lot of fun. It's fun to see and experience the excitement with the kids. During the game, Taiylor was jumping all over the place, hoping she was where she was suppose to be. She had a huge smile on her face everytime she had the ball. A couple times she would come to me and say, Mom my side hurts. Is it time for a break yet? After the game, she talked about the other team and there was a pretty aggressive little girl. Taiylor just thought she was mean. She said, "I had to get rid of the ball fast or that girl was going to tackle me." We had a blast & they did great!

OUR NEW DOG


Love at first sight-you'd think it was our daughter


It was a huge suprise for the kids that morning.


Brinley was a little nervous & a blast to watch


The kids love this dog & they are getting along.


Nothing better than a little Father-Son time!!

Our dog is a yellow lab and her name is Miss Lady Macy. We call her Macy. I was quite hesitant and had to lay down a few rules. One being the dog doesn't cross the laundry room and the lawn is to remain clean. It's great chores for our kids and Travis. However, I have to admit that our kids and Travis have had a blast with her and they have been a lot of fun to watch. We suprised the kids yesterday morning when they woke up and got her the night before. They were shocked, especially that mom finally said yes. I have to say though, she is a dang cute puppy. If only they stayed small. The bond I have seen in the last two days has been awesome. I'm sure there will be more adventures to come with Macy.
