Championship game

Tonight Ashley played in the championship game for her division in basketball. It sure has been fun this season watching these girls play. Ashley's undefeated Rocky team faced the other undefeated Rocky team. They did not get to play against each other during the season so I am glad that they got to play against each other at least once. Going in Ashley was very nervous for this game because she knew a few people on the other team and it is always hard to play your friends. The girls played a very good game they were up sometimes and then down sometimes and unfortunately they couldn't pull off a win in the end to take that first spot. It was a close game and these girls can walk away proud of all that they accomplished this season.

Since grandpa didn't make it up over the weekend to see Ashley he planned his work schedule so that he could be here tonight. Ashley was excited to see him.

We love grandpa.

Facebook does come in handy

I have had the flu this past week and did not make it out grocery shopping. We also did not have time to pick anything up yesterday like we would normally. Saturday was packed full and drained what little energy that I had. This past week I have spent most my time in bed and spent some of that time on line. I ran across this potato recipe that looked good. Since we did not have much to pick from for Sunday we dinner we made the potato recipe and paired it with omelets.

Facebook may have its down falls but it does come in handy sometimes too.

Very long Saturday after a week with the flu

Today started too early for someone recovering from the flu. Allison had to have her National History Day presentation at Lowell Scott and set up before 9. We left with plenty of time and I am so glad that we did because a couple of letters fell off and I had to run home a couple of times to get everything that she needed. Thankfully she got everything reattached in time for her presentation time. She worked so hard on this presentation. I am so proud of her dedication to her education. This was such a great opportunity for her to learn more about research and also to present in front of judges.

This is event was quite an event. It was fun to see all the different presentation and see how many people were involved.

After Allison presented we headed to Ashleys first basketball game. Today was the playoffs. Ashleys team ended the season undefeated and were expected to win their first playoff game.

Ashley did a great job playing and even got fouled for the first time. She got to shoot her first free throws in a game. I was so nervous for her because I know she has been working hard on staying behind the line and at least hitting the rim.

She didn't make the shots but she hit the rim both times and stayed behind the line. The team was a little harder then when they played them but Ashleys team pulled off the win to move onto another game. We had some time between Ashleys games but not much so we just ran and got some lunch and then headed back to the school to watch the varsity Rocky team play in their playoff game. Out of the ten people on the team, Ashley knows 8 of them so it was fun to watch them play. After there game it was Ashleys game. This game was also harder then the girls expected but they pulled off the win and ended the season undefeated.

They even won when they were down two players in the first game and three the second game. They play for first on Monday against the other Rocky JV team who is also undefeated. Wasn't it nice for Allison and Madison to dress up to watch Ashley play.

Once the games were over we had to run to Allison's NHD awards ceremony. She was nervous and didn't think that she would place but she did. She received 4th.

I am so proud of all that she accomplished especially with how busy this last week has been for her.

From the awards ceremony we ran Allison over to her school so she could get ready for her performance tonight. Madison and Ashley watched last nights performance so Kevin and I planned on attending tonight's. The performance was a combination of two different plays. Allison had three different rolls and did such a great job. This girls is constantly amazing me.

After today I was so ready to crawl into bed. I am glad that I was feeling a little better so I didn't miss out on all this.
Madison also got her hair dyed this morning. She has been wanting to try this new look an obre where the tips are lighter then then the roots.

Lunch with Ashley

Ashley had the day off school for in service. I am not exactly sure why it was only for k-8 so the other two had to go school. I haven't been feeling well all week but thought this would be the best opportunity to take Ashley to Sonic for the Sonic talk. I have been putting it off because she seems so much younger then her sister but I know that I needed to do it. Unfortunately, Ashley has heard the term Sonic talk for so many years that she was not excited to talk.

It is rather annoying to grow up. At least she got a fun lunch out of it and then some shopping at Target afterwards for a new outfit.

Horseback riding

Madison had a friend invite her to go horseback riding with them today. She had a fun time and even lived through falling off the horse.

Oh what it would be like to be fun again and to be so care free.

Snow

Is this winter ever going to win. We have had snow on the ground for the past couple of days when we wake up. It melts by mid way through the day but still snow on February 28th. That does not happen in Boise, Idaho. That is why I love living here. Please don't turn into Utah and please let this winter be a once in every 20 years year.

Sweethearts

High school dances are starting to come to an end for Madison. Tonight she went to the Priest-Laurel Sweethearts dance. It was low key. She wore dress that we already had and it was just her and Christian that went together. I was a little surprised when she told me they were going but I am glad that she went. These memories are great to have.
