Basketball Gal

Emily joined the city recreation basketball league for boys and girls in kindergarten and 1st grade. It was fun to watch these kids learn the game. Some were actually pretty good, others.....well....they probably won't be joining the NBA. Emily fit pretty good right in the middle. The last game of the season was the most exciting as Emily made two baskets. We've included some GREAT footage for all to enjoy....so enjoy!
In order to teach the kids about guarding another player, each player was given a colored arm band. They were to look for opponent with the same color arm band and play defense. Emily was one of the best defensive players. It didn't matter if her team was on offense or defense, she was on defense. ..even if the ball was on the other side of the court. That's our girl!

That's my girl. It was sure fun to watch her play. The basket she made in the video was one of three that night! Next year she'll be in the newspapers! Way to go "the divine Miss Em!"

What a Weekend!

With the beautiful weather this weekend, it was time to PLANT THE GARDEN. We started Friday night and finished up Saturday morning. Whew! I wish I could say the hardest part is behind us...but now we need to keep up on the weeding. YUCK! Oh well... (Strawberry Patch) (Vegetable Garden) Luckily we had lots of help from Kelsey and Cyrus...not quite sure was Emily is doing...but I'm sure it helped us get that garden in. We also took a trip north to Roy to celebrate cousin Conner's birthday party. It was a quick little trip, but we enjoyed some cake, jumping on the trampoline, and playing with Conner's new toys. On the way back, we decided to stop in at the local "after hours" doctor clinic. Cyrus had jumped out of our swing Friday afternoon and had been favoring his hand ever since. It looked a bit swollen so we thought we should probably have it checked out. SURPRISE! He had broken his wrist. He is now in a splint until the swelling goes down, then he gets a "r...
