Kids!


We got a new Lazy Boy chair and of course it came in a nice big box. The kids played and played in it for days. The first night they really wanted to sleep in it and so they did. I can't believe they actually fell asleep and stayed there are night. Needless to say, Jordan was extremely cranky and tired the next morning. That's what happens when you sleep in a box instead of your comfy bed!


On another note, Sadie was recognized by the Principal at school and got an award for her hard work and good grades. She was really excited about it.

Skating at Bowness

Jordan and his best buddy Grant went skating on Saturday at Bowness. Grant's older sister took some cute photos of them. These boys crack me up!


My friend Stacey laughed so hard watching Jordan skate because he would skate so fast, fall, get back up like it was nothing, and continue skating fast again. This is a pic of him in the action of falling.




Boy this is the BEST DAY EVER!

Basketball Time for JJ

Of course with Carson and Kailey playing so much basketball JJ always loves when it is his turn to play. He insists I bring the camera and take pictures of him too! Last time he even brought these little hand clapper noise makers that I had to use to cheer for him when he scored. I had to pay close attention to the game and when he scored he would look over at me to make sure I was cheering with these noise makers. Darcy was laughing at me from the middle of the court as he coached these kids.


Pass Pass Pass!




We still can't figure out what JJ is doing in this picture. We have called him Happy Feet from the time he figured out how to walk and this is a prime example of his Happy Feet while playing basketball. Also notice that "Weston tongue" that my boys are born with.

Grade 6 Basketball

Kailey played her first year of school basketball this year. She played on the Grade 6 team and after watching these girls I think Springbank will be a force to be reckoned with for the next 2 years in Jr. A. Basketball. We have got a lot of athletic talent with these girls.

They beat every team they played by a huge amount! Kailey had a lot of fun scoring but also did a great job of bringing the ball up the court and setting up other players to score.










Another Silver Medal

It's that time of year again. We spend most of our days running from gym to gym watching the kids play basketball. Here are a few action shots of Carson during this season.

These pics are of him playing for the Calwest Community Team.



And then there is his school team.

A little drive to the hoop and then a nice outside shot!


These next few pics were Jordan's favorite play of the game!
He couldn't stop looking at these pictures.
Carson comes down on a break away full steam ahead.

The good old two foot power stop . . . Guess what happens next?

He watches both guys on either side fly over top of him
and then the third guy fouls Carson as he makes the shot.

To the foul line we go!

And one! Love that sound - all net!

Carson's school team, despite many challenges this season, finished with a silver medal (again!) They lost to his cousin Reggie's team (again) by only 2 points. It was a great game!
