End of basketball season.....

Today was Jordan and Justin's last game of the year. Justin played for the Kindergarten-1st grade team and Jordan played for the 2-3 grade team. It was so much fun watching them both play. This was Justin's first year to play and Jordan's third. Jake will get to play next year, so it will be even more enjoyable with all three playing! Next week is their basketball banquet and they will receive trophies! Now it's time to focus on baseball!

Jordan's ballgame

Jordan's game was exciting. The team we played, we have played twice before! They won the first time and we won the other time....this was the tie breaker! Our team lost! Not without trying and trying hard! Jordan was a little upset but he's good about brushing it off and thinking about the next game. There is one more game this Saturday and then Saturday the 14th, is the basketball banquet. I am so sad to see the season end, it goes by way too fast! Baseball is on its way...Jordan has a baseball clinic this weekend at the high school!

Justin's ballgame

Justin's ballgame was so exciting this week! The lead went back and forth between the two teams and Justin's team ended up winning with just a few seconds to go.

For the love of the game!

Jordan is our basketball star. He truly loves the game and everything about it. We have to check our DVR every day to make sure he hasn't overloaded it with basketball games. He will record 5 or 6 games in one day if they are playing that many. NBA, College, girls (he'd die if you knew that)! He loves basketball!!! He is playing for CAM Sports this year, this is his third year to be playing there. Next year, we are looking into him playing for BYBA (Boonville Youth Basketball). Brad is coaching, this is his second year to coach Jordan. The team is 3-3 right now with 2 games left to play! My nephew Justin is playing this year at CAM and Jacob will get to play next year (this Nov.)! Our family loves the game of basketball and it doesn't get any better than watching your son play the game and truly love playing it!!!!

The Week in Review

First attempt didn't go so well!

Jacob's second attempt at putting his shirt on and he got it this time!

Jordan at EBA- my camera isn't the greatest in gyms!

This week has been a wild and crazy week. Monday night, Jordan had baseball lessons in Evansville and I had a PTO meeting to attend. It started with a Head Room Mom meeting first and then the typical PTO meeting. I love being involved in Jordan's school and we have a great group of parents that are involved at Loge! Tuesday night, was Jordan's first game at Evansville Basketball Academy. I love watching him play sports, so this was fun for me! Afterwards, we went and ate at Golden Corral. I'm not impressed with that place at all and it is really expensive, I think. Wednesday night was church and Jordan and I stayed home to study for his Vocab/Comprehension test on Thursday. We normally do not skip church to study but his grade is down to a 91% a "B" and he seems to have trouble with comprehending stories. I know a "B" is not bad at all but there are a few more tests to come and if we don't get a hold on it now, it will continue to drop. Plus, his teacher says he fidgets a lot in class, so I don't think his focus is there. His grades are "A's" in the other classes but for some reason he has trouble comprehending. I don't know how much should be expected from a second grader, so I am flying by the seat of my pants. This has made the week stressful for me because I'm trying to fix the issue and not just give it over to God. I have to do my part at home but I know prayer is ultimately the key! Thursday night, Brad had a meeting with the youth leaders from the community and was gone until after 9:00. Thursday was the most stressful because I was alone until the evening and the kids were wild! To top it off, the gas prices were predicted to be going up and I had people left and right calling me to tell me to get to the pump! I appreciate it but calm down people! To top the week off, I haven't felt the greatest, weird actually. I've been extremely tired all week. No, I'm not prego, I think it's the gloomy weather (and the fact I need to shed some weight!)! There have been some major milestones this week. Jacob moved up to the preschool class at church and recv'd the Jesus' Kids Award at church from Mrs. Nicky! And as you can see by the pictures, he's all about dressing himself. The first attempt didn't go so well but he keeps trying. As a mom, I want to do it for him but he is Mr. Independent! Jordan's first basketball game of the season was this week as I mentioned earlier. It's been a good week all in all, I just have to stop and remember that I am blessed beyond measure and my life could be much worse. Oh and did I mention, I am sick to death of cleaning up urine? Jacob can't seem to hit the toilet and I clean urine up at least three times a day. I don't mean off the toilet seat, I mean off the wall and the floor and the trash can. Thank God for little boys because my days would be boring!!!!
