BASKETBALL

#3 Mckray

playing for the Cougars

(he was thrilled by that, he is a huge B.Y.U fan)

Highlights from his first game.

With only seven seconds left in the game, the other team had the ball, Mckray steals the ball dribbles down the court looks up at the clock, sees that there is only sec. left he throws the ball up..... it's....it's.....no good, Mckray didn't care so much that he didn't make the shot, he was just proud that he stole the ball away and that lots of his friend saw and gave him high fives.

In that moment all was right with the world in the mind of my 10 yr. old boy.

GO COUGARS

What's a mom to do??

These two youngins are about to drive me crazy with their constant fighting.

They are so much alike and they bug each other all day... everyday.

I will admit when they are at each others throat, I have been known to LOOSE it myself. Imagine that???

Well, I think that I have come up with a grand solution to the never ending bickering....

They have to go to the corner and put their arms around the other and each tell how much they love the other one, if they continue with the bickering the longer they have to sit together in the loving embrace.

I for one think this is a genius idea

the only problem is,

now

I might have to sit in the corner when I'm being naughty.

(notice the clenched first)

tee hee

2010

We rang in the new year with games, drinking, eating and being merry as well as

midnight sledding and a midnight walk under a beautiful blue moon.

The weekend was fantastic and felt freeing to let go of the old and bring in the new.

goals I've set for myself:

get fit

serve others

be kinder to myself

love more

keep searching for balance

Happy New Year
