Um……

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

while i was trying to get kids in the car this afternoon to go to dance and T’s Basketball game and talking to my sister on the phone. (multi tasking) i slipped in the car only half listening to Reese and Avries conversation, when i thought i heard Av say something that i didn’t think i would ever hear my little girl say. I sat for a second thinking about if i just heard her right when i ask her what it was she just said. Her response was what i thought she said,” I am a lesbian.” Soooo, we had to have a little talk on the way to dance. Try explaining what that means to a 7 year old. I’m just hoping that i was the first and last one she had told that to. :)

Last Provo High Basketball Game

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

T had his last regular season basketball game today. They played Timpview and lost. :( The team has improved so much since the first game. They will start the tournament games on Feb 7. Until then i will get a small break. Rylers Swim meets for Provo High is  also done for the season. Now they both start Baseball open gym in the mornings at 6:00 am sharp. No sleeping in here. While i was busy trying to get kids everywhere they had to be this afternoon  and trying to make it to T’s game on time, I was for just a second wondering if it was all worth it, but once i got to the game and started watching T play I was again reminded  what it is all about. There is nothing better then being able to watch your kids. No matter what it is, dance, baseball, basketball, swimming. I love it! I’m glad my kids got their dads sports ability, or i would have nothing to watch or blog about. I cant take any credit here.

    Avrie dressed herself for church today. Avrie has always had her own sense of style and i look the other way alot. ( I think she got her dads sense of style.) I had to interfere this morning. If you cant see in the pix, she is wearing a sleeveless butterfly shirt (shirt. not dress.) with a sleeveless vest with fur around the hood. Should i say more? OK. So the art of fashion is not her thing. At least she is cute!
