GO WEST SCHOOL MUSICAL

TARALYN WAS IN HER SCHOOL MUSICAL TUESDAY NITE. AFTER 4 YEARS OF TALKING ABOUT BEING IN THE PLAY SHE FINALLY TRIED OUT THIS YEAR AND GOT A PART. OF COURSE SHE ONLY HAD ONE LINE BUT THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR HER. AFTER HEARING ABOUT HOW SHE FROZE UP THE PAST TWO PRACTICES I WAS WORRIED. BUT IN THE END SHE PULLED IT OUT AND DID A FANTASTIC JOB AND LOOKED SO CUTE AS A SAILOR!!! SHE HAD A GREAT LITTLE FAN SECTION OF COURSE I SAT ON WRONG SIDE OF GYM SO COULDN'T SEE HER THE REST OF THE MUSICAL BUT HEY YOU GOT A 50/50 SHOT AT SITTING ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

VOLLEYBALL 2010

WE PLAYED OUR FIRST GAME SATURDAY WHICH I AM SO GLAD WE PLAY INSIDE BECAUSE IT SNOWED THAT MORNING. ONE BENEFIT OF BEING THE COACHES KIDS IS YOU GET TO DO THE FIRST COIN TOSS OF THE SEASON. OF COURSE WE LOST BOTH COIN TOSSES BUT HEY IN THE END IT DOESN'T MATTER. THE GIRLS DID REAL GOOD FOR THIER FIRST GAME. WE LOST FIRST TWO SETS 21-14 AND 21-19 BUT ENDED UP PULLING IT OUT AND WE WON THE THIRD!! NOT TO BAD FOR MY FIRST COACHING JOB! THE GIRLS ALL HAD ALOT OF FUN AND WE HAD A LOT OF FANS TURN OUT EVEN IN THE SNOW.

LONG BAKER ACRE DAY

WE HEADED UP TO THE FARM EARLIER TODAY TO HAVE A LITTLE BBQ FOR MY BIRTHDAY. I MUST SAY THEY WERE THE BEST RIBS I HAVE HAD IN A LONG TIME. YEP JEREMY THE BEST RIBS!! MAYBE WE NEED A LITTLE COMPETITION. THE LITTLE KIDS HAD A FANTASTIC TIME ON HUNTERS LITTLE TRUCK. AFTER LEARNING ADDI CAN NOT DRIVE AND TALK ON CB AT THE SAME TIME HUNTER TOOK OVER ALL DRIVING RESPONSIBILITIES. MEANWHILE LUCAS AND TARALYN WERE BUSY SHOOTING BULLFROGS IN GRANDMA'S LAGOON. NOT SURE IF THEY EVER HIT ANY BUT THEY MADE IT LOOK LIKE FUN. MIKE WAS ABLE TO GET BOTH 4 WHEELERS RUNNING AND THEN ABOUT 2 SECONDS LATER TARALYN BLEW THE TENSION BAR ON ONE. BUT AT LEAST THEY DID GET TO ENJOY FOR A LITTLE BIT. SO FOR MY BIRTHDAY I GOT A NEW PAIR OF BOOTS AND SOME CUTE LITTLE FROGS, A COPY OF CHIEFS SUPERBOWL GAME AND A BOOK. BUT I MUST SAY THE SCAVENGER HUNT FOR MY ONE PRESENT WAS THE AWESOME. MOM FINALLY PUT THE DOOR UP FROM MY GRANDMA LIL'S PANTRY THAT HAS ALL OF US KIDS MEASUREMENTS ON THERE. THERE WAS NOTHING BETTER THAN MARKING THE HEIGHT OF THE KIDS TODAY.

HAPPY ST. PADDY'S DAY

WE ATTENDED A COUPLE PARADES LAST WEEKEND TO CELEBRATE ST PATRICKS DAY. AFTER HAILEY'S GAME SATURDAY WE HEADED UP TO LEES SUMMIT AND MET AUNT JACLYN AND AUNT JODY. THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT FOR THE PARADE AND THE KIDS HAD A GREAT TIME. SUNDAY WE HEADED OVER TO MARTIN CITY. I MUST SAY OF THE TWO I LOVED THE MARTIN CITY PARADE. THE KIDS HAD LOTS OF ROOM AND IT WAS A PRETTY LONG PARADE. I WISH THE WEATHER WOULD HAVE BEEN AS NICE AS THE DAY BEFORE BUT IT STILL WASN'T BAD ENOUGH TO KEEP US FROM SHOWING OUR GREEN.

HAILEY'S LAST BASKETBALL GAME

COUPLE OF SATURDAYS AGO HAILEY HAD HER LAST BASKETBALL GAME. SHE HAS BEEN PLAYING FOR UPWARD THROUGH THE CHURCH DOWN IN GARDEN CITY. I WAS EXCITED TO AT LEAST GET TO SEE HER PLAY HER LAST GAME.
