Last Upward game

Today was our last Upward Basketball and Cheerleading game for the season. We are truly blessed to have this opportunity for our kids! Corbin and Allie's coaches were awesome this year! They both learned so much. I think we are taking a break from baseball this year. Both kids are worn out from 2 seasons of back to back activity. I know this could change, of course. I do not want to push or pressure my kids to play. I want to foster and encourage them. I am so proud of both of them!

Allie's 6th Birthday

Allie turned 6 on Thursday, February 25. I took off after lunch, so I could take cupcakes to her Kindergarten class. It was so much fun! I am used to 7th graders, not little ones who constantly would come up to me and hug me! How cute is that! I think Allie got a little jealous! She loved me being there and showing me around the room. I am so glad that I did this. She is growing up so fast. When Corbin turned 8 this year, he just wanted me to drop off the cupcakes at the office! He is so independent!

A Beautiful Saturday!

Yesterday, was so beautiful! After our Upward basketball games, the kids rode their bikes for a long time. I just walked up and down the street enjoying the pretty weather. It was so good to be able to be outside and not freeze to death!

President's Day!

We were out of school today for President's Day! When I looked out the window, it was snow again! We have not had this much snow in a long time! The roads were okay, so the kids and I headed out to McDonalds! Then we came home, and they played in the snow for a little while!

Corbin's first violin lesson

Today was Corbin's first violin lesson. It was harder than I think he thought he would be. His first lesson consisted of just tuning the violin, learning how to stand, learning how to hold it, and learning how to hold the bow. I could tell is was strange for him. His teacher was so sweet. She is an 8th grader at my school. She has taken lessons since she was 6. She is so talented. Corbin said he had fun, so I am glad. Next lesson, next Sunday at 3:00.
