Volleyball

Abby is trying something new this year. A friend of hers at school wanted to play volleyball so they decided to do it together. There is safety in numbers, right! It is going well and she is enjoying it. She says her arms get sore and she has a few bruises but that's the way the game is played. I think she likes having the battle wounds and likes to show them off!! It takes a lot of courage to try something completely new, especially the older we get. Abby, we are so proud of you, how brave you are, and we marvel in watching you succeed at what ever you put your mind to! Great job!

Grandma Mary

We hadn't seen Grandma Mary (Grammie as Lainey calls her!) since we moved and a few weeks ago she flew in for a visit. We had such a wonderful time with her site seeing, playing games, coloring, and watching movies. For a special treat she took us all to Po Jo's in Boise (it's like Chucky Cheese but a bit bigger) where we got pizza, played games, earned tickets and had fun collecting prizes. All the kids loved the bumper cars and Lainey especially loved the Carrousel! We took Mary to the World Center for Birds of Prey. That was so cool! They have some beautiful birds there and we had a wonderful time. The kids got to dress up like birds, and get really close to some really big birds.

It was so wonderful to have you here Mary! We love you and can't wait until you come again. We all miss you!
