Sports and Music

Sophi is on a Bantan Basketball team, playing on the "Brighton" team. She's having fun with that.

She's #14! Katharine and I went to her game today. 

Sophi usually drives with a friend who is on the same team, but that friend is at a soccer tournament this weekend. Sophi said she's liking basketball more than soccer, so that's good (cause its a bit less $ and less time commitment). One reason she said she likes it is because you run less (court is smaller than the field). I was a little grossed out thinking that Katharine was crawling around eating cheerios off of the bleacher seats - 


and sucking her fingers and toes that were touching a high school gym floor... but K didn't seem to be concerned.

Or she was just showing off her flexibility and her stress free hips. She sure is pretty.
This past Tuesday was Senior Night for the hockey team. Wesley, since he is a senior, was able to play in the varsity game! It was very fast paced game and everyone was really good but he had fun. 
It seemed like a big deal so I sent a text out to invite family. My mom and Corey's dad and cousin Seth and our kids at home came to support Wes. They had a little party afterwards and Wesley's siblings liked that. 
Wes also got a nice big banner of himself that I guess we'll hang on his bedroom wall after this? Haha or he can take it to college and hang it on his dorm wall, nice. 

It's a bigger than life poster. It's fun to see the kids working hard and enjoying what they are doing (most of the time). On Tuesdays, Abi takes the bus to GMS for her flute lesson. Usually she walks to the bus stop, but I have carpool on Tuesdays and so this past  Tuesday I picked her up and dropped her off. She had her school work in the black backpack, and her flute and music in her gray frontpack. 

A few other things that happened today - Sophi had a buddy brunch with the YW in the ward, O&D had a playdate with Deakon and Zander, Wes had a hockey game tonight, and Corey took kids ice skating at the rec center. I spent spare time I had today cleaning. With sports, music, scriptures, prayer and church, we're hoping to help them all stay out of trouble. No easy thing in today's world.
