Happy 6th Birthday, Sean!

Hard to believe that my "baby" is SIX years old already:( Because he is my youngest, I always think of him as being so little. When Lauryn (my oldest) turned 6, I thought she was getting so big. It's hard to watch them grow up so fast. We sure have enjoyed every year!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Seaners!

3rd Place

Well, after a wonderful basketball season & only losing one game all season... The boys came in 3rd place during the tournament this weekend. They played 5 games this weekend & despite being tired, they looked great.

Here Zach is, making a basket. He had an awesome quarter during the 5th game... One basket sinking after the next. It was just what we needed, to get ahead after being down 8 points! Within a matter of 2 minutes, Zach made 10 points to get us ahead. Jim & I were pretty proud:)
Here's the team after being rewarded with their 3rd place medals.

And just when we thought basketball was all done, Zach got asked to be on a traveling basketball team until baseball season starts up in April. So, we'll be busy watching & possibly traveling to see him play some more.

Season's come to an end

Lauryn will be finishing up with her swim team this week. The season started in September & we cheered her on at a couple meets this year. She did great, but is looking forward to the break & softball starting up.

Zach will be playing in his basketball tournament this weekend as well. His team has done really good, so we're expecting to be playing up until the end. But he too is looking forward to baseball starting up soon. He tells me baseball is his favorite sport. It's definitely the one I enjoy watching the most!

D.A.R.E.

Lauryn's 5th grade class just went through this awesome D.A.R.E. program, to educate children about drugs and help teach them the tools to say No. The kids all talked about how much they really enjoyed the program and officer Todd Lundgren. It was very fun to see their enthusiasm for choosing to be "drug free". So once the program was over, the children were asked to write an essay as to why they will remain drug free throughout their lives. Then, the top essay's were chosen from the class and would be read at the D.A.R.E. graduation. So Lauryn worked very hard on her essay and got it in early (since it was due while we were in Orlando). Well, her essay was one of the five chosen out of the 60 students. So, yesterday was the big day. She got up in front of all the students, parents, and families to read her essay. She was very nervous, but did a wonderful job. Here are some pictures to show off her important day! Reading her essayHalf the class, while singing a DARE song
