Mikayla's B-Ball Game And All Of This Winter Weather!

Mikayla had her first basketball game of the season last night against the Liberty Middle School Eagles. She and her team won both games! Mikayla rocked it with some awesome plays, and and awesome shot scoring baskets for the Fox's. Their first game was supposed to be on Tuesday evening, but since it was so cold here, school was canceled. It got down to -20 for our low that night (yes, that was the actual temperature) so the kids missed school for 2 days due to the weather. It was a good thing that they went back to school yesterday or I would've been dropping them off at their Principal's house for some tutoring! It isn't like t doesn't get cold in Denver, so we were surprised that they closed school.

A few weeks ago, we headed over to the High School for Freshman night for Alyssa. Bless her heart, she looked so nervous when we got there. We were very happy with what we heard from the Administration and she found several clubs that she is interested in joining. In fact she has already received an email from the Fashion Club about being able to come to their next meeting. She was really excited about that when I told her. She is also thinking about joining the Pom's team and there is a 6 week clinic before tryouts that she is looking at attending. I think the nerves will subside with the more clubs she joins, and she has some friends that are interested in the same clubs as well. Her pre-registration is coming up soon, and I am interested in seeing the courses she will have.

Cameron is getting ready for his Valentine's Party at school next Friday. We have to make his box for him to collect his cards, so I guess we will be doing that this weekend. He has a birthday party to go to as well, so I guess we will be a little busy. Next year will be our last year with the classroom parties and valentines and such, so I guess I better enjoy it while I can. I can't believe that the kids are growing up so fast. It is just mind blowing.

We are planning a trip down to Texas for Spring Break to see the family. The funny thing is, this time last year, we were planning a trip to Colorado for Spring Break to look into moving here! How the tides have changed! The kid's breaks are a little different, Cameron has a 2 week break and the girls only have a week, so our visit will be a little short, but at least we will be able to see everyone and that will be nice.

That is about all that is going on here in the beautiful state of Colorado. It is still snowing today, but not nearly as cold thankfully. So in other words, excellent ski weather!
