The Hunt is ON!

We spend a lot of time scouting the basketball talent around here...

and all of the boys love to play

some more agressive....than others

Kary is the coach of the ward team. They won first place and will

going to the playoffs the end of March

In January we were hunting for our newest 18 year old. Of course being the kind parent I am I made an appointment for the eye doctor for right after school, (all he wanted was contacts) went to the school after lunch and filled his car to the very top with all sizes of balloons. Then got lucky enough to be on the phone with him when he walked out to his car. "Mooooooooom" It was a great laugh- and a birthday he won't forget soon. He looks GOOD in his contacts.

FUN!!

the young men and young women in our ward decided to do something fun for their activity for the end of the summer. All 6 groups had to build a boat, it could be made out of anything you wanted as long as it only cost $35.00. All the boats were made (Kary's group- the teachers- built a 12 foot long, 4 foot high, pirate ship) the whole group headed out to Quail Resevoir to have a race and see who would float. Tyler's group tied a matress to some big foam blocks, and Matthew's group took a large sheet of plywood, cut two holes in the middle, put buckets in to sit in, then put big round pipes under the edges. It was an interesting sight when all the boats got to the water. Matthew helped build his boat, but he had football practice while the activity was going on so- Craig took his place on the boat. To make a long story short, the priests (Matthew's boat) won the race, Deacon's got second, then the girls after them. The pirate ship- it sank. But not before the boys had time to bomb the other ships with water balloons. All of the kids had fun.
