Quincy's last game(s)

Quincy had 2 games this week to end her season.  They won both games!  Her team really seemed to come a long way. 
Tonight, Quincy made a basket!  She really hasn't shot much all season.  I was surprised to see her shoot and happy that it went in!  She was pretty excited too!  They came back from being down and won by 1 point!  
She also got fouled and got to shoot some free throws!  She was pretty excited about that!  
This was a fun team with good coaches. I have enjoyed watching them! 
And I had to giggle when they took a "funny" photo....Quincy has never been serious in her life, until now!

4-H club day

Preston played a trumpet solo at 4-H county club days.  He did a great job.  He did sort of struggle through the first song.  I got a kick out of him telling his leader that he "stunk out loud".  It really wasn't that bad!  I was very proud of him for getting up in front of people and trying.  

Quincy gave a speech called "Poultry Problems" and she did a great job.  I was proud of her.  She even had good answers to the judge's questions.  
We didn't stay for the end results because we had left Jim and the little girls at the Overbrook ball park clean up day.  Hopefully we will have results soon!  
After having a little lunch together, the kids played while Jim worked on a project at the ball diamonds.  I can't believe how nice the weather is considering it's still February!

Bam! She can read!

Last night Harper asked me if she could read the bedtime story.  I said sure!  And she did.  I knew she was oh so close to reading on her own. She has arrived!

Cameron's last game

Tonight, the JV had their last game of the season against Iola. Cameron had a great game.  Because Mallory for whatever reason doesn't have school tomorrow, she came to watch and took photos.  She is a better photographer than I am!  
Cameron had several points, a bunch of rebounds, I lost track of his assists and he had 4 fouls.  It was a tough game. They lost by 3.  Fun to watch.  Well....not the losing part, but the game was good.  The boys played really well. 
It was a fun season.  I have really enjoyed watching.  The team really came a long way and are so much better than at the beginning of the season. 
We have a couple weeks off from high school sports before we plunge into spring activities.  This means the end of me sitting indoors!
