Kelsey Quote

Telling on myself....

Kelsey, "Did your mom cook a lot?"
Me, "My mom cooked all the time."
Kelsey, "More than we cook?"
Me, "Definitely."
Kelse, "Like it would be a surprise if it was pre-made?"
Me, "Yes."
Kelsey, in awe, "Wow."

Yea! Don't know what was wrong or why it's fixed, but I can post pictures again. Yippee! Quick, quick - you better look fast ;).

Another FB sports quote that pleased our family...,"Erica ******, Kelsey Walker, and Olivia ***** led Steve ****'s team to a close victory." Kelsey's game was close this week, and a lot of fun. She played with one of her very best friends. They were both #4 and assigned to guard each other.

Awfully cute, aren't they?

 Kelsey usually plays very strong defensively, but doesn't tend to shoot, so mom and dad were awfully pleased to see her take a shot on Saturday, and two foul shouts, too :). neither went in, but it was so close!

Whew, that'll wear you out!

The scoreboard crew

Keegan and Kelsey have become quite the scoreboard and stat keepers. They want to stay for as many other games as possible to run the board and record the stats. They do a good job of it, too!

I don't have pictures from Keegan's last game, but last but not least... the Facebook summary for her league...,"Keegan Walker played an outstanding game rebounding and on the defensive end."  Woo, hoo!

We are enjoying the basketball season!

Naughty Cat!

This is the very, very naughty cat, sitting on sticky-side-up contact paper, after climbing over still more sticky-side-up contact paper, squeezed in between the wall, the back of the fish tank, and the frog tank (which, thankfully, she did not knock over.)

Sigh.

Prayers for a friend

A childhood friend of mine (whom I haven't actually seen in years,) has had a baby who is having many health struggles. The mom has been amazingly strong, faithful and inspiring as she and her family are facing this trauma. The baby is having emergency surgery today, probably as I type this. Please pray for this family and for wisdom for the doctors who are making hard decisions. Below is the Caring Bridge link if you would like to read more about the situation. Thanks.

UPDATE/PRAISE
Drew made it through the surgery much better than anyone expected! Yea!

Kelsey/ Caitlyn Quote

Kelse, playing Pac-Man, "You think you can eat me? Just try it!"
Caitlyn, "I find it funny that you are taunting a video game."

"Too bad Pac Man doesn't have an evil laugh."

^Kelsey has been working on her jumping and shooting.^

 

Keegan's team yells either, "Defense!" or "Cookies!"  Hee, hee.

 Well now, aren't they cute?

 The big sisters at the score table during Kelsey's game.  Cute.

Kelsey Quote

Me, " What a smart kid."
Kelse, "I get it from my mom."
Bwahaha - that is a smart kid!

Basketball report

I haven't been able to upload pictures for several days now. This is very upsetting to me :(. and to you, too, I am sure :). However, on to other news....

We receive little summaries of the basketball games. This week, both my girls were mentioned by name.  It totally made their days! So I quote...

"Olivia ****** and Kelsey Walker were everywhere in their teams nail-biter of a win "

and

"Keegan Walker, Mya *******, and Kendell ****** were the defensive stalwarts as Record fittingly recordered 11 rebounds and 4 blocks....."

Fun. :)

Kelsey Quote

During spelling, Kelsey had the word "mileage." She was extremely offended by the word having the "e" and "a" next to each other. She objected loudly, ending her comments with, "I hope I never have to spell this word again. Not because it is hard, but because it is just gross!"
So, there :). Haha.

Kelsey Quote

Kelsey, "Why did you have me come over here?"
Me, "Because you were getting ready to have an argument with your sister and I would rather you snuggle with me."
Kelsey, "But we were having a battle of the feet!"

(Catching up) The Senorita and Mushroom

Keegan and Kelsey attend AWANA regularly, and enjoy it a lot.  A while back, the church had costume night. Initially my girls were not planning to dress up, but as time grew closer (and we received a couple of texts, saying that their friends were wearing costumes,) they changed their minds.  Keegan scrounged around in the costume box and decided to go as a senorita. Kelsey chose a pattern from my favorite mommy-idea-site, Family Fun,and we spent the afternoon creating.... 

 

a mushroom hat! With her white outfit as the stem.

Pretty clever, huh?
