Kirsten's Favorite Sport goes on...
Kirsten played her first tournament of the new season this weekend. They had a very wet and messy Friday night. We watched them play in the rain. Kirsten was playing third base and ended up landing in a huge puddle, and still nearly got the out. She is an awesome thirdbaseman. On Saturday Morning she pitched the first game and there was not one girl that walked or earned a run...she did a great job. She also had the rare treat of having a slumber partym which she has never had before in her life. I am not big on sleep overs with all the problems that have been associated with that activity, but with all the rain it meant snow in Cedar City so we invited all of her team mates from Cedar to come to our house and spend the night. They had a great time playing wii and cards...and eating pop corn...I had uniforms and cleats from one end of the house to the other....it was great fun...we look forward to the tournament in April...Keep you all posted on where and when she will be playing again. Kirsten asked me last week if she can get a athletic scholarship and an academic scholarship...I told her she could..that she needed to set a goal to be sure she had an academic scholarship, and pick the team she wanted to play for...and learn about their athletic programs...
Kirsten is a smart girl with great goals...
Time Again for Christian's Favorite Sport!
Christian absolutely loves basketball and is looking forward to playing with his new border league team. He is very loyal to Pineview and I think he is part black cat...he is fun to watch...he has a goal to play college basketball... but to quote a smart young man, he said..."I am going to school on my brain, mom. " He is a perfect student and dedicated athlete. He is also hoping to finish his Eagle Scout Project, putting in a basketball court for the kindergarden students at Sandstone...gotta call the principal Christian :)Border League
What an exciting time for us...
Both Christian and Kirsten made their respective basketball teams...Marci's Younger sister, and Kirsten's good friend also made the team and will be playing with KiKi as well.
They really love basketball...so stay tuned for some fun photos of tense moments...
Congratulations to the two of you...and Miss Melissa too. I wasnt sure KiKi would make any team...or get to play in her tournament...she had a huge gash in her knee that required stitches...but she was able to do it all.
Sean can take credit for their basketball skills...he has been working with them since they were wee little tikes...
Sean was able to coach Christian's team last year in city league...what a special fun time...short lived but long remembered.
Study for today
10 ¶ Who can find a avirtuous bwoman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely atrust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her ahands.
14 She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15 She ariseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the adistaff.
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the apoor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her aclothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her aclothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of akindness.
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of aidleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30 Favour is deceitful, and abeauty is vain: but a woman that bfeareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Thought for today
"Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew."-Saint Francis de Sales
