State Tournament

Mark's basketball team qualified for the State Tournament by winning the District Championship. They had a great season, and stayed perfect in League play. (their only losses were to non-league teams) The boys started their State Tournament at Capital High School with a loss which put them in the consolation bracket. They won their next two games and received the Consolation trophy which is 4th place. Here are a few pictures of Mark and his teammates.

Family Reunion!

On Monday, March 2, all of Shane's brothers, sisters and their spouses got together at our house to celebrate his mom's 85th birthday. We sure had a great time together. We are so proud of each of them. These 6 kids have produced 39 grandchildren, 100-something great-grand children and 3 great-great grandchildren! I hope I am not boasting when I say that our family is the BEST!

Our Girly-Girl

Now it is Monday morning and Katelyn is visiting while mom works in the office. She found some mascara in the bathroom drawer and I didn't think she could open it.....well, I was wrong. I also didn't think she knew what it was for...again, wrong. She wasn't too happy with me when I took it away and not very thrilled when I took her picture, either, and even less thrilled when I washed it off!! A 2 year old that wants to wear mascara? Yep, that's our Katelyn!

Birthday Party for Katelyn

Last night we celebrated Katelyn's 2nd birthday. Brooklyn, Cache, Cutter and Eli came. (Bellamie was home sick with an ear infection) Katelyn was so delighted when the kids arrived that she screamed and squealed and chased them around the house. Grandpa put a stop to that by closing the "circle" ...the laundry room door! Katelyn loved her gifts and the cake and all the fun.
