2012 Update

Me on the Warroad River.

So far so good for 2012!

Here's a quick update of the Kirby Krew.

-Hockey continues to go well for Emma and Logan. Emma had a hat trick in her last game and Logan scored two goals.  Does this mean that they are NHL bound? Not yet but pretty soon scouts are going to start dropping in....  Besides, Coach Daddy will only talk to the Wild at this point.  

-Kirby's basketball team beat BRAHAM this past week.  Yes, the tigers beat pie town on their own court.   Only one more game left in the season.....then Kirby is done with after school activities until next Fall. Yup, that's right, no umping this spring (taking a year off) so I will no longer be on kid pick up duty/supper duty/dog duty alone until he gets home. Wahoo! Looking forward to more time at home with all of us there. 

-I've got my first JO Volleyball tournament of the season coming up......Would rather be playing but I'll coach instead. It's a fun group of girls and I'm excited to see how they do. 

-Emma is moving up to the high reading class next week.  She is soooo excited!  She's been working hard and has been at the top of the middle group for a long time and the teachers finally decided it was time to move her.   In order to do so she has to catch up with that group and has 50 stories to read!  But, she's been working hard and is almost done... Great job Emma!

-Logan is doing well in preschool and it's fun to listen to him almost count to 100 on his own (just a few mix ups in the 80's) and start to sound things out as well.  He's been working on reading to me at bedtime which is the cutest thing ever AND  he continues to show his fellow classmates new dance moves during their music time.

-Tyler is in the midst of his basketball season AND just got his braces off.  He told me his teeth feel bare naked now.  

-Raider has just been signed up for obedience school.   It's not that he's a bad dog, he just needs to learn some manners.  So, on Tuesday nights for 8 weeks, he and I have a date night.  (If you have seen the movie Marley & Me where they take him to obedience class......don't worry, he's not that bad.)

-Next up.....Father/Daughter dance is coming up. Emma is so pumped to have a date night with her Daddy.  Pictures soon!

We hope all our readers are healthy and happy!
