1st Home Game

The Cardinal boys had their 1st home game last night and what a game!  Snake River came to play in Soda ~ S.R is picked to win 5th district for 3A.  It was quite a nail bitter and even went to overtime.  Soda came out the winner - WAHOO!!  Score was 69 - 65.  Seth had a great game again - he hit 3 three point shots and was 2 for 2 at the free throw line.  The newspaper messed up the stats again and only had him at 8 points, but Emma & I both agreed at the 11.  They can't seem to get the stats right - that is twice they have messed up on his points.  Oh well, the important people know the truth.  I was very impressed with how the boys held up to the pressure - it was an intense game, and the officiating left something to be desired.  Now I sound like a whiny mom, but on nights like Friday night I worry the kids are going to get hurt if the refs don't call all the fouling.  It was an awesome game to watch and the gym was full of people cheering them on.  Home games next week on Thursday & Saturday ~ Go Soda!!!

Puttin up the tree

We went to get the tree on Thanksgiving day and put it up that coming Sunday.  Just a hint when you are putting up your tree:  Look up and see if there is a ceiling fan i the room that is on.  Yup - I forgot I had a ceiling fan in the dining room.  I put the tree right into it - no damage to the tree, but the fan was hanging by the electrical cords.  Duh!! Seth & Mara helped hold the fan up so I could get it screwed back onto the drop bar.  We cleaned it all up and finally got the tree in the stand.

cleaning up after mom

Sucess!!

The lights are finally on 2 weeks later and the decoration have been waiting for Mara to come home and help - this weekend it will finally be done.  I'm not sure it has ever taken 3 weeks to get the tree up - Oh Well, it looks good.  Now if I had some presents bought to put under it!

Cardinals @ N.G.

Took a little trip to Bancroft last night - it was fun. Soda & North Gem have not played for quite some time and due to budget we are playing teams closer to home. I think Soda was a little surprised and how good the Cowboys played - they were one of the best teams we have played so far. Soda was up by only one at half time, and made a surge in the 3rd quarter. It was a kick - Seth finally had a fantastic game - He hit 4 three point shots and really gave them a boost - Wahoooo!!! I'm not quite sure of the final ~ last score I remember seeing was 65-55. First home game tonight with Snake River.

Mara's coming!!!

Mara Mae is coming home from USU for Christmas break today ~ I get to keep her for a whole month ~ YIPEEEE!!!!
