Basketball and goldfish

Jake's Basketball team practice:
The first practice the coach asked the kids to dribble around some cones. Jake immediately set the basketball on the ground and started kicking it around the cones. I guess we got our soccer star in the wrong sport. With a little clarification about dribbling being different in soccer and basketball, all is going much better! Jake is #30 and yes, his jersey is on backwards.
And here is Afton and Jake's playdough cake creation, complete with goldfish decorations. I think I caught them before they ate too many of the goldfish afterwards...

So how does Jake like basketball? Asher didn't really like soccer so I think we'll try swimming next.

Quick thoughts

So I'm finally up with the times and have my own blog. You'd think if someone was a "webmaster" that they might be current with a full family history...

Now I'm frantically searching my mind for all those clever things my kids did and all those life changing thoughts that would really help all who read my little blog. Nothing.

Just two quick stories about both kids. Maybe then I can feel at ease knowing that my children's lives are adequately documented.

Jake has always been interested in numbers. He loves to ask random people (fellow shoppers at Wal-Mart, those who happen to stop next to us at a red light, etc) what their address is. Finally Jake discovered his life calling when we went through the Wal-Greens drive thru to pick up a prescription. Jake decided he would like to be the teller asking people for their address to verify their getting the correct prescription. We are in the process of getting him a store job application right now.

Afton has profound moments when I realize just how fast she is growing up. This week she saw a little girl walking with just her mom. She pointed at the little girl and said "Ohhh, that little girl doesn't have a brother." Let's just hope she always appreciates that she has a big brother!
