Quiz Meet #3

The girls were given the choice of whether they wanted to play in their last basketball game or attend their quiz meet, which was scheduled at the same time. Kaylee chose basketball and Kianna chose the quiz meet. The quiz meet was over Dig Sites 1-16 on the book of Exodus. Kianna studied really hard and it paid off. She scored 58/60 earning a gold medal. She did an excellent job!!!

Winter Sports

Bulls

Tigers

Panthers

Undefeated Panthers

The kids have all been playing Impact Basketball this winter. Trace and Kaylee have really enjoyed it and Kianna is not sure she likes basketball too much. Trace was a scoring machine. His game high was 14 points. He could often be seen dribbling all over the court, doing pump fakes, crossover dribbles, and shooting. On the rare occasion he didn't have the ball he could be heard screaming "pass pass" at the top of his lungs. He was really fun to watch and is quite the little athlete.

Kaylee mastered her left hand lay-up this season and her shot is really improving. Her game high was 8 points with lots of rebounds and steals. She currently says she wants to play basketball in college. Our most exciting game was when we came back from being down 2-10 at half-time. We tied it up and ended up going into overtime. We won at the last second in overtime when Kaylee threw the ball inbounds to Isabelle Kirkendale who was at the free throw line. Isabelle turned and shot. It went in at the buzzer. You would have thought we won an olympic gold medal the way we were screaming!!!

Kaylee has also been enjoying swim club this winter. It meets two nights per week for 45 minutes. She is LOVING it. Her favorite stroke is the breaststroke. She is turning into quite the little athlete.

Mother Daughter Paint Night

The Centre hosted its first ever paint night led by Wanda Nigh of Spirited Art. The girls and I had a great time. It was fun to see the difference in our personalities come to life on our canvases. Kaylee and I are more the rule followers, so we followed the teacher's instructions. Whereas, Kianna is more of a free spirit and likes to do her own thing. The moment the teacher mentioned that people didn't have to follow her instructions and could do their own thing Kianna came to life. The finished products turned our great. I think the girls are better artists than me for sure!!!

Iowa Basketball Game

We spent the evening up in Ann Arbor cheering on our Hawkeyes as they took on the Michigan Wolverines. It was Trace's first Big 10 game and the first one the girls could remember. It was a fun night and we even came away with a victory.
