Jr. Jazz... at it's BEST!

Jordan had an AWESOME basketball game today! He scored 6 incredible points, and was seriously working the ball! Of course, I didn't get any of his shots on film, but they were unbelievable. He put them all in from 12 - 15 feet out! It was so cool to watch! Jordan absolutely LOVES basketball!

Jordan used to practice shooting baskets at his Pre-school teacher's house everyday after school while he was waiting for me to come and pick him up. Now, 2 years later, when the elementary school sent home information on Jr. Jazz basketball for 1st graders, Jordan almost couldn't wait until the season actually started!

The best part, is that his AWESOME Dad is his teams coach. Lee has really had a lot of fun with these kids, and I have to say.... if you're ever looking for something entertaining to do on a Saturday afternoon... take a minute and find where your local Jr. Jazz teams are playing. I guarantee you don't need to have a child actually playing to be thoroughly entertained and leave with a smile that will last all day long!

Peek-a-Boo...

NOW we SEE you!!

Leandra has been sure she needed glasses since they did the vision screening at school earlier this year. So, now that we finally have insurance again... we took all the kids in for check-ups. The results are as beautiful as ever. Leandra takes after me and is a bit near-sighted. Suprisingly, Qiyana is far-sighted. It was quite a shock, since we have never had any indication that she was having trouble seeing! She has never been one to run into things, and she has always enjoyed reading her books to me and every sign we see while driving around. I am very proud to say, however, that she LOVES her glasses, and wears them like a champ! I was honestly a little worried with trying to keep glasses on a 4-year old, but it's almost like she's always had them. She is amazing!!

We have a wonderful Optometrist who is our friend and used to live in our ward,... and it turns out we were lucky to get Qiyana in to see him as soon as we did. Apparently, without glasses to train her brain to focus BOTH eyes... it is possible that one of her eyes might never have been able to focus completely! Crazy! Anyway, my tip for all would be to have your kids checked early! It's such an easy thing to overlook, but apparently, (like so many other things), timing can be incredibly important!

I love ALL my children SOOO much, and never get enough of SEEing my 2 girls new BEAUTIFUL looks!

Getting Started...

We're finally trying to get a blog up and running to help us keep in touch with family far away! Please be patient with me as I try to figure this out... There's nothing like trying something new to make you feel like something old!!
