Shamrock Awards Party

Another great time at the Shamrock Awards Party.  There was a live band, a photo booth, and artists!  

Joelle's Last Basketball Game!

Joelle really enjoyed playing basketball this season.  Not sure what the next season will bring, but she says she may want to try flag football!!  

Gotta love the look on the faces when they get their trophies:)

Game Time-Westwood High

  

 First game of the season at Westwood High School!  The Lady Pumas won.  Megan scored a bunch of points, of course!  She played the entire game until the middle of the 4th quarter, when the Pumas were up by over 10.  

Look at the perfect form!  These shots are from both free throws, she is on point!  

And she scores some more!

Megan the Big Baller!!

So, Megan began the basketball season at Perry two weeks ago.  She has gotten a lot of great feedback from the coaches.  It all started with a talk from one of the coaches where she was told that she had a lot of potential and would probably be on JV this year (instead of the Freshman team), but the Freshman team needs her help.  She was also told that if she keeps working on her skills, it was likely that she could go straight to Varsity in her Sophomore year!!
Fast forward to last week... her coach texted her after practice and said "just wanted to tell you great job today in the post and rebounding.  You're going to dominate this year!"
THEN, her coach told her she could see her playing college ball!!  This girl hasn't even played in a full on game yet and this is the feedback she is getting!  I told her I was going to be living vicariously through her!!

Joelle is a Baller!

 A few action shots of Joelle playing ball!  

Happy Halloween!

 Joelle and Julie were ready to hit it once again.  Elsa needed the company of Raphael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to keep her safe!  We sure did run into a lot of Elsa and Annas.  

 They were so cute!  And ready to get some candy.  

 We ran into the Nortons!  Brandi used to work at my school and Quinn is in kinder this year and is in Kids Express with Joelle.  We went down a few streets with them, then it was time to head home.  

At this age, they can only last about an hour or so and then they are ready to go home.  The girls said their feet and legs hurt and they were ready to come back!!  Another successful Halloween.  

Carving Pumpkins!

Time to carve the pumpkins!  This year was the first year that Joelle was able to carve the pumpkin herself.  Daddy cutout the top and the rest was up to Joelle!

Megan is an old pro and is always trying to carve a tricky symbol in the pumpkin.  

Thank goodness for special carving tools!

This year we decided to do this inside.  I must have had some weird intuition because it was very windy as the night went on!

Hard at work.  

Not to shabby for her first jack o lantern on her own!
