Corey's ER Visit

We just got back from the ER. Corey jumped up and hit his head on the lower ceiling at Kel's house. It made a moon-shaped gash in the top of his head. When we got there it had stopped bleeding but when the doctor checked it out, it began pouring blood again. They put 10-15 staples in it and wrapped his head up like a mummy. He will have to have them taken out in about 10 days. They also did a CT scan to make sure there wasn't any bleeding inside. It came back fine.

STATE RUNNER-UP

Last weekend the 22-23 of Jan. the boys competed in the 6th grade state tournament in Lexington. We came in 2nd place. We were really excited about that but the boys really wanted to win. Here is a link to an article on Columbia Magazine about it. http://www.columbiamagazine.com/index.php?sid=34616

There is also a write up about the tournament on http://www.kyprephoops.com/. Then go to Ron Harrison's blog.

We didn't have any school today due to the possibility of snow. It didn't start falling until around 2 o'clock here so we could of went today. But I was glad to have a day off.

Chance is getting ready to start playing on a traveling basketball team out of London. It is called Kentucky Elite. They have 13 tournaments between now and July. His friend Kel is also playing on it so his family and us are going to take turns taking the boys. This will help with the expenses of everything. They will play in Fort Wayne, IN, Atlanta, Georgia, Akron, OH. I think it will be a good experience for him. Two other people came up to us and have wanted Chance to play on their teams also. I think we are just sticking to the one.

Corey is doing great in school. His teacher moved him into the 6th grade level on his Accelerated Math. She sent a note in the mail bragging on him.

Kendall is growing. She seems to be getting taller. She stayed with my parents when we went to the state tournament. That helps me out a lot.

The boys have taken their bean bag chairs from their rooms upstairs. They pull them up and play the games. Right now there are two t.v.'s hooked up to games. We are planning on getting a couple more so each game system has it's own t.v. and they don't have to hook and unhook them all the time. They also have a small table, microwave, and a little frig. Oh,yeah, and the upstairs if the Nerf war territory. They have a whole arsonal of Nerf guns and bullets.

Of course, the red and black room is Corey's Louisville room and Chance's is blue and white for Kentucky. I bet you can't guess whose room the other one is??? Ha!

Another snow day!! I have had 4 snow days in a row. I am kindof ready to go back. Alot of content to cover before testing. It was nice though to have Monday off since we were gone all weekend. The boys played in a tournament in Louisville. They Won!! Kendall stayed with my parents. Thanks you mom and dad! It really made it much easier. Our electricity went out on Friday night around 7:15. I called and reported it immediately. It was just ours and Chris' parents but no one else in the neighborhood. Finally around 9:30 and 3 phone calls later, they came and fixed it within 30 minutes. The round thingy on the post near the road must have blown. They had to replace it.

I finally took pictures of some of the house since it is "finished". I use that term loosely. There are still several little things to do and not much on the walls yet. But we are living in it.

Well, I better go. I need to work on the farm taxes for a bit. Yuck!

Our First Snow Day this year! Yahoo! The boys and I both were out today. I really didn't do much of anything that would account for something but oh, well. I did do laundry of course and fixed chili for supper. Kendall had her real first time playing in the snow. We didn't stay out very long. She cried when we came in. Here are a few pictures from the snow adventure and one from Christmas.

We are heading to Louisville this weekend for a 6th grade basketball tournament. Then we will go to Lexington on the 23rd for the 6th grade state tournament.

Kendall's saying last Sunday at the breakfast table. "My hair's crazy." Her hair had static and kept gettin in her face. Funny :)
