More of Jordan's room














Jordan put yorkie pics all over the back of her door. We also just finished up decorating her bulletin board and got it put up. I picked her up the Love sign yesterday while shopping with Grandma Margie and I also found stickers that matched her border, so she decorated her trash can with them!! She got the "Sweetie" recently too.

More pics of Dakota's room







Finally got Dakota's border in (it was on back order) and we got it all put up. So here are a couple shots of the border and one of her wolf drawer pulls!!






Time for an update!!

This has been a busy month!! The girls have started volleyball. They practice on Monday and Thursday nights. They will be having games on Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday. (as far as I know right now) Jordan was having gymnastics on Monday nights also, but her gymnastic coach was nice enough to have a small class meet on Sunday afternoons so the girls don't have to choose between volleyball practices and gymnastics. So - that is nice for Jordan to not miss volleyball on Monday nights, but makes for one more trip to town for me each week! lol

I went to Dodge City with Grandma Margie yesterday, we had such a good time. We got to do some shopping and have lunch and visit. It was great. We're planning on doing it again soon!!

This weekend the girls are going to Winter Jam (a Christian concert) in Tulsa. They are spending the night with Nelle and her family on Thursday and leaving from there early on Friday. They won't be home until late Saturday evening. They are really looking forward to it!

Looks like March is going to be a very very busy month too!! I'll blog about that later! :o) Hope everyone had a great day!!!

Way to go Jordan!!!!!!!

I am so proud of Jordan!! She went to an academic bowl (tournament of champions) today in Guymon and she won 2nd place!!!! She won a medal and now she gets to move on and compete in the next round. That will be held in El Reno on April 18th! We are so excited and so proud of her!!! She competed in Science and English both. She won 2nd in the English and 6th in the Science. So she moves on with the English!!

Time for volleyball!

Well, with basketball season over, it's time to start volleyball!! Another happy but sad time - I love watching the girls play volleyball and they love to play. They are both really good!! So I'm very happy that volleyball season is here and I can't wait to watch the games. But a little sad, because this will also be the last season for them to play volleyball. They play in Guymon with the Guymon Kid's Inc. But the last year they can play is 6th grade, so this is it! Just way too many last things happening this year! I'm not liking it! lollll I would give anything if Hooker would start up a volleyball team within the school system, but I really don't see that happening. Guymon has one, but we don't want our girls going to school in Guymon! So - here's to hoping that they have a great last season of volleyball!! Sign ups are the 9th, then practices will start and games will be throughout the month of March!!

Tournament of Champions!!

This coming Saturday (7th) Jordan will be going to Guymon to compete in the academic bowl "Tournament of Champions" She is a little nervous, but I'm sure she will do great!!! Wish her luck!!!

A happy, but sad day!!

Well, today the girls had a basketball game - the happy part: WE WON!!!!!!! My girls did awesome!!! Dakota scored 10 points, and Jordan scored 6. Nelle scored the other 4 points for a total of 20 points!! It was one of those games that if coach had left our starters in more, we'd have completely slaughtered them. But he took the starters out and put in the 4th grade girls. We still won 20 to 15 though! It was 20 to 1 when he took our starters out! lol Now for the sad part: It was the girls' VERY LAST basketball game that they will ever play for Straight Grade School!! And for Coach Harris. So, while I'm thrilled we won today, I'm also a little bummed that it's all over. Of course they will play next year in Hooker too, but we are just really gonna miss Straight School and Coach Harris!! Congratulations on a great season girls!!!!!!!
