So basketball is HUGE to our family. Kelly coaches, both the kids play, and I'm a happy observer. Ok, and sometimes a rabid fan (don't tell anyone). Tonight Kelly had open gym at the Middle School. Jake loves it. He shoots the whole time we're there, and talks trash to the high school kids (sounds just like his dad!). Kaitlyn shoots around also, and keeps me company while I watch. Tonight Jake hit some pretty amazing shots while playing PIG against Kelly, including a three-pointer with his eyes closed!! On purpose! Princess Kaitlyn made 15 shots, all while wearing her beautiful dress! And I would be in big trouble with my husband if I didn't pass on this story...we had the coaches over the other night for a back yard fire. Coach Erik asked if he could make a long distance call on our phone. Kelly said only if it was important (joking, of course), and he replied that he needed to call Bobby Knight!! I don't know what was funnier...all the adults crowded around the phone to listen to Coach Knight talk, or Kelly dialing my cell phone afterwards because Jake threatened to hit redial so he could talk to him! 
Ok, so it's not just for Stephanie, it's for all of our family and friends that would like to keep up with our busy lives. But I never would have started this blog if hers wasn't so awesome and I didn't read it every day and smile (Kelly calls me a stalker, so rude!). I am new at this whole blogging thing so bear with me! We actually had some sunshine here yesterday, so we had a fire, roasted hot dogs, made s'mores. We even threw around the football and the kids kicked around their soccer ball. It's days like this that we're reminded that living in soggy Southeast Alaska isn't so bad...even the view from our back yard was nice!!
