Little Dribblers

The 3rd and 4th graders are able to participate in an activity called Little Dribblers. It's where they learn skills with a basketball and preform little tricks and things during half time of a ball game at school. This is Hunters last year, because next year he will get to play real basketball! He can't wait.

This is Hunter with his best buddy, Trevor, right before their last performance


This is Hunter with his (girl)friend, Karlee. He was very excited to get his picture taken, as you can tell!


They got special treatment, by the Senior High Cheerleaders, since it was their final one.

Valentines Day Part 2

Instead of the normal steak dinner for two, Greg and I took all the kids bowling. We took Katelyn, Hunter, Dominique, Hannah, Kaylee and Karlee. They all had a great time. We ordered pizza, burgers, potato skins and cheese sticks and everyone pigged out.

Then the kids got tired of bowling, and asked if they could "play bowl"...I had no idea what that meant, but soon, I figured it out...


Greg and I thought it looked like fun, so we joined in. There's Hunter throwing between Dad's legs....
This is Hunter bowling between my legs...I was a little nervous.


This is where the majority of my money was spent, the arcade.

Valentines Day-Part 1

Valentines day morning, I got a text from my cousin, Erin, that her precious baby (Emmaline Valentine) was on her way.

This is their first born and I must say, Erin was the cutest pregnant woman I have ever seen. I remember when I was pregnant, I didn't have any cute maternity clothes and I gained way too much weight to just rubberband my jeans together, HA!

Congratulations Erin and Jeff (and Bruce) I hope to see you all soon!

A Snowy Day, by Hunter Harp

This is a story that Hunter wrote about the Ice storm...I thought it was great and wanted to share it.
Enjoy

Snowy Day

One Monday night on Jan. - 26 - 09. There was a huge mix/ice storm. When we woke up there was a huge tree on the ground outside our mom & dads bedroom my dad was at work and our power still worked. We were surprised of what we saw outside!!! Because we saw all our trees covered in ice but the bad part was the trees wore bending down because of the weight of the ice on them. After a while our power shut down. So we went next door to our grandma’s house. Because they had a generator there. Our dad was at work and they ordered a generator but on the way the generator flipped over and broke on the way to Harps. So they ordered another one so he waited from 9:00 P.M. ~ 4:00 A.M. in his truck no sleep at all either. Back at our grandma’s house we were watching Ace Ventura pet detective it’s a really funny movie to. We called my dad and said when you get home just heat up the chili but that was before we knew he was going to stay over night. That night our dog Macie every time a tree or a tree branch fell she would bark so that night I didn’t get much sleep at all. That day at about 1:00 our friends Kole, Kevin, Donnel, and Dominique came over for a little while. When they left we started watching movies again and TV that’s when it still worked. Because that night before we went to bed we were watching TV then it went out. So we went to bed. The next day we didn’t do anything but watch movies and go outside and at 8:00 dad got back home. We were so exited then he took a shower and he didn’t scream when he came out he said it was so cold then it got warm!!! We all said me next then all of a sudden the power went out. So we went to bed. The next morning the energy was here and they said if you power isn’t on in a little bit it will tomorrow morning we were so exited!! So we went to bed and at one o’clock they said the power came back on. My family were glad because we finally go to go back home!!!! So there you have it that’s the Snowy Day for you.



HA! Isn't that great?!

Ice Ice Baby

It was a crazy week around here this past week. After a huge ice storm on Monday night, we were without power for 3 days. Let me tell you, I didn't like it one bit! We ended up staying at Greg's Mom's house, because she had a generator, thank goodness! I don't know what we would have done without that! I'm so thankful that our power is back on, and I feel so sorry for those who are still without power! Hopefully it will all be back to normal soon.

Here are a few photos from our home. We had a lot of land damage around here, thankfully nothing happened to our home.


Our circle drive, which is now a one way drive.

That is our driveway/road to our house.
