Mini Dribblers Basketball!

What do you get when you put 50  3 & 4 year olds in a gym? CRAZY PARENTS!!! Or Mini Dribblers Basketball in Huxley. Monday night was our first night of basketball for Reagan. This is the first year the parks and rec have offered it so it was a bit CHAOTIC to say the least :)! Reagan was all decked out in matching shoes, shorts, and shirt (thanks to her daddy and ebay!). Jon is one of the coaches on Reagan's team, but seeing that it starts at 6pm and he can't get there until after 6pm I am helping.  I asked Jon when he signed up for this if he had ever been in a room with 3 yr. olds for more than 5 minutes. I said this is what will happen: one child will be excited, one will run over to hug their mom, one will cry because they want the ball, one will do the opposite of what you tell them, one will spin in circles until they get dizzy and fall down, one will pick their nose.... etc. Well REAGAN accomplished everything on that list herself!

There are 6 teams. Each team spent about 10 minutes at each station (1st mistake!) Then they would rotate to the next station with new coaches (2nd mistake) and they ended with a team picture at 7:30pm (BIG Mistake!!). Again, first year! Next week there will be shorter stations and coaches will travel with their team and we will be out of there by 7:15!!

 At the stations they worked on : Dribbling, Rebounding, Passing, Defense, Conditioning,& Shooting.

Overall Reagan had fun, but considering she is usually in bed by 7:30 (as are most of the kids there) we got a little tired and crabby...daddy too!! Kamryn LOVED watching the action so much she slept for 9 hours straight that night!! We will see how next week goes!! Stay tuned...

God Bless Kamryn Cecilia!!

 Kamryn Cecilia Remsburg was Baptized on October 31, 2010 at St. Malachy's Catholic Church in Madrid. We had a small ceremony after mass. Grandparents, great-grandmas, and Chad & Addy Mentele were there. It was very nice and Kamryn did well until the end. She smiled so much!! Following the ceremony we went to lunch at the Country House. It was delicious!! When we arrived Aunt Shanon, Uncle Marcelo, and Michael had sent a beautiful bouquet of flowers to the restaurant.

We are SO blessed to have you Kamryn Cecilia!! Happy Baptism Day!! We love you so much!!

Halloween 2010!

Happy Halloween!! We had a busy Halloween! On October 24 we took the girls to a Halloween Carnival in Huxley. Reagan was Princess Tiana and Kamryn was a duck.  Reagan enjoyed seeing her friends, playing games, winning prizes, and eating candy! Kamryn enjoyed the warmth of her costume and took a nice nap!

 On Friday October 29 we headed to Ames to go trick-or-treating! We went to my parents neighbors and then headed over for indoor trick-or-treating at the assisted living facility where my grandma lives. Reagan had a great time and the people there really enjoyed all the kids!

 Saturday night was trick-or-treat in Slater! Some friends came over and we headed around town! My parents kept Kamryn and handed out candy. Reagan had fun walking around. She would get candy for Parker and Henry (who hung out in the wagon!) and she said hello to EVERYONE!! We lasted about an hour and then headed back to hand out candy. I think she had more fun doing that! She would say things like " hey girl" (when it was a boy), " Got any tricks?"  (thanks to Andrea), and "Watch out for the bugs!". She would also yell at the parents on the sidewalk to come up to the house. She would chase kids and keep giving them candy! It was an awesome night and we were lucky that Jon was able to come with us. This is the first year he has been off work for trick-or-treat!
