SuperChicks

I had some fun with the girls before Christmas and we did a little photo shoot. I think everyone was pretty happy with them and the girls really enjoyed it.

West Washington School Team Challenge Campions

Millie's travel ball team, The SuperChicks, played hard this weekend and won the School Team Challenge Tournament. They lost their first pool play game on Saturday against Mitchell but won the second against North Harrison. Rick and I missed that one because we left to watch Reed play his SMK game. They earned the number 2 seed and played 3 games on Sunday, beating Mitchell in the Championship game by 1 point. It was such a close game all 4 quarters! They fought the entire time and never gave up even when they were down by 6 at one point.

SMK Basketball

This is my FAVORITE league the kids plays in. I just love it for so many reasons. Reed has had 2 games now and he has really done well. His first game last week he had about 8 points and this week he had 9. He is really hustling and paying attention to not only the ball but where everyone is around him. I love watching him this year because something has 'clicked' and he is starting to get it.

SuperChicks Basketball

Millie has started a new travel basketball team. She is in 5th grade but playing on a 6th grade team. All of the girls but 1 go to her middle school. She knew most of them already from playing softball because many of them also play for Fusion Softball. Here are some shots from their first tourney at Silver Creek.

Here are some from their second tourney hosted by Corydon but all of our games were played at Floyd Central, that was convenient. They played great and finished second place. We were very proud of them.

Merry Christmas!

Our family had another wonderful and blessed Christmas. This year really hit home how fortunate we are. I hope you all had a joyful Chirst-filled season.

Highland Hills Basketball

Millie really enjoyed her first year playing basketball for Highland Hills.  They had a full team of 15 girls and Rick was an assistant coach.  They went undefeated all season with none of the games even being close.  Millie actually outscored all the other teams 115-78 and she never played more than 2 quarters, some games even less that that.  Basketball is still her favorite sport and now that middle school ball is over, her travel team is starting.  They have a pretty full schedule until about March when softball will kick into high gear.  It's never boring around here!

Viola and Orchestra

Millie is in 2 different orchestra's...her school 5th grade orchestra and she also plays in the Floyd County Youth Symphony.  She has only played for a few months but she has improved tremendously.  Her teacher has asked her to perform in the ISSMA Solo and Ensemble competition this year.  I don't really know much about it but I guess I will find out something soon.

Both groups had their winter concerts last week and we really enjoyed both of them.  Here are some photos of her 5th grade performance...

Then a few days later we enjoyed the Floyd County Youth Symphony concert...
