Oh my!

Let's see what is happening in the Kindrick home. . .. . . .There has been far too much for me to report. Basketball season has come and gone.

Luke was again on a very poor team in basketball. They won only one game during the season, but then pulled off a win against a team they had lost to previously when the playoffs started. It was really fun watching him play, even though his team did so poorly.

Kennedy also played this winter. Her little team did pretty well (although they don't keep score at her age). It was Kenendy's first year playing, and it was fun to see her improve and make a few baskets as the season went on.

Elizabeth played basketball for the first time as well. For her age it is a bit more like a clinic where they teach you basic skills and then you practice what they taught. Towards the end they would play a little scrimmage against one of the other "teams". She really liked playing.

My picture taking has gotten so bad that I have very few pictures. . . . I will try to be better!!

So winter in over, and SPRING sports are here!! We kicked off the baseball season with a tournament in S. George last week for Luke's team. We decided to have him play on a "super league" team to get him a little more practice and coaching, and experience playing against some higher quality players. Luke's team ended up doing really well. Went 3-1 in the tournament. I only got one picture all weekend. . . very sad. Like I said, I will try to be better. We have a lot more baseball to come this year, so there should be plenty of opportunities for pictures.

Kennedy and Elizabeth are playing spring soccer and had their first practices yesterday with games starting next week! So let the craziness begin!! And hopefully some sunshine too!!

It has been a while since I have shown this smiling face. . . .

Mia had a great day at preschool today! I went to pick her up, and her teacher informed me that Mia shared her letter sounds with her today!! Anyone that knows Mia, knows that this is a BIG deal. She didn't talk. . . but any progress is HUGE! We have to celebrate every baby step on the way. . . I also wanted to share Mia's latest masterpiece. I love it when kids first start making people. I find little drawings all over the house. Sadly, I have to throw them away. . . .but this is so I remember down the road how cute her drawing or our family is!

Last night I was able to go hear Author, Richard Peck, speak at the Provo library with some friends from our book club. The picture of him is not great, but I found him incredibly entertaining.

"I read because one life isn't enough, and in the page of a book I can be anybody;

I read because the words that build the story become mine, to build my life;

I read not for happy endings but for new beginnings; I'm just beginning myself, and I wouldn't mind a map;

I read because I have friends who don't, and young though they are, they're beginning to run out of material;

I read because every journey begins at the library, and it's time for me to start packing;

I read because one of these days I'm going to get out of this town, and I'm going to go everywhere and meet everybody, and I want to be ready."

These are two books that he has written. Very cute, funny, entertaining, quick and definitely worth the read. They are both Newberry award winners.

As great as the talk was, what I really enjoyed was visiting and eating with friends afterwards. . . . I had told David I would be home by nine, but didn't roll in until close to eleven!!
