The Second Great Flood...

Believe it or not it happened again. I woke up at 5:00 a.m. on Sunday morning to sounds which reminded me of Niagra Falls. I had to swim around the basement to find out exactly what the problem was...I found out that our water heater had busted and water was gushing out of it - all over my basement. I swam into the guest room, then into the bathroom, then to the rec room, and finally to the storage room...it was an incredible mess.

The first thing I did was I opened up the basement door to let some of the water out...then I went to Home Depot to buy a wetvac...it was like trying to empty out the Atlantic Ocean with a spoon. Later on we had some guy come over to clean up the rest of the water. Today it looks much better in my basement...the carpeting soaked up all the water...

Here's a video of the 8 fans and the one humidifier I have in the basement now. I have a plumber coming over at 2:00 to put in a new hot water heater...by 4:00 p.m. we should be back to normal...

Another busy weekend...

We had another busy weekend...we hosted a "Walking Wisely" weekend for Kelsie's Church Small Group. Walking Wisely is a weekend activity for Kelsie's church youth group where they spend time learning about God, having fun, and eating ALOT of junk food. They used our house as their home base...what this means is there was alot of screaming girls in my house over the weekend keeping me up until 5:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Cameron had his first basketball playoff game on Saturday. He had his best game - he had about 6 rebounds, he scored 2 points, he made several excellent passes, and he played tough defense. His team won 21-18.

Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures but...I did spend some time over the weekend sorting out old videos. I came across several old videos of Kelsie and Cameron. I forgot how cute they used to be...it's amazing how quickly things change...

Pretty please...

Would someone PLEASE give this boy some Wheat Thins!!!

Let's do it...

Hey! Let's not start that again...

Another busy weekend...

We had another busy weekend. Cameron had a basketball game on Friday - we won't talk about that...He had another game on Saturday - his team won about 32 - 20. Cameron played another tough defensive game and he made a number of excellent passes. After his game we bought a new bat for Cam - paying for it with the gift certificate Santa gave him this past Christmas. We then rented out a batting cage for 30 minutes to break-in the bat.

On Sunday Kelsie had a Horse Show - she came in second place in her class!!!! Her second place finish was the highest finish on her team. Below is a short clip from her show...

Cameron had baseball evaluations on Sunday. They were given 6 swings, and 5 plays in the field. For the boys who want to pitch they were given 5 pitches. Based on these swings, plays, and pitches the teams will be chosen...

Here's a few more clips from Kelsie whopping Cameron's friends in arm wrestling...Kelsie's a throw back to a time when woman were woman...
