Reverse layup!!

This is our grandson Evan in a game with Cedar Park Christian High school doing a reverse layup. They have been having fun playing the game and haven't been winning all their games but that is OK.

We are very proud of Evan as a young man and also the way he conducts himself on the basketball court. "GO EAGLES"

Basketball, basketball!

1-10-11 - We have been in basketball mode ever since we had our last Christmas get together. We have watched two of Evan's games. One game was played at Granite Falls and we won the game, like 63 - 40. Evan had a good game and scored about 9 points. They started a little slow but came on and had a good game.

Then Evan's next game was with Bellevue Christian and it was played at Cedar Park. The gym was full and our team again started slow and at halve time were down by about 15 points. So there was work to do and we came out in the second halve, did a much better job with the basketball, with fewer turnovers & started scoring more points. Evan hit three (3') in the 4th quarter and closed the gap to about a 4 point game. In the end we did lose 50-44 but the guys played a great second halve and Evan ended up with 12 points. So they could hang their heads high and will be ready for their next game.

Have also watched Jessie's team play a game against Meridian High school. The girls won the game by about 30 points and Jessie could about 5 points. The team is so well balance with a really good bench. So the coach can bring in fresh girls and keep the other teams on the run.

We are now counting down for our trip south again. Will be going south with Sherry & Doug Smith in their motor home. Will be leaving on the 12th of January. Then when we get to Williams, CA will pick up our car and will be on our way to Surprise, AZ

Snow is being forecast before we hit the road so not sure how our schedule will work out but will be watching the weatherman & see if the road will be clear. That's it for now.

Oakland Tournament is History!!

1-01-11 - We left at 7 AM from the Woodfin Hotel in Emeryville, CA at 7 AM and headed north towards 1-5 north. After traveling about 104 miles arrived at the town of Williams, CA. We had arranged to store our Geo Tracker in the Police Station at Williams. We have stored our car in the police station parking lot. I had arranged with the lady in the police station to leave our car there.

We then came the rest of the way home with Lisa & Dwayne. We arrived in Bothell at about 9 PM. We spent the night with the Scholtens and then the next morning traveled to Lynden for our Gienger Christmas. We had a very good time with family and got some nice Christmas gifts.

Then on 1-02-11 we had another Christmas get together with the Crabtrees and was a good day with lots of good food, great gifts and a good time. The families involved in this gathering was the Biesheuvel family, Gienger family, Smith Family and the Scholten Family. So Pam and Brett had a full house with lots of food and good gifts. We have to remember why we were all here to celebrate the birth of our lord "Jesus".
