Basketball Banquet

 Palmer had a great year on the basketball team.  He definitely got more confident and scored in nearly every game.  Palmer is coachable and a hard worker, I am so proud of all the has accomplished.  He received the academic award for the high GPA on the freshman team (4.0)

 Region champions!

Palmer loved that Jackson Butler from our ward was on the varsity team.  Palmer loved hanging out with him!

Sawnee Father Daughter Dance

 I was asked to do the Sawnee Father Daughter dance this year.  This was such a huge job and I have to be honest that I am glad it's over!  Our theme was Candy Land.  We had it at a building that wasn't super pretty, so we had to decorate it like crazy.  This balloon arch took me 4 hours!  I love how it turned out though.

 Lots of the pictures ended up blurry...not sure why.

 I really do think that it ended up pretty magical looking.  We decorated for a week!

 Peppermint Forrest.

 Licorice Forrest.

 Photo booth props

 We had fruit infused waters, but I didn't get a picture after they were filled up.  They were so pretty1

 Candy buffet

 My sweet neighbor Jeanette is so talented!  She made these 7.5 feet tall ice cream cones out of paper mache!

 Jeanette also made these 3 feet tall gumdrops (out of dollar store laundry baskets) and huge lollipops out of pool noodles and pic pipe (we made 52 of them). There were serious candy props!

We had lots of cardboard cutouts of Candyland characters, but I didn't get pictures of them.  I really love how it turned out!

Fowler Champions (Lincoln)

Lincoln's team (coached by Josh) was also undefeated (Hunter's was too) during the regular season of games at Fowler.  They also won the "A" bracket basketball tournament by a lot! (45-21)

 It's always fun to see the boys get to be with Dad!

 This was such a good team and they were all really nice kids too!

 Two buddies (Sam Connors). It was a great season of basketball!

Fowler Champions (Hunter)

 Hunter's team was undefeated in regular season games and they won the A bracket tournament...by a lot!  Josh was the head coach and his best friend Aden's dad was the assistant coach.  The team was all really good friends and had a great time this season.

 The two teams in the championship

 For some reason the boys always want to bite the trophies they win :)

 McKay was the camp mascot, so he had to get a trophy too.

 Best buddies.  Aden has been such a good friend to Hunter.  We are glad they have each other.

The champion himself!

McKay Cub Scouts

 McKay has been so lucky to get good scout leaders.  He loves Cub Scouts so much and told me he wishes every day were Wednesday because that is the day he goes to scouts.

 They always have fun activities that the boys love.  They had a paper airplane throwing contest.

For Christmas they went to an assisted living center and sang to the residents.  It was a special experience.

We have been so grateful for wonderful leaders!
