My dedication for the day...

My thoughts and prayers are with a friend out there named Lora Conwell.

Lora Conwell was recently diagnosed with colon cancer, for which she is currently undergoing treatment. We are raising money to try and help ease the financial burden.

Please pass this along to others you know who would like to help with donations.
**If you would like to donate please contact me or Nathan O’Brien at nateobrien@hotmail.com

***Even the smallest of donations make a difference. Make a difference in someone else's life and think about donating today.

Here's a little funny in a 'not so funny' financial market. I work in real estate and it's pretty doom and gloom right now. I am looking forward to getting some financial help out there. Anyone have $50 I can borrow? :)

Division Champs

Logan's team won their division 13-1 and now go into the tournament on March 6-8. They have a couple of non-competitive games this weekend to keep themselves warm, plus also play a scrimmage against the other Madison West team tomorrow night for more practice. I'm not sure what we'll do when the season ends. There is no talk of another sport to follow basketball now. if anyone wants to come down for the tourney, let us know. It will be fun.

A day of gift certificates...

We had a big stack of gift certificates sitting in the office, so we decided to do a little shopping with them. First we hit Best Buy for a few CDs and a new cord for Logan's guitar. Then, off to Barnes and Noble for a new deluxe Scrabble game set (we are a family who scrabbles together- and Logan won the first game on the new board too). We had this gift certificate for a comic book store by my work, we stopped in there and the guys picked up three new reads. One that Jeff licked up is The Watchmen. I guess it's a great read and he seems to like the comic book spin on it. The last gift certificate for the day was for lunch at Olive Garden (courtesy of Jenny and Vickii). We pigged out on pasta, pizza, bread sticks, and salad/soup. We rolled out of there and back home. All in all, I think we only spent a few bucks of our own. Thanks everybody for the great day.

Logan is 11-1 now in basketball

They have 4 more games to go. Then off to the tournament weekend. They are doing great out there and have improved some much as a team throughout their season. I am so proud of them all. The boys seem to love Jeff as a coach and love to give him a hard time. Last Sunday's game was a knuckle biter and they barely won 40-38. They still have to play the other lead team before the tournament and that should be a great game. Stressful, yet great! I have to remind myself not to drink coffee before the games. (I don't want to scare the parents or the kids with my sideline craziness.)
