BOWLING UPDATE

We started All-Stars this past weekend, with All-Stars they take the top 16 bowlers (8 girls & 8 guys) from each bowling lanes to make up the All-Stars. Every one competes against each other with no handicap.

Round 1-Saturday was at Diamond lanes and the first game went great. we got a 210, but it went down hill from there. The 2nd game was a 147 and the last game was only a 90. Now tell me how you can go from a 210 to a 90??? but that left her in 16th out of 36 going in to round 2.

Round 2- Sunday was at willow lanes, smaller center with only 16 lanes. But she held her own these 3 games, all her games were over 100 each and totaled 479. Not sure where she is at after the 2nd round. We have 5 more rounds over the next 6 weeks. Will keep you posted as to how she is doing.

She Did it!!!

Kelsey took 1st place in all her bowling events over the weekend!!!!!!

Here is how she finished:

1st place for teams event (with 4 others on her team)
1st place for doubles event (just her and another Kelsy bowling together)
1st place in singles (this was all her, she only got a 10 pin per game handicap)
1st place in over all (not sure what over all is yet, won't know till awards program)
1-highest pins over average for being 136 over her average the 1st weekend.


CONGRAT to our bowler!!!!.
It took us about 20 minutes to scrap her off the ceiling after we told her about her and then it came out in today paper.

Click here to see the scoreboard listing in today's paper (look under the subtitle of bowling). For the double event she was in Division D and for Singles and all events she went into Division C. If you want to view it and can not pull it up let me know and I will email it to you.

Post her a comment if you can or send her an email to congratulate her.

201 Game

Yesterday Kelsey finished up her 2nd half of the youth city tournament, not sure yet how she did. Her first event of 3 games was doubles, on her first game was a 201. All three games for doubles ended with a 513. The second event of three game (back to back) was singles event. Her total games she ended with a 497. So not bad chicky babe. The postings in today paper were results up through the prior weekend, this weekends are not posted yet. Going into the tournament she had a 127 average and bowled over her average each game.

Hello Everyone!!

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. We have had so much going on the last few weeks that we are having trouble finding time to get anything done. So I'll try not to bore you with all the little stuff.................

Mike's job is going really good, he has been working 50 plus hours the last few weeks. He has already pickup up several new accounts for them and the owners are very please as to how quickly he has pickup up on the business. The long hours are starting to get to him, but when he gets tired he just reminds himself that he is going fishing in March (more on that later). I recall saying in a prior posting that we needed to just sit tight and see what the lord had in store, and hope we would know it when it comes along. We let me tell you, we did see it.....him taking this new job is an answer to your prayers. Thank you everyone for all your prayer and support during his search. Mike asked me the other day if he has to wake up from this dream. I asked him what dream and he said this dream he is in with this job. He really is enjoying it. I love to see him having fun again.

Kelsey has finally returned to her bowling, she is doing really great. Last weekend she bowled the 1st half of the City tournament and her team of 5 members took 1st place. For 3 games she was 136 pins over her average. Which won her a some sort of scholarship. Were not sure all the details on this yet. She will bowl the single and doubles event tomorrow. So we are hoping she will do as good as she did last week. Then next week she will be doing the city All-Stars for the next 6 weeks. This is where all bowling lanes takes their top bowler and compete against each other. We were not sure if she was going to be able to do this since she didn't bowl in the fall, but some how things worked out and she is going to be able. Thank Goodness!!!

As for me, while I am doing pretty good, I have slowed down doing hair after work for a while. There before christmas I was working about an extra 30 hours a week doing hair. Everyone wanted to look good for all the christmas parties. Feels good to just rest, but I am now starting to get board. Found out over the holidays that my job might be merging with one of the big hospital in town. The doctors are still working it all out, so we won't know anything for a few more months. We are not sure all the details yet as to what will happen to all the employees if they do merge. I am hoping we merge, and they take all the employees. this would open up a whole new world to all of us and give some employees a chance to explore other options. I am not going to get to nervous yet, it could still all fall through.

Hug and Kiss to all

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEVON:)

Just wanted give a quick shout out to say
Happy Birthday Devon!!!

So hold your ear's and hear it goes...............

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
DEVON

Devon is one of Kelsey's friends that lives a few blocks over from us. She really is a great girl (even if I am the only one that thanks so!!!). She had been a wonderful friend to Kelsey over the last few years and I am sure they will be able to enjoy many more years of great friendship together. She turned 14 yesterday and a few of us had the pleasure of sharing a wonderful Mexican dinner with her. The dinner came complete with whipped cream smashed in her face.

Devon,
Hope you had a wonderful birthday.

Love ya,

Mike, Chris and Kelsey

Hope you like whipped cream and nuts?

Was that good?

The color matches your jacket!!!

Devon and Grant
