Rielee club volleyball

We saw a variety of sports this week.  Basketball from Luke and Auna yesterday, Union won in overtime, CR lost a close one.  Today we went to Salem to see Rielee play volleyball, she did great, short video here:  https://youtu.be/1W81v-2Uo4U   On the way home we stopped in Vancouver to watch Ava and Harper's soccer game.  After last week's game it was cute-I was talking to Ava about how their team is called the Gladiators and asked if she knew the name of the other team.  She said "their name was 'Home''' and when I tried to tell her differently she said "No Grandma, that was their name-I saw it on the scoreboard!" 

Riels

Rielee played Minecraft and Legos at the same time before breakfast this morning.  She assured me that she's good at multi-tasking, and can actually build faster that way.

1st soccer game

Ava and Harper had their 1st soccer game yesterday and won!  It was very exciting, the Gladiators came from being down 3-0 to winning 4-3.  They both took a turn as goalie and told us later it was boring.  They said they were tired afterwards from all the running.  Video at  https://youtu.be/AVwSehC4wN0

Sunday/Monday sleepover

 Sunday we had Rielee, Ava and Harper overnight since there was no school Monday, Ava and Harper stayed Monday night, too.  They stayed busy doing crafts, mostly Valentine-themed, all day.  It was dry out for awhile so they rode scooters and played at the playfort.  Ava fell off her scooter first thing, landing on her bottom so she went back inside to rest and watch a video.  Rielee and Harper played "kick the ball while swinging". 

 Harper wore my glasses so she could help Papa put up a new swing.

Ava measured Papa's head yesterday so she could make him a headband with matching necklace.  He was a good sport and wore it the rest of the day.   They asked to get the Valentine decorations out, then cut out and decorated a bunch of  hearts and put them up all around their kitchen.

Luke basketball

Tuesday we went to Evergreen High School to watch Luke play.  The team struggled at the start, caught up but ended up losing by a couple points.  Luke played great though.

Last night when I was fixing dinner Rielee came over and asked, no, she begged for me to let them watch a Barbie video on the iPad while they ate.  She even brought out her sad pouty lip, then called the girls for back-up pouty lips.  So I said ok, just this one time, Rielee turned to the girls,  pumped her arm and said "yes, the Gourde lip worked!"  They had their favorite dinner-potato soup.

Seahawks win

I stopped by Saturday to see how Parker and Gabe were coming along on the rental house in town.  They have everything torn out, now the remodeling can begin, Parker is having fune. 

 The Dolans, Dan and Colby came over yesterday to watch the Seahawk game.  We were all so thrilled with the win that Papa had to have a picture so we could remember our seating arrangement for next time, not that we're superstitious or anything...

Today's early morning drawing session, these girls, including Rielee,  get such a kick out of a box of new crayons.

Auna and Janelle's basketball

We got to watch Grand-niece Janelle play on JV for Three Rivers Christian tonight.  She really played great. 

Varsity played next, Auna had a great game, too.
