What a day!

Jake has been playing on the church basketball league again this year. It has been fun to go watch them play. You would think there would be less competition since it is a church league, but they boys play hard and take it pretty seriously. Well today was the championship tournament. Our team only lost one game all season, where we forfeited because most of our team was at a scouting event or something. So Jake played at 11am, it was close and could have gone either way, but in the end our team won! Jake scored 9 points and got 3 of 4 free throw shots.

Since they won, they got to play one more game for the big championship. It was pretty one sided and we won by a landslide, but the boys from both teams played hard. This is the second year of organized basketball for the young men and this is the second time our team won first place. Go Glencoe Ward!! So Jake is hosting a viewing of the movie "Church Ball" right now. Popcorn, soda and cookies! Fun stuff. I am very impressed with the boys on our team. Many are seniors and they are such great guys. They are encouraging to the younger team members and I really enjoy watching how they all interact with one another. Our first game started with the youngest member of the team sinking a 3 pointer!

In between games we did the grocery shopping, dropped Annalina at a Birthday party, took Adrienne and her friend to the movie theater...well, it was a pretty non-stop kinda day, so I am enjoying relaxing for a bit!

This evening we had the pleasure of having the missionaries over for dinner. We used to have them every few weeks, but its been a while since they have been over. We grilled hamburgers and salmon burgers and when dinner was over they played a fun game of Mexican Train with us. One is from Tonga and the other from Ohio. Richard showed them google earth and they showed us where they are from. What a fun couple of guys! The kids absolutely adore the missionaries and I am always amazed at the wonderful spirit they bring into our home. We will have them back at the end of May, but if I get a choice, it will be sooner!
