NPCC Christmas concert

On Thursday night, Cassidy and I went to North Platte to watch Kiane and Sasauna sing in the North Platte Community College choir's Christmas concert. There were some beautiful voices there. I had a deja vu moment, when Kiane started laughing during one of the songs....it seems like only 10 years or so ago that she did that at a Palisade concert!!! It just goes to show they grow up, but they are still little girls to me"The Cousins" .... Sasauna, Kiane, Kaleia, Cassidy and Leiauna

"The Sisters" ... Kaleia, Kiane and Cassidy

"The Roommates".... Shaylee, Ryann and Kaleia

"The Couple" .... Kiane and Eugene

Cassidy and her first junior high basketball game

Cassidy had her first jr high game in Madrid on Thursday. Wow. It has been a looong time since I have had anyone playing junior high basketball. It was exciting though. The A team lost but B team won. As you can tell below, Cassidy and her friend, Jasmyn, had a lot of fun!Cassidy and her very first free throw. Unfortunately, she didn't make this one...
but here she did!!

If the pictures had loaded correctly, these last three pictures would be in great order. The shot, mid shot and whoosh! basket made. I have an idea....let's just pretend they are in order as you look at the following shots!

Half Time Fun...

Recently Staci, Chase and I went up to watch the girls play basketball. Every once in a while, the NPCC guys play the same night, and so we decided to stay and watch Eugene play too. NPCC has a tradition, it seems, to have elementary school kids play with the basketballs during half time on the courts. Well, of course, Chase (being the sports nut that he is) had to participate. I thought okay, that is cool, no shyness in that boy! Then, I was amused to see that Kiane went down to play with him...then Kaleia.....and of course, Staci couldn't stay put in the stands either! Only they were the only people out there over the age of 12!! They originally went to play with Chase, but other little boys started to ask if they could play with them too. So, there you have it.........three tall Alberts' girls and kids who aren't very tall.
