Today was the last day of Fall League. It's been a lot of fun watching Tyler play. He is becoming more aggressive on his defense and continuing to have fun in a sport he loves. It was also nice for the kids to end with a win. I'm sure he will continue to play again in this great league.

Saturday evening we celebrated Tyler's confirmation. Our neighbor and very good friend, Donna Holmes, is Tyler's sponsor. We had everyone over for supper beforehand. Then it was off to church. 75 kids were confirmed. What a big group! Thank you everyone for making it to this special day. We truly are blessed.
After mass we got a picture with the Bishop, Walter R. Nickless.
After Confirmation we came back to the house to celebrate Grandpa's 59th Birthday. He'd been making sure I had a home baked jello cake ready for him all week. I did and it was delicious!
Sunday Grandma went to Carroll with us to see Tyler play. He scored 10 points! They only had 5 kids show up so that meant no subs. They ran the floor for the full 50 minutes! They played Carroll and only lost by 5 points, 76-81. They did a great job!

Tyler driving to the bucket.

Last Sunday and today Tyler continues to play in the Top 64 fall basketball league in Carroll. They lost vs the green team last weekend and this weekend vs Keumper. Tyler continues to get a good cardio workout while working on his defense and offensive skills.

Saturday we celebrated Rich's birthday with him at the ISU vs Texas game. Tyler brought his friend, Trey. He had never been to a D1 football game before. I bought the boys tickets so they could watch the game. Fortunately, the company and food was extra good because the game was only good if you were a Longhorns fan. Thank you so much for hosting another wonderful party.
Sunday, I took Tyler to Carroll where he has joined a Top 64 Fall basketball league. It was very good experience for Tyler to be playing with bigger, stronger, and faster kids. He kept up very well, rebounded good, scrambled for balls, and made 3 of his 5 shots. Tyler is on the red team.
