Has It Really Been 3 Months . . .

Wow! I am quite embarrassed . . . Three months since I have updated our blog. What a disgrace! Let's see what has been going on in the Carroll Chaos . . .

Maddy has finished basketball (all 20 games)! We had her basketball banquet last night and she played the second highest number of minutes on the team. Her coach calls her the baby of the team because she is only a freshman. She was very embarrassed but very pleased to receive the most improved award. Great job honey!

Katie has also finished regular basketball and is now playing a little AAU (Just a couple of tournaments I'm told). She had a great season and we loved watching her play ( her awards dinner isn't until spring). If you are part of this Carroll Chaos, YOU BETTER LOVE BASKETBALL! John and I love basketball and to our great joy all our kids love it too. She is also playing club volleyball now. Wow! I never played volleyball but boy do I love to watch her play. I am pretty sure it is way more complicated than I ever anticipated. When I watch practice I am amazed they know where they are going . . . it is different all the time. She is playing all the way around and doing a great job. I am amazed how much she improves from tournament to tournament.

Johnny's little AAU basketball went really well. He played point guard and worked hard on learning how to pass to the post. It is so much fun to watch him play. LOVE IT!

In between all the sports, Madison is in Swing Choir and they give a concert almost every Sunday night with a party at someone's house afterwards. She is not crazy about singing in front of everyone but of course loves the parties. She is also in the spring musical as a Texan dancer. Can't wait to see that.

I know it sounds like all we do at our house is sport related. We do have alot of sports going on, but manage to fit in lots of special times too! We have kids at the house every weekend. Now that we finished the basement, it is lots of fun to have everyone around. I'm really glad they want to have their friends over.

We are definately looking forward to spring break. Can't wait to get some sun! I just can't believe that the girls have outgrown all their shorts and swimsuits!?! I guess I keep outgrowing mine too (ha,ha).
