Ace Starts Basketball

Ok B-ball, here we go.

Time to dribble, pass and throw.

Excited to start something new.

We hope he'll score a goal or two.

 But should he not score even one... 

...the true goal really is just fun.

Snow

Made Jonathan shush

as I listened with strain.

What could that be?

He said, "Kelly it's rain." (in a mighty sarcastic tone, if I may add)

Well, we don't get much;

I'd forgotten its sound.

 Good thing I keep Jonathan

"my genius" around.

 That very same day

just wouldn't you know

another rarity fell

that thing known as SNOW!

 So I ran to the kids

Got them dressed...or, I TRIED,

slapped on their coats

and threw them outside.

 They threw up their hands

and stuck out their tongues,

& giggled and shouted

at the top of their lungs,

Of course, they got cold

and inside we did go.

Though it didn't last long

we enjoyed the snow!

Geocaching

We tried something NEW

for New Year's day.

Though it was cold

we got out to play.

 The City of Boerne

went to great measures,

to hide geocaches

so we went hunting treasures.

 It's called "geocaching"

but we call it fun.

Can't wait to repeat

now our first time is done.

 Coordinates are given

and you drive around,

using GPS

till your cache is found.

 This beginner's hunt

was great for a start.

That darn GPS

was the hardest part!

 We acted like pirates

and just had a bash,

and froze like fools

during our geocache.

(This was our attempt at being out-doorsy; which Jonathan and I always kid ourselves that we are.)
