Go Lady Conks!


If anyone is anywhere near the Tacoma Dome this weekend, you should stop in to check out our niece Lindsey Moore. She's playing in the girls' 4A state bball tourney starting on Weds. (@3:30P to be exact=Kentwood vs. Skyview from Vancouver). She's a 5'10" guard who already has 10+ binders of college recruiting letters & she's only a jr.! So far she's rec'd offers from Nebraska, Kansas, Gonzaga & UW-whoo hoo! WSU tried, but she rarely even lists them with the others-hahaha! We're determined to see her in purple & gold of course, but here's the scoop from the Seattle Times in the meantime: "Moore, one of the area's most well-rounded players, averages 17.8 points, 7.1 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 3.7 steals. She is the key reason the Covington school is returning to the Class 4A state tournament after last year's third-place finish. The MVP of the South Puget Sound League 4A North Division is considered one of the state's top 2009 recruits." Credit for cool pics goes to Seattle Times (she made "Star Times" basically All-Area team) in today's paper & The News Tribune from Dist. Tourney that they won last Sat. night-the shot below was taken after she drove the length of the court & made a lay-in, then stole it a second time via the inbounds pass...only to make another bucket AND 1:) Can you tell we're a lil' proud of her?

Fun to catch up! Thanks for looking up our blog. Wow! I was at the hospital right after Lindsey was born. I cannot believe how old she is. What are the other 2 girls doing?

Awesome! I wish I had arms like hers! Sorry about the slow loading, are you still on dial up? I will try to post something new once a week to make it worth your while, but no guarantees!

Rebecca,
Yeah! More family in the northwest! The weather has been beautiful. We didn't do much yard work in the fall so now we have been playing catch up. Our niece Annie is a doll! I hope we can visit them soon. The Point Definace Zoo looked like fun! Do you recommend it?

Im jealous of her...if only I was four inches taller...maybe I would have got recruited for basketball rather than cross country! I did play varsity for the Willcox Cowboys in High School (the coach thought I was good becuase I was fast...I sat on the bench for half the season)
Glad to see you already had us on your blogger friends...we just added you to ours

Sorry I am so late getting back to you! We hit up the pump it up here in Kirkland. It was a ton of fun! Do you ever take your kids to the pop in play time? How far away are you from Auburn? Maybe we could all go together!
