Kirby came over last weekend and we were in the kitchen talking while Kysa was out playing in the backyard with Kirby’s dog Poot. We heard Kysa yelling and looked outside to see her hanging from the monkey bars. Kirb bolted out the door to save her, but Kysa let go before Kirby could get to her and definitely wasn’t happy. She hurt her right heel and limped for the next 24 hours or so. She tells everyone, “I falled off the monkey buys” and then frowns. (Kysa can’t really say her r’s yet!) I haven’t seen her climb up the monkey bar platform since, that’s for sure. I hope it can slow her down for awhile.
Ty And I figured that someone would get hurt on the built-in playset at this house sooner or later, I just didn’t think the first injury would be from my two year old trying to do the monkey bars by herself!
Raleigh asked if I could call the Guinness Book of World Records because he and Olivia shot 4000 baskets over the weekend and Grandma Ro’s electronic basketball hoop game. He told me we needed to take a picture of it. Here it is, for the RECORD! 
Ty finished up a whirlwind month and summer has finally arrived for him as of Saturday night. Now he has the pleasure of helping watch the kids so I can put in a few more hours at the office over the next month. I thought I'd post a few pictures of the weekend activities at Grandma Ro's house. 
Kysa and Shay are constantly battling it out. I'm so thankful when they actually get along. For some reason they both thought it was hilarious to drink the water that was dripping from the hydrant. They were giggling like it was the funniest thing in the world and all of us got a kick out of it.
It doesn't help that she's teething. She has had a fever on and off this weekend, and I'm pretty sure it's becaue of those teeth coming in. 
My former teammate Atim Otii from San Diego State is doing something really cool--she is in Uganda preparing for a humanitarian basketball camp in Gulu that she has organized. I would LOVE to be in a position to go to Uganda someday and help , but since I can't right now with my family responsibilities I spearheaded an effort to get some basketball jerseys donated from kids in Idaho Falls. Most of the jerseys came from the Skyline basketball camp with the exception of quite a few that came from a teacher who lives in Shelley. I am finally getting the jerseys RUSH delivered to Denver so they can make it on the June 26th flight with Atim's group that is headed to Uganda from the United States. Anyway, as I was organizing the jerseys tonight I was excited to find out that we have at least twelve sets of 7 or more MATCHING jerseys that are in really good shape, so I think Atim will be able to make good use of them. It was also a very strange coincidence that as I was organizing the jerseys Ty turned on a TLC documentary about a young boy from Uganda who had some life-saving surgery in the United States.
The 2008 Skyline basketball camp attendees came through big for NAI Commerce One broker Kaly Shippen this week, donating 150 basketball jerseys that will be given to kids in a war-torn region of Uganda this summer in conjunction with humanitarian basketball camps being organized by Kaly's former San Diego State basketball teammate Atim Otii.
Skyline's star center Robert Edwards even donated a collector's item #23 Michael Jordan jersey that will be a treasured prize for any kid.
