New Lens to use at games!

Well....I got a new lens..and wow does it make a difference!
Look at this sign all the way across the court! I can get this close to it now!

This is using the "OLD" lense, which is a regular lense, for taking normal photos..I can't get up close, and I think this is the closest I can get to the game.












Now with the NEW lense, I can get closer to the players. You can see how much better you get shots!

This was a short time Tori played in the game. She didn't play long, but....we were losing anyways.
You can see Carly Lindley in the back..she's number 5 for Poly High School.

This is Tori guarding this girl. She was

tall, fast and Good!

Back into Basketball

It was a hard game, and they were behind 13 points at one time and it looked bleak.

But they all pulled through as a team and make a very rough game turn into a hard fought win.

The score was 42-41 against Lakewood. Everyone pulled in and made good plays and key baskets to win their first game. It was hard after their first 2 losses against Cabrillo and Jordan High School.

Dear Teacher....

Dear Teacher...

I would love to turn in my homework,

I really find it fun

I sit and clear my desk to work

to complete it and get it done

I have no time for play

I diligently make the time

I wish it could last all day

so I can't spend a dime

But when I sit down and do it

from top to bottom and still

My friend my cat comes to sit

he goes against my will

He wants all my attention

from morning noon and night

He stays and wants to be petted,

rubbed and brushed until

He gets hungry and then he leaves

me covered with his fur

yes, this is really my cat, and he says I can't do my homework.....

Filming on our Street!

Today, they are filming a commercial for SNICKERS on our street, almost in front of our house!

They have tons of people standing and moving and working...getting ready for shots of the truck to go through the house. I missed most of the action (at the gym) but got the before and after shots!

Yes, it is supposed to be MR. T...but it is a stand in. There was a 'dummy' Mr T who was in the truck when it crashed through the house, but then this guy is there for the truck to chase after people on the street and shoot.....

snickers bars at them......

How High is it?

A friend on a stamping site, shared this story, and so I thought I would post it on this site, since it pertained to BASKETBALL! I think that we all get disappointed, and think that we have to hit the goal, but if it was so easy to do, would we feel the challenge? Would we think this was worth it if we didn't strive to do our best..? or keeping challenging ourselves to make the basket?

I think Tori is getting challenged right now, being on the team and not being a starter. She is getting disappointed. She needs to work up to the challenge and make the team a priority...

I hope she can....

I know she has it in her, and she's reached so many goals working on her projects, and completing them without my help now. I am so proud of her....the stress of the years past are finally coming together....if she can keep her eyes on the basket..and the goals...

I love you Tori.....

Love,

Mom
