Hoop Shoot

Josette won the hoop shoot in PE at Parras.  She then advanced to the Elks National Hoop Shoot at Redondo High School.  She came in 2nd place for the most free throws.  Now she'll advance to the next level on January 9th at Torrance High School.  If she wins, she'll be invited to Hoop Shoot at the Clippers half time show.  Go Josette!

Thanksgiving

There are so many things I'm thankful for with the most important being family.  I have a big one!  Growing up in a family of 7, there was little time in my world for peace and quiet.  Although I crave it sometimes... I really wouldn't have it any other way.  With 4 kids, our home is always loud and lively.  When we all get together for the holidays, it's even bigger and better.  My Mom does a great job hosting.  There's anywhere from 30 to 40 people at our gatherings.  I'm very thankful to have so many loved ones in my life... family and friends and I love that our kids have a boat load of fun loving cousins.  When I say I'm thankful... I'm thankful to God for making it all possible.  God puts joy in my heart!  Making a habit of thanking God through prayer helps me realize just how many blessings I have in my life.  This Thanksgiving and all year long I will continue to be grateful for family, friends, health, safety, freedom, food, shelter, laughter and my loving and forgiving God!
