Team Meyer

Okay. Enough already. I hate snow. Really. HATE IT. Not as much as brain tumors. Or seizures. Or cancer. But I do hate it. And we have almost a foot of it. I mean it's beautiful and all. Peaceful, quiet. At night the moon glows on the snow and it's like day in my backyard. We had sun in the middle of all this. Six degrees, but sunny. And the snow sparkled like diamond dust. But it does some ugly things. Like this: Zach got in a fender bender Tuesday. He left campus for lunch. (I KNOW! I can't believe he did that with the roads so bad, either!) And was following Greg. Kailee was following Zach. A car spun out in front of Greg, who was able to stop in time. Zach, with no ABS, slid into the back of Greg. Kailee, rather than hit Zach, slid into a ditch and took out a fence. Everyone is okay, but as you can see, the Toyota is not. And we only carry liability on it. Sigh. We drove back and forth to Richland last weekend as the snow started. We went to a basketball to

Hadley Fox Eight years old Princess in every way Died today.... Godspeed, Hadley Unbelievable sights Indescribable feeling Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling Through an endless diamond sky A whole new world Don't you dare close your eyes A hundred thousand things to see Hold your breath - it gets better I'm like a shooting star I've come so far I can't go back to where I used to be

Yeah. Nuff said. Oh be quiet. If you were me, you'd think that, too. Sorry for the delay in blogging. Been keeping up better with Facebook. Oh, Pet Society...the bane of my existence. I'm obsessed. It's a truly sad story. Now for the real news. Kenny had a seizure. Not a small one. A big one. Got up in the morning, went to the bathroom, headed back to his room to get dressed and ended up convulsing in Kate's doorway. Kate was brave and calm, she called 911 and answered all the questions, while I got Kenny into the "rescue position." He stopped breathing at the end of the seizure, and scared me by turning blue, but I was able to get him breathing again. Thanks, Tad Calwell and CPR. Kyle flashbacks. Dave flashbacks. The ambulance came. Rocky Eastman was the first through the door. I had an immediate sense of relief. The paramedic uniform reminds me of my dad, makes me feel safe, like everything's going to be okay. Wrong. They took Kenny into the

Hi everyone, Wow...lots has happened since my last blog. First, Kate had a tournament. The girls have improved so much. It was so much fun to watch them. They beat teams that they used to lost to or struggle against. We had a few blow-out victories, and one loss by 16 points to Ephrata Heat. We faced the Heat again for the championship and only lost that by 6 points to take second in the tournament. It was a lot of fun. Even if it was in Hermiston. And last night was the football banquet. What an incredible night. The boys got their varsity letter awards and were recognized for a great season. Zach will be starting again as a senior on defense for sure and hopefully at running back on offense as well. Kenny and all the seniors had an emotional night. They are a tight group. We moms decorated at Whitman and we all made posters showing for our senior. Kenny's had some great pictures that Brian Gaines took. And also some of the cutie-pie pics from when he was a blonde

Before we get to football, look: HOW CUTE IS SHE?????? And quite the spiker, too! And then... Wow... Our boys went to Kennewick last night and faced undefeated Southridge. They were amazing. Last week, we went to play Moses Lake. Creamed them. It was AWESOME. Because, next to Richland, we hate Moses Lake the most. Zach has moved up into a starting role, starting several weeks ago when we played Richland. He's stayed right there, playing almost every single defensive down. He's loving it. He was interviewed for the radio by Scott Reardon, who played basketball with Dave in high school. It was an awesome interview. Who knew? The kid is quite articulate! No mumbles, no "uuuhs" or "uuummms." Very cool moment. Here is the interview, along with some random pics from the season: Kenny has been losing his voice every week, cheering everyone on. He's been so excited by how well WaHi has done. This is the first time in 4 years we've been in the
