Crash and Burn

Well my personal lap top has decided to crash and burn and thus at least until Christmas I can't up load any photos. So you will have to use your imagination. As I describe some of the latest events. I am hoping to buy a new computer or get mine fixed at Christmas when I am in Michigan. Camera soft ware is in my storage unit so I can't even load it on to my school computer.
First of I was not able to keep my birthday a secret and since it fell on Saturday night - Girls Nite - there was a cake- Thanks to Kendra. The four of us finished it in two days I think. It was a great night we played with Legos. Kendra had never played with them so she kind of observed for a while but started getting into it and helped sort the parts by color. We were suppose to have a Legos Robotics Team but when the kids learned how much work was involved they lost interest (plus it was still hunting season when we needed to start in order to compete). Insert Pictures of Cake and Legos.
Last weekend I got to leave the village for the first time since August - I took our NYO (Native Youth Olympics) team to another village to compete - So I slept on a school floor and hung out in a school for two days. It was very interesting and I learned a lot. I had 5 students 2 JR High and 3 High School (2 girls and 3 boys) The boys did pretty well earning 5th place in a couple of events and one of my girls learned a lot even though she was in high school she had never competed before. -Insert Pictures of Students competing and hanging out in the gym - Due to a low ceiling in Bethel we almost got to spend a second night.
MaryJane Alecia and I have been working out about three times a week - Those of you use to working out in a gym would die if you saw what we have - 24 times around the gym for a mile (talk about stress on the knees), a set of three tier bleachers, a set of free weights 3-20pounds, an exercise ball, a couple of exercise bands and a nasty old gymnastics mat. So we have become very creative. Oh I forgot jump ropes - We all miss the gym.
well that's it for now. Have a good one.
