Kailyn's Speech Success

Great news!  Kailyn has officially qualified for both her poetry and original oratory in Speech & Debate this year, which means she's headed to regionals in March.  She scored 2nd place at the Jenks tournament for poetry, and scored a beautiful silver platter (what were they thinking?!?), and this past Saturday placed 3rd at the Bixby Green Corn tournament.  McCracken told her next year she'll need to make it for 3 events - last year was one and now this year it's two.  Woo Hoo - Go Kailyn!

We also went over to the Mantles on Saturday - Kevin had the BIG birthday!  Lisa did a fantastic job with the Mexican spread.  He was truly surprised!  I kept trying to figure out a cute, unique gift - I would ask Ken, what would you want for your 50th birthday (which is going to happen soon!).  Finally, I discovered the candy idea.  Below is a picture of what Ken and I came up with.  We thought it turned out pretty clever.  Kevin seemed to like it too.
