Happy 14th Birthday!

Mikayla had a good birthday. She had a bunch of friends over as you can see. They ate pizza. Played hide and seek. Ate ice cream cake. Played Twister and Outburst. Watched a movie and ate popcorn. Wow that was a lot in 5 hours! Anyway it was fun watching that size girls play Twister!

Find Rochelle

This is the complete Pom team including JV. See if you can find Rochelle? There are a bunch. She is getting ready for State Pom on Saturday, Dec. 6.

State Championship Football

Mikayla is playing in the pep band before the State Championship Football Game on November 22. It was a beautiful day. She isn't even wearing a coat. Rochelle is busy with Pom. I obviously am making them look into the sun! After the big win against Wray she is with her best buddy Kade!! The Rams are now on a 39 game winning streak. They are 39-0 and are the three time State Champions. That is a school record. Their defense only allowed 41 total points to be scored on them this entire year including the playoffs.

Happy Halloween

I dream of

Genie lives

again! Yes it

was very warm on

Halloween she only wore

a sweatshirt

that evening

too! Whitney

still loves

Halloween. She and a little friend of hers went along and they

had a lot of fun. I think the most fun is hiding the candy from

the rest of the family!

LPAA League Champions

Mikayla's 8th Grade Volleyball team finished their Jr. High career undefeated in volleyball and the LPAA League Champions. Mikayla was sad to see it end since she will not be playing volleyball in high school. She has decided to play softball in high school. She really played very well this year and showed a ton of improvement. Her only downfall was serving. She served a volleyball like she was coming from a catcher's crouch to throw out a runner at second. That doesn't make for very many successful serves!

All-Conference Honorable Mention

Rochelle had a great softball season. She played catcher for the first part of the season and then moved to shortstop when our other catcher became eligible because of the transfer rule. We are very proud of her she made 3A All-Conference Honorable Mention.

Nerd Day

This is Mikayla on "Nerd Day" She typically doesn't dress this way. She stopped by her dad's house and asked to borrow a shirt. He asked what for and she told him it was for nerd day. He told her "I don't have any nerd shirts." She said, "Dad any of your shirts will do!"

Era Day

This was "Era Day" for Homecoming Week. We have Flashdance from the 80's and well...you guessed it a basketball player from the 70's or 80's.

Homecoming 2008

Rochelle went to homecoming with Layne Crumley.

4th Grade Field Day

Whitney enjoyed field day. It was a beautiful day. She did the three-legged race, the softball throw, the hoop shoot and the long jump. She got three third place ribbons and one second place ribbon.

Beautiful Mikayla

It isn't that often we get to see just how beautiful Mikayla really is. Yes this is her all "fixed" up for 8th Grade Continuation. She was an usher and she got to go to the dance. The dress only lasted about an hour then she called for jeans!

Whitney and her buddy

Whitney got to have a picture with her buddy Duncan at the prom. It was pretty cute... she had to dress up to look "fabulous" so he would take a picture with her! He is so good with her. He always takes time with her. She will miss him next year.

Mikayla Track

Here is Mikayl's first track meet. She has shown improvement each meet. Friday she started pole vaulting. She actually likes it. On the 25th, she will do that at a meet as well.

Prom 2008

Well here she is...isn't she gorgeous?! She looks so beautiful in green. Actually there were several girls in green this year. The one picture is at the Grand March at prom. The kids went to the Atwood Steakhouse for dinner with another couple and then to prom. There was an after prom party at the event center also. The kids got home at 4:30 a.m. It sounds like they had a great time. It is 11:13 a.m and Ro isn't up yet! I will have to get her up by noon since she has to go to Sterling and work on her dance solo at 2:00.

Snowball Fight!

Winter Fun

They can look cute

Winter Formal

Been Awhile

So sorry I have slacked at my job here. I will update some photos since my Christmas letter. Ro went to winter formal and I think I have that on here and I have some other things but my camera is broken so I have to see if it can be repaired or I may have to break down and buy another one. Whitney finally scored her first baskets of her basketball career a couple of weeks ago. It was awesome!! Mikayla's team continues to dominate and Rochelle's team continues to struggle. They only have two games left. Here are some pictures of the last couple months.
