this past week, kelsey had practice and try outs for the whs cheerleading program. they choose girls for three different squads. they have varsity, jv and jv2(freshman). kelsey was SO sore after the first night of practice. she hasn't been working that hard for a while and it was really kicking her in the butt. the practices for try outs started on tuesday and unfortunately by wednesday night, kelsey had a full blown cold, complete with a nasty cough and sore throat! poor thing. by friday evening, her voice was toast. she had to go into the gym and try and be as loud as possible, while feeling like crap! here she is before the try out, at home getting ready!
of course, she is not without her constant appendage, err...ah...phone! :)
after her try out, we raced home to pick up the rest of the family. friday was jeff's birthday and we had a winterhawks game to get to. sadly, it was the last game of their season. they were defeated by the kootenay ice. i am so proud of those boys though! they haven't made it this far in a very long time. anyway, kelsey and i hopped online as soon as we got home to see if they had posted the results of tryouts yet. they had, and SHE MADE IT! she is on the jv2 squad along with her friend makayla. she had this waiting for her in the office at school today...
the attached card says "congratulations Kelsey M, you've made the 2011-2012 JV2 squad. she was so excited! i am so proud of her. it really feels like yesterday that i was trying out for my high school cheerleading squad. i wonder if my Mom was as nervous as i was.
we have a parent meeting tonight and her first practice is thursday. not even an official freshman and it's already starting. she is so stinking excited! Me toooooo!
this weekend is our last tournament in canada for riley's spring season. the challenge cup is always a fun tourney and by the looks of it, it will definitely be a challenge. we are playing some really good teams.
this past week, wyatt upgraded his dirt bike. he went from an 80, to a 250. huge jump, but he certainly won't be growing out of it too soon. looking forward to getting some pictures of him on it at some point. he also invited a friend over to swim since we had some 70 degree weather. jeff heated the pool up and the kids have been asking to swim a lot, even in the rain! crazy kids. this is Wyatt with his friend Jadyn
nice girl. seeing them splash around in the pool is making me long for summer days by the pool. summer won't come fast enough for me! we will be starting our summer out with a trip to Maui, and then i am planning on getting some relaxing time by the pool. until then, i'd better head back to the laundry room. ugh! story of my life!
