Let the Spring Business begin!

Last night was Taylor's 1st track meet. Which means my first spring athletic trip also. Our HS kids ran against 1 other school, but there were 4 schools total at the meet. Our team was the largest, which is huge since last year there were only 6 girls on the team. Both the boys and girls' teams won! Taylor did a great job. Got her first meet jitters out.

Look at that stride!

Taylor is the one towards the back of the pack clear to the left. Her time in the 100m was 14.1, which we think is better than her fastest time last year. Our top girl sprinter was only .3 away from the State Meet qualifying time. Everyone is looking forward to a great season.
Alex had his first soccer practice tonight. His first game is Saturday at 9 am. Taylor has an invitational meet that we have to leave for at 8:30, plus prom is Saturday night. Her mom is taking her to get her hair done after the meet. So it's going to be a busy weekend.

Soccer, Cross Country and a Beleated Birthday Party

And that is all in one day!

Alex played against his old soccer coach for the past two years on Saturday. Alex's team the Tigers won 5-2, and he scored 3 goals! We are afraid he might be developing an asthma issue. He could hardly breath after his game yesterday and was pretty scared, as was I.


Mariah is running on the Middle School's Cross Country team, and they had a meet yesterday. Mariah placed 23rd out of about 45-50 girls. Her time was about 40 seconds slower that her meet earlier in the week, but it was a hot muggy day on Saturday and she walked more because of that. We are glad she's out there participating and excited to see how she does.

After Alex's soccer game he had a belated birthday party at the local bowling alley. 4 boys and 1 girl came. The poor girl was bored out of her gourd! All the boys were talking about was wrestling, and just being dorks, so her and I hung out. She rides my bus so I know her pretty well. She's a great girl.


We broke up into teams 3 vs 4 and I'm not sure which team did come out ahead. I know I got smoked the first game by the 2 boys on my team, but I creamed them the 2nd game!!

I used to think girls bickered about silly stuff, but these 4 boys did noting but fight over the 'rules' to pool. The argued about the rules and where the cue ball was supposed to go. Boys.


Today has just been a lazy day. No school tomorrow! Our county fair is this coming week and all the kids in the county get Monday off. I've never understood why the fair is so late, other than teachers like the excuse for a day off. I'll be driving the band to the parade so no day off for me. :(
