Cheer Competition 2011

Today was a big day for Jenna. She participated in her first Cheer competition. She was kind of tired of cheer but she loved the performance and dancing part of it. She was a bit nervous and doesn't like the attention she was getting. All the girls had their hair done the same and I think it was adorable.

Here is the 8 and under cheer team. The girls were all 6 and 7.

There are now getting ready to start practicing.

Jenna loved all the stunts. She also liked being a flier.

Jenna, Puja, Celeste, and Kayli.

All the girls lined for the national anthem.

The did some basic cheers just for fun.

I didn't take pictures during the routine but they did great and got first place in their division.

The winning team!!!

Jenna just loved Puja.

Her is my beautiful girl. She is very shy and so I am very proud of her. She went out and did her routine and did great.

Championship Game

Lance's team did well this year and they went to the Division II Championship game. It was a realt tough game and we lost. The boys were disappointed but they played hard. There were several bad calls and that was hard. I only took a few pictures because it was in the evening.

Jenna normally doesn't cheer with Lance's team but the coach said she could. Jenna had a lot of fun.

Last Games

The season is coming to and end so I wanted to post more pictures of the kids. We love football and the people we associate with are great.

Jenna made some great friends this year. Puja is quiet like Jenna and they had a lot of fun together.

I remember the day of doing hand clapping games with my friends.
Briauna had fun and loved all the girls.

Grandpa can to watch and the kids always love when he comes around.

Caleb has grown so much in football. He is a really great player and everyone is so impressed with how good he does. He got quite a few quarterback sacks and was always in the tackle pile. He is a great kid.

Jenna has had a lot of fun but she is ready for the season to be over.

Lance finally got his cast off and was able to start playing again. It took him a while to get back in but he did great. The coaches we so happy when could start playing. He is a great defence player.

Fairfax Marching Band

Tonight we went to the high school football game to watch Garrett perform with the marching band. He has really enjoyed band so far this year. It is a lot harder than he expected to march and play. It was a lot of fun and I remembered the fun I had as a teenager going to the football games.


It is so hard to believe that he is in high school Where did my little boy go?

Broken Bones

I love my Lance. He is busy and full of energy. He also is known for getting hurt. When he gets hurt is typically is big. He has been playing football for about a month and and a half. It has been since the first game he has been complaining that his foot hurting. I just blew him off. I then started watching him walk and run. I did notice that he was struggling. I have asked him several times if he wanted me to take him to the doctor and he wasn't sure. Sometime that pain was gone and he didn't complain. Finally he was at a game and I noticed that he wasn't playing. Come to find out he got stepped on and his foot was really hurting. The medic didn't want him to play again until it got checked out by a doctor. The problem with this was John and I were scheduled to leave for Hawaii in 2 days. Thankfully Lance has broken both of his arms so we knew who to call. The doctor's office was great and got him in right away. Well the results was a broken bone in his foot. I felt awful. It had been broken for about a month. The good news was that is was healing well. The doctor felt a hard surgical shoe would be great to keep the foot flat. While we were in Hawaii I was told that he was running and jumping with the shoe. He also had complained that he was in pain still. After we got back I took him in to the doctor and they put a cast on him so his foot could heal without him injuring himself more.

This is Lance being bored standing on the side lines. They made him be the ball boy.

Today is the day he gets his cast off. Don't be fooled about the strange look on his face. He just doesn't like to smile.

He wasn't scared at all to get the cast cut off. He has been through it 2 other times. I just don't know what to do with him!!

Stampede Football 2011

It's football again and this year we have three of the kids participating. Lance is 12 and on the PeeWee team. He has played with many of these kids for 3 years. Their first game was Saturday. They did great in their game and won.

Lance chose to be #44 this year.



Jenna is our little cheerleader. She has been begging for the last 2 years to cheer and now she can. She cheers for Caleb's team.

Caleb is also playing. He is 10 and a Cadet. He played with most of these noys last year. They did well with their game but lost against a tough team.

Caleb is #8 again this year.
