Last night Alexis was promoted to Team 4 in Gymnastics. She has been working so hard the past 3 - 4 months preparing. The coaches announced who made the team last night and she was one of them! She was thrilled. (We were too).
She did 100 push ups in 3 minutes about 2 weeks ago. This is AMAZING for an 8 year old!
The competition season starts in Sept. of this year so now she will continue to practice 4 times a week and to work on routines and her skills. We are proud of her!

Good Luck Alexis
Tonight is the last team 4 practice for Alexis before the revealing of the new Team 4 athletes.
She has been working so hard and wants to make the team ~ we find out tomorrow night at 8pm if she is accepted on the team or not. Gymnastics is such a hard sport and it requires so much work. For her only being 8 years old she has been very dedicated and has made vast improvements. We are keeping our fingers crossed and could use your good thoughts and prayers.
Good Luck Alexis!

CONGRATULATIONS JOE!
Joe made it to the State History Day competition with his "Tanks" website by placing 2nd in the District competition about month ago. The State competition was on Monday. I took the day off of work and headed to Laramie, WY to see him in action. Can you believe this....He was the first person to present his topic with the Judges at 8:30a. So, I was not there when he went in. But, he called afterwards and said the thought he did a great job. (We had not doubt that he did very well)
They awarded the top 2 places in each category at 4pm. The top two get an expense paid trip to Washington D.C. for the National History Day Contest. Joe received 2nd place! Yes, you read it right....he is going to Washington D.C.
We are so proud of him. It has been a LOT of work. This is a project that has been in the making since Oct. But, it is paying off.

Hailey's 6th Grade Performance
Last week was Hailey's 6th grade music performance.
This year
they did the "Music Man" play. She did a great job singing and dancing.
She is a natural! We were so proud of her. Joe and Celina took a picture
with her afterwards (bottom left hand corner pic.)

Rockies Baseball Game
A few weeks ago Joe had a baseball tournament in Denver.
The boys didn't win enough games to move into the bracket on Sunday so we were able to
catch a Colorado Rockies Baseball game. Joe was in hog heaven.
Unfortunately,
he had hurt his neck wrestling with his buddies the night before in the hotel pool...
but he was able to sit through a game. (Imagine That!) The girls had a great time
and Alexis' new crush is on Troy Tulowitski (the Short Stop for the Rockies - she even
put his picture on her bedroom door)

Spring Soccer 2010
Our first spring soccer games started 2 Saturdays ago. It was so
cold out but the girls hung in there and played a very good game.
(Hailey is in the dark shirt and Alexis is in the green.)
(I had to work that morning so thankfully Clint had the camera
and was able to get these great "action" shots!)

Spring Break Trip to the Denver Zoo
We had great weather during the kids' spring break time. We took
Joe, Alexis and Celina (my Goddaughter) to the Zoo one day. We had
such a great time. All of the animals were out and about. We
saw so many cool animals!!! (Spring break was a month ago - I am way behind on postings)
