Tehya's bday

Tomorrow is Tehya's 12th birthday. She has volleyball practice, then we are going to the Charlotte 49ers volleyball game. I am excited about going to see the "big girls" play. Hopefully Tehya will learn some new tricks and implement them in a game. She is planning on trying out for JO volleyball again this fall, but she is having a dilemma. All the girls on the team were 12 or turned 12 before Sept 6 and the whole team was in the 6th grade. So, if you are 12 and born before Sept 6, you will play in the U13 league. Tehya will be 12 AFTER Sept 6, so she could play in the U12 league (played in last year) or if her coach feels like she can handle playing in the older league she could put in her that one. She totally can handle it! So, I say to her, "hey try to get your jump serve down" or "practice jumping higher when you spike". You know bring something new to the tryouts to show them that you are growing in your learning!!! I know she can do it!!!!

For her actual party she is wanting to have a bunch of friends over to just hang out. I think this is a cheap, wonderful idea. We have to find a good weekend though. She is "working" on Saturdays being a line judge at the elementary schools volleyball games. She makes $5 a game. She pocketed $50 this past Saturday!!!

I'm Back, pt 2

I totally suck at blogging. I love reading everyone's blogs. i don't physically know the people whose blogs I read, but I feel like I kind of know them because I read their blogs often. I guess laziness just keeps me from actually blogging, so I am going to try to take the time to put out there whatever I feel like writing about. So let's start today with the kids.

We have been really busy already and school has only been in session for about a month. Tehya is playing middle school volleyball. Brooke is playing for her elementary school and Isabella is cheering for Varsity (grades 4th and 5th) football. Luckily, Tehya's volleyball games are during the week, so we only have 2 games to attend to on Saturdays.

Tehya's volleyball team has done really well. They were 3-0 until Thursday, so they are 3-1 now. About the last game, it wasn't that the other team was better than them, they beat themselves. I hate when that happens. I know the coach was upset, as was I. (more to come regarding Tehya's vball team and it's dilemmas)

Brooke was going to play football, she practiced and then decided it wasn't for her. That's fine since she was doing some sort of practice 5 nights a week. She will have her first volleyball game this Saturday. Wish them luck!!!

Bella had a football game. The team lost, but they played really well. I was proud of the football players and the cheerleaders. They were A-W-E, S O M E!!! Cheesy, I know.
