The Ever Allusive "Queen"

Last weekend Sierra went to her last solo competition of the year. Sierra is doing 2 solos this year, one on pointe and a lyrical. Now Sierra has competed in solos for the past 4 years. Every year she has always been in a category with 6 girls and has never taken 1st. Well this time she broke her "curse" of always coming in second, in a big time way. Not only did she come in first, which is called "Queen", but she received what is called the high point award. That is for the dancer who receives the highest point total in her age group(13-15 year olds), and it includes all the styles of dance not just the one she was competing in. So it's a huge honor! That is the trophy she received for being the high point winner!! Way to go Sierra!!
Hunter's team is still on fire! This picture is from Saturdays game where the were ahead by so many runs the game was called early. Hunter also played last night and they won again. He has improved so much in baseball this year, this is only his second year playing. We are so proud of you bud!
Also, yesterday I went on a field trip with Hunters class to Timpanogoes cave. It was fun, but still a little cold for me. There were places where they had to remove several feet pf snow for the trail to be opened. But as always, what amazing views, and what a great hike. The only down fall, the kids sang the song that never ends all the way down the mountain........
This morning we went to Sierras middle school for a student of the month breakfast. What a great honor for her,Isn't she amazing? I tell you what, Matt and I are so lucky. We are so blessed with two great kids! Lastly, GO JAZZ, We went to the game on Sunday for Mothers Day, That was one of the best games I have ever seen in my life!

Is It May Already?!

So the past week has been really hectic....I always say that don't I? But here is my quick recap. On Friday Sierra made her high school dance company. There were 58 girls who tried out and 20 made it, so she was really happy!We are so proud of her! She has also been competing every weekend in dance competitions and has done awesome.
Hunter had his last spring super league game and their team did pretty good, they did end up winning two games..woo hoo! Hunters baseball team on the other hand, has been unstoppable. They have won their games with scores like 20-4, it's crazy. He is having so much fun. We have about the same schedule the next few weeks, lots of dance and baseball. We have also been going to and watching the Jazz games. I have hope, even after yesterday, that they will beat the Lakers! GO JAZZ!!!
