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!

Wow Sierra sounds like an awesome dancer, great job! I really want to get Kyra into dance, but I have no idea where to put her, there are so many different studios out here. And yes that was a great game on sunday, I tried forever to get tickets to the game on Friday, but no luck.
So Ashlee told me to come post on here since she never does...she thought that might count for something. I love the pic of Dad in his work uniform because he was probably on his way to work when you were there! We totally have those pictures, too!!
You have a couple of good (and very busy) kids! I can't believe how much they changed since the last time we saw you guys.
Check out our family blog when you have a minute... twoandthreebees.blogspot.com...
So where does one put a trophy that large? I am jealous.........
All I can say, is I couldn't be more proud! You guys are such an awesome family!!
So, here is my little comment and it could be the last- who knows! I am very proud of Sierra for all the improvement that she has made in dance- she is amazing. I haven't added anything to my blog, but I did set one up- sort of. So, check it out in a week or two and I should have some fun stuff up. . . tall1andshort1.blogspot.com....
