Spring Has Sprung

WOW! I love, love, love spring, but it also seems to be our busiest and most stressful time of year.

Vic is once again coaching the Southeast Lancer High School Baseball Team. His passion has always been baseball. It does take up a lot of his time though (and mine) and can be stressful at times. However, we have had wonderful weather this year and it has made sitting through double headers a little more enjoyable. :-)

Aubrey had junior high cheerleading tryouts last week. She made both the football squad and the 8th grade basketball squad. She is a wonderful cheerleader! All of her dedication to dance over the years is really paying off, because she was fantastic in all of the dances that they performed this year!!! She is running track right now. She is a hurdeler...Yep...That's right, a child of mine jumping over hurdles. Sure doesn't even seem possible to me. Don't quite know how that happened. LOL She had some funky old wooden hurdles at one meet and fell, skinning herself up. I told her I didn't want her doing hurdles anymore because I didn't want her to get hurt. She laughed and said, ya right, I'm doing hurdles. I am proud of her.

Megan is in full mode of softball. She is playing on a traveling team out of Frontenac and her league team here for Southeast. She has decided that she wants to be a pitcher. She does a really good job too. Besides softball she is also taking baton classes and practicing her baton for the dance recital that is coming up!

Brady is playing baseball again. This year Cherokee has mixed it up a lil' bit and they have one 11-12 team. This team is going to play other surrounding towns instead of having three 9-12 yo teams and playing just home games. Last weekend the Mini Lancer Football team hosted a little tournament here in Cherokee. They had three teams. Our team made it to the championship game to face an opponent that had rocked us earlier in the day with a score of like 16-1. They decided to throw Brady out there the championship game. He ROCKED! He pitched all 6 innings, faced 19 batters and struck out 15!!!!! (Walking only one kid.) WOW! We won like 8-1. Vic and I were in the score box that game and it was fun listening to some of the dads from the other team stand under us talking about Brady's good delivery and the fact that he was a good lil' pitcher! Woo Hoo

Tori is going, going, going. Tori made the starting varsity softball team as a freshman. AWESOME! She works hard and LOVES the game. She still keeps up with going to dance classes. She has high school cheer tryouts this week, so yesterday and tomorrow she will be putting in 13 hour days at school. Saturday she has cheer practice from 8-9:30, dance from 10-2, and tryouts at 2:30. On top of all of this we are trying to get everything ready for prom, which is next Saturday.

I'm meeting myself coming and going between everyone's activities. On top of all of this it is the end of the school year. There is still so much that I want to accomplish and now I am trying to cram it in before it is too late.
