For the Love of the Game...

Soccer takes over in the spring...If Brinley didn't love it so much...I think that she would complain a little more. She is always being pulled away from friends, Activity Days or school programs. You have to be dedicated to play this sport. It is a year around sport and Brinley loves to play the game. She is an awesome #2!

Baseball

Sam is on the Athletics Team this year for baseball. They are doing machine pitch and Sam loves it. They have had a few games so far and Sam can hit the ball so good. Some hits will go clear out to the out field. It is so fun to watch him and he just thinks that it is the coolest thing. He will ask me over and over "Who am I playing tonight Mom?" It's like this big competition!

A Weekend Get Away

Brinley had a soccer game in Lehi this weekend...so Steve and I thought that it would be so fun to just get a hotel room for everyone and stay over. Well, it ended up that Brinley's game was cancelled last minute, but we went anyway because we had the room and we took McKenna along with us. We went out to dinner, to a movie, went swimming and then just relaxed. On Saturday, we went shopping at the Gateway for Sydnie's upcoming birthday!

First Grade Program...And a fun year

The first grade program was awesome! Sam was so into it and so was the rest of his class. I loved it! Sam has a great teacher this year and I think that she is just wonderful. She has planned the best activities for them...it has been a fun year. She even planned a food fight last Monday for the last day before they went off track. A food fight...can you believe it? Sam was so excited for it and he hasn't stopped talking about it since. Mrs. Thomas is great and she loves her little first grade class.

Choir Concert...Footloose

Sydnie loves choir...she had another choir concert and the theme for choralaires was "Footloose". They had a lot of fun picking out their clothes! Sydnie did Choralaires and Madrigals this year and has had the funnest time in those two classes. She has some fun friends in there with her, which makes it so great. Sydnie loves music and she loves to sing...in fact, she has been singing since she was just little. If we would go to Salt Lake or somewhere in the car, Sydnie would practically sing the whole way there. We have gone from primary songs, to Barney songs, and now to whatever is stuck in her head that day...but she is literally constantly singing.

For Madrigals, they performed some "Annie" songs.

Bridgette helped Sydnie out with a costume and they had a make-up artist come and do everyone's make-up. Sydnie had a blast.

Cheers to You...

A Night to say goodbye...It is hard to see so many friends take so many different paths. Some are going to High School while others are staying at Syracuse Jr. High and Sydnie will be moving on to the new Jr. High...Legacy Jr. High. She and Kendra are the only ones that are going to the new school from the old squad and it is sad for Sydnie to be seeing them separate. She has made some great friends...like Cambria, Emily, and Megan. Here is a shout out to Syracuse Jr. High Cheer Squad...great job this year!

Cheers to You!

A Candle Light Ceremony...

The Clearfield Candle Light Ceremony is to celebrate the year and to say goodbye to the graduating cheerleaders and welcome the new. It is a fun night...there is a video that they watch that is taken throughtout the year, they introduce the new squad for the next year, and then they light candles for the new Clearfield cheerleaders and blow out the candles of the one's that are leaving. Lyndsie had a great year and was able to meet some fun friends.

Here is a picture of the old squad...

Here is the new squad...

Lyndsie really likes her coaches Jen and Cam. She has a fun time with them and they like her a lot too...they even tell me that they will adopt if ever I get tired of her. Ha Ha.

Trying to fit it all in...

Brinley has been so busy the last few weeks with soccer...it has been hard to fit in some play time! But finally, we managed! I am so happy that there are a dozen or more of great friends for Brinley only blocks away...it makes for a fun summer and off track time. Brielle, Mallory and Grace are over having some fun before Brinley will have to say goodbye again to travel down to Orem for another soccer game. Lots of fun!
