Last Day at Westwood

It was our final class at Westwood. Lexi was only here for a few months, but it was enough to get her on the cheerleading team.

Mother’s Day

We had a beautiful mother's day. Lexi brought me breakfast in bed that she had made. She also gave me the plaque below that she created with her church group. We went to church in our ward. I love that the third hour is a huge brunch for the mothers. It is always nice. After that, we headed up to spend the day with Grandma and Papa. 

Last 2 Games of the Season

The Thunder played 2 games today - one at 9am and one at 11am. They beat both teams. I must say that the last set of games was phenomenal. Both teams were playing exactly like they should and it was fun to watch. Of course, it was even better to come out with the win. These girls came a long way.

First Temple Trip

Lexi went to the temple for the first time this evening. She had a wonderful experience.

Volleyball

Anne of Green Gables Play

This evening, we went to watch Anne of Green Gables, starring Ginger. Ginger did an amazing job and we enjoyed hearing it. 

First Cheer Practice

Blood Work was Normal

Lexi had bloodwork again. It came back normal. We're out of the woods.

Watching a Massive Tournament

Lexi’s team, Thunder, won their volleyball games at the Y today. Then, she went downtown with her friend, Heather, to watch a massive tournament. Their friend, Simone, plays on a club team that is ranked 6th in the nation. They watched her team easily pound another team. They also posed for a photo in the big red round window.

Silly Tricks

Cheerleader Tryouts

A few months ago, this girl decided she wanted to be a cheerleader in jr high. She came up with a plan and asked me to sign her up for cheer lessons. I did & she has been going on Monday evenings.

This past week, she has been going to cheer clinics at school to learn a dance, cheer and chant. It all came down today. Girls from across the district gathered at Taylor High School and did their thing. They tried out in groups of 3. Lexi was #4. The girls around her weren’t very confident and watched/copied her the whole time. She said she made a couple of minor mistakes, but the girls copied so the judges might not have known.

Her tryout was at 11 am. A few hours later, the names were posted on the school’s website. Lexi was thrilled to see her name at the TOP of the list (alphabetical by first name). She has been on cloud nine all afternoon & evening.
