Morton Ranch Game

They played Morton Ranch Junior High tonight, which is across town. It was raining when we arrived, but would pass. Before the game started, the cheerleaders practiced on the sidelines. They had a little accident and Ava was dropped. Lexi was one of her bases. She said when they lifted her, she didn't go up with them. To make matters worse, the other base did not let go of her foot so she twisted back and landed on her spotter, Mia. Both of them ended up banged up and crying before the game started. They snapped out of it though and went on to do the stunt perfectly during half time.

Half Time

Conference

Every 6 months, we watch general conference, which is broadcast by our church. It is a nice break from going to church and a good way to be connected with the prophet and apostles. They made some exciting announcements like church is going to be cut back to only 2 hours on Sunday starting in January. That is HUGE! They also said they'll be building 12 more temples. They have never announced that many at one time before. Our new president is on fire. 

Volleyball Pictures

The volleyball team had to stay a little late today to take team pictures. I saw Kacy and Lexi coming home and couldn't resist. See Lexi's scowl? Yep - that's what I often have to put up with when taking her photo. 

Pink Volleyball Day

Lexi's school played volleyball against a team from a different district. Unfortunately, the school that came only had an A and B team. They still got to play though our 8th grade C team played the 7th grade C team. One of the girls on the 7th team made shirts for all the players and gave them nicknames. It was so cute. Lexi was the Atomic Blonde, which is quite fitting actually.

Beat TJH

It was another win for Lexi's volleyball team. They are all improving. 

Woodlands Elite Practice

On Wednesday, the cheer team goes to Woodlands Elite to be coached by professionals. Lexi's friend, Isabel, who is on the 8th grade team, walks home from school with her and I drive them both to practice. We get there a few minutes early and they like to mess around. Sometimes they do gymnastics. I'm not sure what they were doing here. I'm sure they had fun though. 

Cheering with the 8th Graders

The 7th and 8th graders were combined this evening to cheer for the 8th grade football team. They were using the pink pom poms and bows to honor breast cancer this month. I could only stay until the 3rd quarter started because I had to rush Jordan off to Scouts. I took a few photos. Fortunately, one of the moms loves to take pictures and share with us all.
