Craig's 3rd grade play - The messenger

I know we have started a new school year but I am still trying to get caught up on last year. Please bear with me. I want to make sure to get all these great memories saved. at the end of the school year Craig's class put on a play called The Messenger. He was a ship captain. He did such a great job. He is standing right behind George Washington (Taylor). He was so funny because he would not practice in front of me. I was not allowed to hear his part. Kind of scary on my part. I thought he really didn't know it, but to my surprise he did fantastic. He knew all his lines. I watch the performance 3 times and by the time it was the parents performance he was relaxed and whipping out his lines.
Mr. Friedrich did a great job with Craig this year and really helped him come out of his shell. I am very grateful for all he did!


We are proud parents of our ship captain. Great job, Craig!!

Softball Camp - Go Cougars!!

Ashton's softball team, the cougars, was fortunate enough to attend BYU softball camp together, thanks to a generous donation from a parent. The girls spent a week in the dorms at BYU and went to the softball fields daily for instruction. She headed up to camp on Sunday with the Adams' on her first airplane ride. Our family went up on Friday to pick her and Maggie up from camp. This is a picture of her on the last day sitting on the field!
After camp was over the girls were able to get balls signed by the BYU players!

I am very grateful she was able to have this experience again. It is a good motivator for college and her sport! Maggie is on the right in the baseball hat. All the girls had a ball! The Cougars are the best! Both BYU and our Vegas team!!

Cheer Awards (yes, more blogging about Ashton)

Ashton's cheerleading squad has a big banquet at the end of the year. We had a nice dinner first and then the trophies were given out.
Ashton received 5 trophies for cheer this year. Isn't that crazy! We were all overwhelmed by the number of trophies.
The best trophy was this one. She received a trophy for getting straight A's. This is the group of cheerleaders that received that award. The coaches really push good grades and I love that!! It was a fun night and we are very proud of her!
