Whitney decided not to play on the Salem Bantam team again this year- it was too stressful. She ended up playing one last season of basketball, on the ALA Junior High team! They were terrible, haha. But she had a lot of fun and was chill about it. I was thrilled because Ellie Walquist was on the team, so I took the opportunity to sit by and get to know her parents! They have incredible kids all my kids' ages, and I have been wanting to be friends with the mom, Ruth, for years! So that basketball season was a blessing for me just for that reason, it started a friendship that has grown since.
Also Whitney played great and was a good teammate, so win/win!
Maris enjoyed playing "basketball" too!
This was Owen's soccer team's service project, Valentine's Day decor for a rest home. The masks are so weird to see 9 months later!! They were was cute and had fun doing it.
Emma tried gymnastics (since she was already doing 100 cartwheels a day at home!) and loved it! She learned a round off and handstand before we took a break for the summer. Now in the fall she is working on her handstand to back bridge, and back bridge to a handspring.
Indoor season was super fun for Whit! She loves getting to score a few goals on the shorter field and occasionally play different positions.
Whitney helped with a few Hershey track timings in March! Since it was during her Student Government class that I needed help. This is Owen's class, he's on the far left. I'm so glad she stayed at ALA as long as she did, so things like this could happen!
Katelyn really worked on turns, and looked cool doing it!
A little more indoor soccer! Whitney going down to score:
UVU tournament champs!! Abby, Whitney, Rylee, Megan, Ruby and Avary
And last but not least, I convinced the city to have a boys volleyball league! They had a pretty good turnout for their first year! I had fun but Owen didn't love it, I don't think he will play again. But I'm glad he tried it, and he could totally overhand serve as a 4th grader- none of our girls have been able to do that!
I guess I should have included skiing in winter sports-- they went 10+ times! I got to go once and it was fun, but still scary for me. But Eric has gotten his wish, all 4 older kids LOVE it and want to go ALL THE TIMES. I am proud of them for being brave and active!
