Third from the right...

Kendra is cheerleading again this year. She is captain on the varsity team. She had thought about playing basketball, but in the end Cheerleading is something she loves to do (just like her mommy).

Back to School 2009

Kace, 5th Grade

Karter, 3rd Grade

Kendra, 7th Grade; Celina 9th Grade

Calli and I have become pro's at Back to School. However, this year was a little different as Celina started High School. I dropped her off for her first day, and have to admit that it was strange seeing her looking so grown up. Calli did her Back to School tradition of making the kids a special after school treat.

Kace Cross Country Meet

And they're off! Kace's team, Knik Kings, in green to the right of pack.

(Kace and Dawson)

Kace competed again this year in Cross Country. Last year he finished 74th...he set a personal best this year, finishing first for his school in his race, and top 15 overall out of about 85. We were so proud as he came out of the woods in a small pack behind the leaders. It was awesome to have our nephew Dawson there this year also, and Aunt Jessica and Uncle Dave cheering on as well.

Celina Homecoming Dance

Our oldest daughter, Celina went to her first High School Dance, Homecoming. Her Aunt Becca and Mom helped her get ready while Dad paced in the living room, feeling very old. Her first boyfriend, Austin, picked her up with his mom. He was very polite, and even called me "sir"...I almost died!
