We went to a few really fun parties on halloween and i won my first pie eating contest! and i wasnt even full when it was over. whoever made the pie.. it was delicious!

Volleyball

Our season FINALLY started! our first game was on tuesday against cibolla and we killed them! but then on thursday we played the state runner ups from last year and got our butts kicked. their best hitter is already signed with ASU.. she was amazing! and then we had a LONG tournament on friday and saturday. we did pretty good on friday, so we were put into a bracket with really good teams on saturday. we didnt play that great on saturday.. lets just say we are all a little embarrassed. we didnt play horrible, but we could have played alot better. hopefully we can start playing like we know we can. We are all best friends and we all get along really good. were probably the craziest team! we always have fun. sometimes too much... our coach gets mad sometimes cuz we are always laughing and being crazy at practice. anyways.. im so excited for our season!!
CARRY ON!!
dog pile!
being weird..
our pyramid! that took us SOOO long to do. i respect cheerleaders alot more now.
Varsity! i love my team. too bad im standing like i have a hunch back..
at team camp.. our coach taught us to lay down and put our legs against the wall with our feet up since we were on our feet all day long! i dont really get why we were doing it haha
our team with coach mike! i dont know why its blurry!! its my only picture of us with him..im so sad!
there werent enough beds. so me and katie made our own bed. right next to the bathroom.. not a very smart idea. since everyone had to wake us up to get into the bathroom.
me and katie trying to take a picture while we were in the air but we were a little late. i just thought we were in funny positions..
most of our team taking wiggles!
wow we were CRAZY that night!! you probably cant tell but i threw up twice earlier that day.. haha
audrey, ashley, chelsea and kaitlin
more wiggles!
katie, lexi and jessica. i dont even know what they are doing..

Dances..

So i realized i havent posted for a really long time.. but my mom kind of took care of it by putting pretty much everything exciting about me on her blog. I dont have much to blog about because i do the same thing everyday. i have weight training in the morning from 6:30-8:30(where i realized im really weak and out of shape...), then i come home, try to take a LONG nap, and go to work! sometimes we have volleyball practice or something too..So my life is pretty boring! but i did forget to post my prom pictures! just remember i was sick.. thats my excuse for looking gross, even though thats not a good excuse!

so my face got a little covered by ron.. but i didnt mind! it actually made the picture look better!

me and jake
this is my morp group. i went with Nathan Smith! it was really fun! even though alot of other couples wore suns outfits.. ours were the best!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFFNER!!!!!

Jennifer is our New Year's Eve Baby. She arrived 3 weeks early and only 8 minutes after entering into Mesa Lutheran Hospital. She was in a hurry to get here. Jennifer is kind, sweet, and has a calming influence in our family. She has always been beautiful both inside and out. She has many talents. (I'm her mom, I have bragging rights). She's very musically talented, she has a natural ear for music, yet she won't let anyone in on that secret. It is fun to hear her play the cello, guitar, electric keyboard, piano and her favorites the radio or mp3 player. She's very athletic, has great hand/eye coordination. She LOVES volleyball and likes softball. She is also the brain in the family. When she was 3 years old she could write all of our names frontwards and backwards - and we didn't even work with her on it. She saw it and did it. She's known as the dancing booty at volleyball and at home. She is extremely sweet and compassionate and would do anything for you (except clean her room, ha, ha). She is quite the prankster also. She is a lot of fun to be around. She has brought a lot of sunshine into our home, and we are grateful for the blessing of having Jennifer as part of our family.

Love ya lots,

Mom
