From Tennis Shoes to Dancing Shoes...lol

Allison had her district tournament Saturday. They had a bye to the semi-finals where they played Wynne - they won that and advanced on to the finals. We played Paragould in the finals -we had played Paragould Thursday night in our last conference game and it ended up being a very close match - with lots of controversy thanks to refs who really didn't know what they were doing - we won the match but Paragould of course said the only way we won was because of the refs - so they were out to get us in a major sort of way Saturday. We took care of that pretty easy - we won the first game 25-10 and the second 25-19. It was sooo sweet!! Alys played amazing. We were so proud of her. We rushed home because she had her Homecoming Dance Saturday night. She got rid of the knee pads and put on a dress and had a ball there too.

So, we have no more junior high ball to look forward to. Alys is moving up to Senior High and will get to go to State with them. Not sure if she will get much playing time but she will have fun just being part of the team.

Conference Champs! (hopefully)

With big wins for both Jr. and Sr. High Tuesday night, we are pretty much assured of conference champs. We have a couple more conference matches, but we hopefully can win those pretty easily.

The girls have both had great seasons. It has been so much fun watching them play this year. They got a treat Tuesday night with Uncle Scott and Aunt Jamie coming to watch them play. Allison's junior high season will end next Saturday at District - she will get to move up to the Sr. High team then. She probably won't see any playing time but it will be neat to get to travel to the State Tournament and be a part of that with them.

The first nine weeks is about over - the grades are good. I am very pleased. Chemistry is a definite challenge for Ann and Geometry is working Alys over - but they are doing fine.
