2008-2009 Sauk Rapids Storm Dance Team (absent Brianna Tvedt)

and all their awards and recognitions, what a great season these girls have had.

Storm Dance Team-Misti, Shyla, Megan, Tia 2008-2009 Seniors

So Tia's had her Dance Banquet this past weekend, what fun it was, and Sad..Being this it her last Hurrah....what a fun ride this past year was between the ups and downs of normal girls stuff, it was Awesome.

I can't believe all the "lasts" we are experiencing, it is so odd!! I will be ok though, you watch!!

Kennedy tried out for a AAA Hockey Team these past two weekends, she had a blast skating with some of the girls that were not on her team last year (being we had 2 U12 teams). She skated her heart out, unfortunately she didn't make the team (too many politics with that whole issue) but she did have fun, and that is what it is all about for her. She will be playing soccer this summer again, and be attending many camps for Hockey, along with Speed and Stength at School. We try to keep her busy, cause she gets bored quickly, especially if she has nothing going on.

Brent and I are well, we are busy planning some vacations and fun stuff to do this summer. We are hoping to go on a Bigger Family Vacation next Christmas, with us and my mom.

Kennedy made the "B" Honor Rol this trimester...and Tia made the "A" Honor Roll which is something we strive to have our kids do... And one Last think, Tia took 1st Place at the STATE DECA CONFERENCE in March, and she is headed to NATIONALS in California April 27. WOW is all Brent and I can say, we don't know where that girl gets her Drive...but we are proud.

Be SAFE, and HAPPY 'start' of SPRING!!!

Kennedy and Rachel were the Captains Team, Kennedy is such a team Player and leader, I am so proud of her. Hockey has made her grow so much.

Here is Kennedy, in her last game of the season, she didn't play the last Month, due to being ill..

This past weekend has been wonderful, not only did I get to spend good quality time with my girls and Brent, but My aunt and a few cousins came over along with some friends and we had a great afternoon, laughing and chit chatting...

Us "girl" cousins are planning a Casino Night at Treasure Island, it is going to be so much fun, we don't get together much anymore, so for us to get together for the night, I CAN'T Wait.

Then comes Sunday Morning, and I am on the computer, and one of my Cousins from My dad's side contacted me to chat, I was thrilled, the amazing internet keeps me connected with everyone. Life is just too short to let those close to us fall through the cracks. I even Chatted with an Friend in the Phillipines this morning, how weird is that, who would have thought that you could just chat across the world as if you were sitting on the phone...

My mom is settling in good with being with out a job, we are helping her out alot with things. She get so bored, so keeping busy is very important.

Happy Week Everyone...HUG your KIDS (before you know it they will be graduating and going to college!!!)
