Homecoming

Fancy dresses, heels,pretty hair and lots of friends...must be homecoming
You get use to seeing these girls in their volleyball attire, so it is quite the shock when they put on fancy clothes and wear makeup. I can't believe how fast time is flying by with Miss Colleen. I am thankful she has such great friends.




Football

Conlan's team continues with its JAG SWAG and is now 3-1-1. They have one more game before the middle school championship. Conlan is doing so well blocking and breaking thru the defensive line.
Donavan's team is having a hard time, but Donavan continues to do well as DE. His coaches are impressed with how well he reads the offense. Donavan will tell you they are not scoring on his side of the field.

Volleyball

Colleen's team is currently 8-4 in the district and ranked 4th out of 9 teams. they have made huge gains since last year but will have to knock of the 2 top teams if they want to go to regionals.
The video shows Colleen doing her thing, unfortunately they lost the point. Notice how she jumps up and down, she was told my her "favorite" ref she could not do that. Colleen was not a happy camper since she has been jumping up and down since she was swimming.

Conlan's football

Conlan's team is 2-1-1 and has been getting better with every game. Conlan loves blocking, which makes his dad proud. Conlan still needs to work on defending his man on defense instead of where the ball is but it is a learning process. His coaches of been singing his praises about what a hard worker he is on and off the field.


Sports update- D's Football

Donavan's team is having a rough start... they are 1-3 (one team has beaten them twice) Donavan is playing well as defensive end. Donavan has been given a leadership role as a captain and helping give the pep talks before the games.

The Project

After three months of no garbage disposal and a leaky faucet, Ray and his dad took on the project. I like how the box says easy installation and shows how you only need three tools. But it never seems to work that way...but after 5 hours I have a sink that works so I am a happy camper.


SCA FACILITATOR

Donavan was elected to the student council on Tuesday. Donavan wanted to be a facilitator because he liked the idea of being the "decision maker" bc he never gets to help make decisions at home. Donavan did not want the family input on how to make his posters or his power point presentation. As much as he drives me crazy for never wanting help or accepting advice, I do love that he is independent and can claim full victory for his accomplishments.
