Big Kids

I wanted to update you on some of what has been happening and is coming up for the big kids.

 

Tony’s basketball team played in the championship game this past Saturday and won (decidedly).  Which was very impressive considering they were the 8^th seed of the tournament.  But they beat the 1^st, 4^th and 3^rd seeds in order to take it all!!

 

Tony’s marching band played in an OMEA district competition this weekend and performed well.  Based on their performances, they are now heading to State championships (although I do not know when those are).

 

Speaking of marching band, Tony is marching in the Dublin St. Patrick’s Day Parade this Saturday at 9am.  As long as the weather holds, we are planning on attending.

 

One more for marching band, they have their spring concert band performance on Wednesday, May 12th at 7pm.  Please mark your calendars if you are interested in attending.

 

Tony has started his tennis team tryouts this week.  I understand that he is currently playing a really good player and is up a set.  He is feeling good about his improvement over last season due to his lessons and time spent on the court.  We are hoping it pays off for him.

 

I hope you are sitting down for the next bit of news – but as of today Kristen qualifies for her temporary license.  That’s right – she is now 15 ½ years old and can go take the test and get her temporary license and start practicing her driving.  Hard to believe, huh?  The girl that jokes about being distracted by shiny objects will be operating a 2 ton vehicle!  Woo hoo!  LOL

 

Also, it sounds like Kristen is being baptized in her church on Sunday, April 18^th at the 11:30AM service.  We will keep you posted as we hear more details.

 

I am trying to attach a picture from the Sweetheart Dance that Kristen attended.  We didn’t get any pictures so I am swiping someone’s off of Facebook.  Hopefully it comes through.  Kristen looked beautiful!
