CONGRATULATIONS TO JAYLA, TANNER, DAN AND GRANDMA PRATT!!

We have had a few things happen within the last couple of weeks. First I'll start off with Jayla. We signed her up for the High School Cheerleader Elem. clinic. This entailed 2 days of practice and then 1 night for the performance at the half time of the High School football game. She was so excited for weeks!!! They learned a couple of cheers and a dance. Her difficulty came because she is a lefty and wanted to start everything opposite of the rest of the girls. OHHHH, but was she cute! Of course the night of the performance it was raining and one of the coldest nights yet. They didn't want the girls wearing their coats so that you could see their matching t-shirts. The picture below is a little blurred, but she is the blond one, crouching down getting ready to dance.

The next highlight is of Tanner and Dan. Their little football team made it to the Championship game against Lafayette. Since it was the championship game it was played at the high school football field. Tanner really didn't care how far they had gotten other than they got to play on the "big" field. They still only played 60 yards instead of the full field. They didn't win, so they took 2nd place, but we were just happy that they made it that far. Now.... as a competitive mom.... I think it was unfair. We are the only city in the league that doesn't stack their team. Almost every other city has TRY-OUTS FOR 7-8 YR OLDS. HOW LAME IS THAT!!

Tanner and Dan having a heart to heart.

After the game there were a few kids who were sad and cried because of their loss. Uncle Steve asked Tanner after the game how he was doing Tanners answer...." Usually after these games we have snacks. Where are they?" Needless to say Tanner handled the loss great especially after he got his cupcake and drink (the mom who brought the drinks bought them a whole bottle of Martinelli's Sparkling Cider, I think in the hopes that they would have a grand celebration. It was really cute though.)


Next.................

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA/ MOM

Yes it is that time of year. I posted these pics for my Siblings and grand children that could not participate in the HUGE party we had. Grandpa cooked up a thanksgiving type feast (since they will be in Utah for that day) and we partied like is was 1999.

We had a plethora(?) of desserts to choose from. Chocolate cake, pumpkin pie, and cupcakes.
Mom dressed up in all of her gifts. She got and new coat from grandpa and new scarf, hat and mittens from us. We love you Grandma!
