Orange crush

Hailey played basketball for the first time. She had a really good experience and they got 2nd in league and 2nd in Champioships.  And to top it off she got the sportsmanship award!

Her and her best Bud Madi.  Talk about overkill, she got 3 trophies and was very happy about it.  She went straight home and rearranged her trophies in her room.

Section 1 Champions

These girls are the only ones in PV moving on to Western Regional Championships.  Hailey had been sick with the flu and we weren't sure how she would feel.  Coach sat her out the entire first game, and i think she was a little bummed, but she was coughing a lot.  In the Championship game he put her in for just 1 quarter, the 3rd quarter and she scored a goal and played just about the best soccer we had ever seen her play.  She sat out the rest of the game happily and said it felt like she played 2 full games.  The cutest part was when she scored, all the girls were so happy for her

Fun -ness

The kids always ask for S'mores, I mean Bonfires when we get together.

Shane joined Katie and Eli on their trip to Magic Mountain.  Yes, they rode that ride!

Fearless three

Stealing

Shane now wears my socks and my  indoor soccer shoes!  

Olympic Marathon Trials

The marathon trials were being run in LA and we heard they were running the same loop 4 times.  At the last minutes Duane Cathy and I headed down to watch it.  It was pretty sweet from a spectators perspective.  So fun to see Meb qualify for his 4th Olympics

We cheered the runners on with this behind us

He's such an amazing person

Family time

Nana, Papa and the Jennings came out for a visit.  They brought with them lots of sunshine and a big swell.  First stop, La Playa

 Adam tearing it up

 Hailey gave Lyla some soccer lessons.  She loves being the older one for a change

 Seagulls entertaining the kids while boys surf in background

Vday Hike to Dominator

We hiked down Lunada Bay to the shipwreck, Dominator.  It ain't no easy hike and the kids bebopped along.

Canyon detour

Finally made it to the ship as the fog lifted and the swell was perfect

 Celebrating Valentine's Day with chocolate fondue.  Poor Hailey girl, she came down with the flu during our hike that afternoon

Wasabi Warriors

Shane's basketball team was given the worst color jerseys and they still were able to come up with a cool name.  His team is really fun to watch and in 2nd place.  I love watching him play and his games are in my high school gym.  

I'm in the back row watching with my parents

And the best for last..........

Regionals

The girls biggest win yet!  Shane's team took 4 years to do what the Crushers have done in a 5 months.  Girls went into 2 overtimes and then PKs in the championship for the region.  Here's the  reaction when our goalie saved the ball to win the game

 Hailey is so lucky to be on this team, it's a dream team
