Look out Knights There's a New Cavalier in Town!

"See the cute #8 with the bow in her hair!  That's the new girl - Kailey Weston!"  I hear a few boys talking at the Cavalier Classic Volleyball tournament last week.

Yup, Kailey switched schools (to St. Joan of Arc) and is following in Carson's footsteps.  She is an official Cavalier now and the coaches are excited to have her.  Being the "new girl" at school and only in Grade 8, she was surprised when the coach named her Captain of the team!

 She is doing a great job at leading the volleyball team at St. Joan of Arc.  In St. Joan of Arc fashion the volleyball team played in their first tournament at the end of the first week of school and then 2 weeks later they played in their home tournament. They don't waste any time!  

Kailey is loving her new school and her new friends.  She is proud to be a Cavalier!

Holding on to Summer

So this spring our yard went through a small make over.  Who am I kidding?  It was a HUGE make over!  

It went from this . . . . 

To This!

We bit the bullet, opened up the bank account and splurged!  So far it has been well worth it!  It doesn't get better than a beautiful summer afternoon watching the kids play together on the sport  court!  Ok, not just the kids - the dad too!

Carson is fair competition for Darcy these days!  It is a pretty even game!  I guess it is every dad's dream to have their son become good competition at whatever they like to play.  

A little one on one competition between Kailey and Jordan only makes Jordan a better ball player!

While 3 kids play on the sport court . . . .

Sadie practices her dancing, jumps, and pointing her toes! 

Black Jack enjoys what lush grass we have left as most of it disappeared when the sport court arrived.  We are trying to enjoy every last day of summer because we know eventually the seasons change and winter will be upon us.  For now we will enjoy the beautiful weather we have had this summer!
