Powerlifting

The powerlifting season has begun! The team has grown quite a bit over the years and it’s so fun to watch them compete and place in their different weight classes. 

Regionals was held in West and the boys competed well. After years of being so close to State Troy finally made it. He placed 2nd and will be going to Abilene in a few weeks. Teague place 3rd in his weight class and lifted well, too. His judges seemed a bit more picky, but sometimes that happens. I have no doubt we will be back at State with Teague in a few years. 

Troy headed to State in Abilene. They stayed overnight to get checked in and weighed-in and went to dinner and then Saturday morning he competed. He did great on his squat and bench press and decided only to do 1 lift of the deadlift to save his hamstring that has been bothering him. Even with only his opener he placed 9th in the State! I’m so proud of his hard work to get there after many years of missing it and I hope he enjoyed the whole experience!

Spring Break fun

Due to all the sports, we were limited on what we could do over Spring Break. We started with powerlifting and got to watch Troy and Teague earn 2nd and 3rd. Then, we made a day trip to Granbury to see Twisted Whisker. We stopped off in Glenrose to explore and also walked around the square in Granbury. 

Kelby spent the first half of the break on senior trip. They went to Florida and visited Clearwater Beach and Universal Studios.

I had a few lunch and dinner outings with friends! Tara was in the States so we were able to spend the whole day with her! It was so refreshing! 

Then we headed up north for baseball. We watched 4 games of baseball in Muenster and explored that cute little town. We found a few antique malls to browse and also a winery with real ostriches to enjoy! It was a great little get away to end our spring break! 

Valentine’s Day

Richard and I had a fun date night for Valentine’s. We tried the new place on the river, Brazos Landing and were pleasantly surprised. Great food and drinks and the weather was perfect for sitting on the patio. We will definitely be back. Then we met Josh and Lacy at Lounge 93 before they went to their dinner reservations. It was a fun night out. 

Troy also surprised me with a rose at school. He is always so thoughtful! 

Cheer

The cheer competition squad needed a few guys to join them this year to add some noise and muscle with the flags. Teague and two of his friends were the lucky guys picked to join. At first Teague wasn’t too sure about it, but as the weeks have gone on he seems to really enjoy it. They have three competitions in December and January so I’m excited to see all their hard work pay off! 

The competitions were a success! The first one was in Dallas and on a Saturday so we were able to go and support them! The team did so well and the guys had a blast! From watching the other teams so riding scooters in downtown Dallas to eating dinner right in the middle of a Santa convention…great memories were made. They received 4th place and the Best use of props award. 

The second competition was a three day overnight trip I. Fort Worth. I was able to join in as a van driver when the other sponsor couldn’t attend so that was a lot of fun. We enjoyed Sundance Square and the Cheesecake Factory the night before. Competition day was crazy hectic but despite a few mistakes they made finals!! Then placed 12th in the state! What an accomplishment! 

The last competition was Nationals in Dallas. The whole weekend was spent in Dallas and by Sunday night they were exhausted!! They performed Saturday and Sunday and ended up 4th. They had a great competition season and Teague is already looking forward to next year and how he can grow in his stunting skills. What a great opportunity he has been given and I’m glad he jumped on it. Such fun memories!
