Cross Country

This year was an interesting year in which my girls decided to try out for cross country.  It started with the girls getting a taste odd running when we had our Weber family reunion 5k fun run.  The girls did a really good job and so they decided to try out for the school team.  You can start cross country in 5th grade. 

They started running in the mornings before the season started with the neighbors, Brigham and Talea Murdock. After a week of this,  mackenzie said she didn't want to do it anymore... I told her she had to do it.  She ended up loving it! She and Alexis were amazing!  Lexie is so competitive that she would stop running and memoir had to push herself to Iberville the mental challenges that come with running miles upon miles.  It was so fun to watch them work hard! Jared and I are so proud of the girls and hope they will do it next season!

Kenzie Plays Volleyball

Kenzie was given the opportunity to play volleyball this year in our local club program. Normally the girls don't start until 5th grade but they had four openings and we were offered a place. Kenzie excitedly accepted. She chose not to do basketball this year because it is just too much of a contact sport for her likeing. So when this became available, she was really excited!

She is still pretty timid but she has already improved a great deal. We had our first set of games yesterday in Logan, Utah, which won't normally be that far away, and she really had a lot of fun.

We got to our games on time and found out that every one else had accidentally driven to the wrong place and so we had to wait about an hour before anyone arrived. We warmed up with Kenzie for so long that afterwards she had a pretty bruised wrist. I kept asking if she wanted to rest but she has been trying to get her serves over the net and didn't want to stop. I promise i didn't push her to keep going, it was all her!! I felt so bad that she ended up hurting herself!

However, she played through it after daddy saved the day and bought pink athletic tape to wrap her wrist up. She had a few passes go her way....and some she got. But she had fun and it was fun to watch her!
