Regionals

Last weekend Victoria had her Regionals Swim Meet. She qualified for her 4 events. Freestyle, breaststroke, butterfly and 100 IM. She did amazing. She finished in the top 3 for each event. And earned 2 Silver and 2 Bronze. She just missed state times, but was given a second chance. She was able to choose 2 events for Time Trials. And she made state times for freestyle and breaststroke. We are so proud of her. So we go to State in Phoenix the second weekend of March!!!

2nd Place

Gabriel's travel baseball team, Blackout, had a tournament this weekend in Tucson. Ever since the team got moved up to AAA ball, they haven't won a game. But all that changed this weekend. They played Sat and ended up as the 4th seed. Then on Sunday they win their first two games that sent them to the championship game. The boys played their hearts out. But it just wasn't enough this time. They had a 3-2 loss. But they did come in 2nd place which is just amazing for 11 & 12 years in the AAA division!!

Newsboys

Gabriel & I had so much fun at the Newsboys concert. There is just something about sharing the experience with your child. I loved listening to their music starting in Jr. High. And now Gabriel is the same age.

We started off the night with VIP tickets. We got early entrance in and got to pick our sears. 3rd row right next to the stage!!! Then we got a special Q & A with the band, they sang a song and photos and autographs. Michael Tait is now the lead singer who was a member of DC Talk. And can I just say that even with all the years of singing behind them, what pure, amazing voices they have!!!

Then we went back to our seats. And Anthem Lights opened up. That was fun as we both like their music. And the energy those guys have is amazing. Two other groups also sang who were really good. And then finally Newsboys. What a show they put on. But even more than that I felt like it was also a church service too. There is just something about worship songs that just make you forget about everyone around you!! There wasn't one thing that I would change. And you know your kid had a blast when he says he can't wait for them to come back!! I have more pics on the camera, but here are these for now.
