Last week we got together with Hummel's and Plaisance families at Top Golf. We haven't seen Lara and John and kids for months... such a busy family, but we finally nailed down a time. We had a good time visiting, and the kids played golf. Was a fun couple hours.

2024 Golf Banquet (Sophomore)
Sunday was the 2024 golf banquet - celebrating the 18 kids that made the team. Not all the kids could be there, but it was a very nice 30 minutes.
Kayson was awarded "JV2 Golfer of the Year" - very nice, and so unexpected. I was pleased... that means a couple things - coaches noticed him, and so did his team mates. He also got "All Academic Award" for having at least 3.25 GPA.
I pray that he continues to work hard to Golf Tech and improve over the winter.

Kids pictures
Another year of having Melissa Goche take our pics... she does a great job, she's quick and the kids do well for her.
So pleased... and heartwarming. I love them so much.
Titans Convention 2024
I always feel once Cora goes to this Titans Convention, it's the true start of the season for us! Even though, the team has been practicing hard for months!
Sunday was convention day - one day - full of contemporary, jazz, hip hop, musical theater. It was a good day - she worked hard, and was wiped out!!
Early morning, but she was ready! |
Always required picture with friend Quinn! |
with Quinn and Lauren (dancers from WestSide) |
with instructors |
Lunch break! |

This & That
- Kayson is approaching his first finals week of HS - he's done pretty well, but several times he's just been lazy! I hope he applies himself to these finals and we see great results.
- One of his classes was Intro to Metalworking - it was a pretty solid, interesting class for him. He did well - and came home with several items he welded. Pictures of a few of the items:
- I had the kids' pictures taken this past week - we don't have all of them back, but the few we've seen were great and I'm always so pleased with my kids. They do well - and it's fairly quick. I love them so much.
- Invisalign - this should be it's own post! BUT - I'm nearly finished with my Invisalign. I got fitted for the retainer, got the buttons removed! I love the way they look and am so pleased!

Iowa game
We continue to have season tickets to the Iowa football games, with that though - Cora and I rarely attend. It just makes for a long day, and Cora isn't too excited about it! BUT - this past Saturday, we all went! And it was fun!
We met up with Scott, Niky, Duke and Britt with their group of tailgaters - and man, they were having fun! :) It was fun to see Duke - as he has been at college. It was a fun morning. The game was good too - a win, so that's always helpful for the day!

Tooth #1 out!
On the road to braces... and Cora is starting to lose the teeth that are needed.
I think she needs to lose 5 - she thinks only 4. WHO KNOWS!
Last night she pulled out one... and looks like another is pretty lose too!
