Victoria's Grand Life

Wow it has been a crazy, fun week for Victoria with all the end of elementary parties. First we had the 5th grade kickball tourney which Victory-AH (# 8), knew her class would win. Mr. Cannon (#10, her teacher) has practiced with the kids and made each of the 24 students a nickname, that he has used all year long. And yes they won.....Then her class performed a Beach Boys song for the whole 5th grade. Thats the picture of her and her best friends with the beach ball. Yes it was great. No doubt about it she was meant to be a crowd pleaser. I have a video but I can not figure out how to load it. oh well. Next, We have the talent show, that

 I also have video of but can not figure out how to load it. It was
 great. Victoria performed "Teardrops On My Guitar" by Taylor
 Swift with out any nerves. She wore the dress you see below 
and held her mike and the cord like she was a pro. She almost 
looked grown-up (not sure if I like that). Last was the Awards 
Ceremony that she was recognized for being the Vice-Pres of 
student council, A honor roll, Good conduct, 100% on her TAKs
 test and a SOAR award for always being willing to help anyone 
at anytime. Then on top of all those awards found out that she 
won 1st place at the talent show for vocals and then Grand 
Champion over the whole thing. She screamed. She was more 
excited about that than any thing else. That is her with 
her teacher (Mr. Cannon) getting all her academic awards. 
Then her and her friend Chelsea (who got 1st for her hip-hop dance). 


Coach Marshall


We spend a lot of time at the pool with Marshall helping coach (jr. assistant) and me on the board. So the girls get to wait a lot. They get to watch some movies and just chill. 

Isabella's water day


Well Isabella had her last day of school. They spent the day outside playing in the water, because it is as hot as anything here in Texas.  The little boy with her is Justin Schoch, her best friend. He lives 2 doors down from us so she asks everyday to play with him. So Justin's mom and I rotate houses everyday and sometimes half the day at his house and half at ours. She loves her friends like her big sister.
