Oscar winner!

Emma's teacher this year does an Oscar award every two weeks that the students vote on. They pick someone and vote for them if they are nice or smart or friendly and so forth. Emma won the first award last week. She was so proud!  And so were we. 

Katie and Jacket Jazz!

Our new adventure this year has been Katie's participation in Jacket Jazz - the dance team at Denham Springs Junior High.  It has been very fun for all of us, and the best part about it, is that she gets to share this fun with 2 of her best friends - who also happen to be the daughters of  2 of my co-workers.  This past week, the actual festivities began with their first home game.  I managed to get to her school to see the pep rally and watch them perform.  I only took one picture, but I have a few video clips that I will try and put in a separate post.  

Her team is made up of 7th and 8th graders.

Preparing for the kick line - oops!

The proud mom, obviously worried about the paparazzi!

Say Cheese!

I will try and post the videos next.  Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't!  Next time I will try and get some pics of them doing the stand routines with the band too!
