USA JR. NATIONALS

Abby and her CSA cheer team competed on February 28th in the USA Jr. Nationals. The competition was held at the Hyperion Theater at California Adventure. The Hyperion is where the Aladdin stage show is. It was really fun! The girls did great, although they did not place...due to a last minute change in scheduling by USA, we found that they moved our team to the wrong division..one that was at a higher level...We didn't know this until later and STILL thought they did great! Abby nailed her stunts and smiled through the whole routine. Now we are gearing up to head to Las Vegas for the next competition..I am sure they will be great and WE will have lots of fun!

Cal Cup 2009

A few months ago Ashlyn had the opportunity to join a Club soccer team. The photo above was taken of her playing in her first tournament game with her team Olimpia. It was really exciting. The above game they won 3-0, going on to win the next game 2-0 and finally tieing the 3rd game 0-0. They won their pool and went on to play the following weekend in the Quarterfinals where they lost after a great effort. Olimpia is a Bronze East team moving up Silver in the Fall. I mention this because they lost to a Silver Elite team in the quarterfinals. I wish I could take credit for the picture..but it was professionall taken by an action shots company. I think it shows Ashlyn doing what she loves..playing soccer! Now they are on to another tournament this weekend..Wish her luck!
