Chelsie

Chelsie came home on Friday for spring break. I don't know how much of a "break" it will be as Troy has her scheduled at the store to work a 40 hour week. It is nice to have her home though. Track and baseball are in full swing. Tanner and Mac had their first track meet last week. Mac got first in the high jump with a 5'2" jump and Tanner took second in the high jump with a 5'6" jump. They both can jump higher, but it was a terribly cold rainy day. Hard on the muscles. They both are doing the 4x400 relay which is such a hard race. They are both trying to figure out their pace, but Mac's team took first and Tanner's took second. I think they will both do well as the season progresses. Cory is playing baseball and has his first game on Saturday. The weather has been so yucky here, it is hard to get excited about watching a baseball game. Cooper is still wrestling, he has won 3 out of 4 of his matches. Baseball is starting up also. We are all anxious for warmer weather. We head to Cabo in April for our spring break. We are definately ready for the sun! Cory turned 15 a few weeks ago and now has his driver's permit. He actually is a pretty good driver. Tanner turns 18 at the end of March. I can't believe it. Time is flying by.

CHELSIE

CHELSIE
Chelsie is off to college at EWU in Cheney. She loves living on her own, but does get homesick every now and then. I love the phone calls I get that go like this," Mom, how do I fix......?" I still do that with my mom sometimes.

TANNER

TANNER
A senior this year, wow! I can't believe it. He loves his "senior" schedule and how easy school is. He is having a great year playing football and can't wait for snow to fall on Mt. Baker.

MCKENZIE

MCKENZIE
I know I am old because Mckenzie is a Junior in highschool. She is having a great season in volleyball. She is finally 16 and was able to go to homecoming. She is having to work hard for her grades, but finds plenty of time to play. I don't know if she will admit this, but she really misses Chelsie!

CORY

CORY
Cory loves being a freshman and having older siblings at school. They made the road a little smoother for him. He is playing freshman football and gets taller everytime I see him. He makes us all laugh all the time.The snow can't fall soon enough for Cory.

COOPER

COOPER
My baby is a middle schooler. Coop is in 7th grade and so glad to be out of elementary. He loves playing football and keeping up with his older brothers. He is anxiously waiting for snowboard season.

Our annual "Go Ferndale" blue & gold picture. Troy is coaching at the middle school this year. Cooper likes having his dad as his coach, but had to let him know that just because he was his son didn't mean he couldn't get the ball more. They have made the necessary adjustments to keep the peace. I am everyones biggest cheerleader. I make sure everyone has a full tummy before they head to their game and have camera in hand as I watch the game. I also make sure we are loaded with food for the aftergame get togethers that seem to have become a tradition. We are having a blast.
