Basketball and Dancing





On February 28th we had a crazy busy weekend. We had our last basketball games and Madalyn competed in the Showstopper dance competition in San Antonio. Which meant we left the house early and didn't get home until super late.
Ella played with the Monarchs this season and Jessie was kind enough to let me rope her into helping me coach the team. The girls 3-5 are WAY easier than the boys 3-4, but its definitely still like herding cats. Ella did a great job and I think she that enjoyed it, or at least she spared my feelings and said that she did. :) Beck continued to do well this season even though he moved up an age group. He was back with his friends and more than half of the team is from Blanco Vista. They still don't keep score for and Beck and Ella's games, and thank heavens because Madalyn's games are enough to give you a heart attack. She also moved up an age group this season which meant she was playing with girls from 9 to 12. As you can see from the pic, we had a girl on the team that was 5'8 with my 9 year olds-crazy! We had a good season and won 2 of our 6 games. It was a really fun season, but I have to say its a relief for it to be over. :)
Madalyn had to rush from the dance competition in San Antonio to make it back for our 7 o'clock game. (note the makeup in the pic) The Darlings team won golds for their tap to Devil in a Blue Dress and jazz dance to Pink's song Trouble. They also won 3rd for their production dance to Hercules- where all of the kids from all of the teams particpate. Unfortunately, we didn't take any pics at the competition but there is another one this coming weekend with all of the same costumes.
And last but not least, we went to a housewarming party at Danny and Kim's new house. They bought a super cute two-story in Kyle near Madalyn's old school. I have to say that Danny's Mexican Martinis are enough to try and get them to have parties every weekend! Congrats to them though, we just hope that we'll be next.
