As a side note to Steven's dive meet, I just want to thank my parents for coming out and watching and supporting him. It was a bright, sunny, warm day(not the best environment for my mom, thus the big umbrella in the picture). Steven appreciated having his grandparents there, and his older sister, Kassidi--along with Julia and Karsyn. Kregg was out of town working in 'Vegas, unfortunately, but will hopefully be at the State Meet.

Regional Dive Meet

On Thursday, Oct. 23rd, Steven participated in the Regional Meet for Diving to determine who qualifies to go to the State Meet next week. It was an 11 dive meet held at McClintock High School. The competition was a bit more intense this year, with some really good divers. Steven did a wonderful job, and performed some beautiful dives. In the end, he took 1st place, but it was close, with the top 3 finishers finishing within a point of each other. Yikes--a little too close for my comfort. We're looking forward to the State Championships next week (on Halloween--Oooooohhhhhh, scary!) at the ASU dive tank. We're proud of Steven and all he's accomplished thus far. After the school dive season is over, we're hoping to get him in some club dive so he can further his talent in the sport of diving. You're awesome, Steven!!

Vegas, baby!

Parker, Karsyn and I made a trip to Las Vegas to visit my sister,Camille, and her family. We spent three days there, and had a great time. Parker and Karsyn had a lot of fun getting to know their 'Vegas' cousins, and Camille and I enjoyed doing nothing--just relaxing(at least for me) and visiting. Thank you, Camille, for your hospitality. It was a fun visit. Even though their pool was on the cold side, the kids didn't care, and did a lot of swimming.

While in Las Vegas, we were able to get together with friends of ours that live in Henderson--Roger and Melvina. We had dinner and a wonderful visit with them. Thank you to the both of them for an enjoyable evening. It was great to visit and catch up.
