Spring arrives again - and with it comes the sun

Jessica has a beautiful singing voice. Each year she has performed a duet with a friend at both the solo & ensemble as well as at the Pops concert. They have scored a 1 both times and done very well at the Pops concert. Not the greatest picture of Jessica, but its a memory.

Spring sports brought more soccer for Maria - both her Storm team and the middle school team with Jessica; Anika got to do her beloved hurdles, and Brandon was back on the LaCrosse field. 

Anika scored in every meet and was voted MVP by her teammates and coaches. They were a small team of 9 girls, but they all fought hard and loved every minute.
Brandon was voted player of the game at the team's first win - ever. This is only the second year the local district has offered the sport. Brandon joined the team as a coop.  He really enjoys lacrosse and was asked to play on the summer team, but couldn't figure out how to work it into his summer schedule.

 Jessica and Maria played together on the middle school soccer team - they were small but mighty!












Anika and Jessica had their final band concert. Jessica was actually in both band and choir in middle school - in high school there is only room to be in one or the other in a schedule. Brandon switched to concert choir this year and really enjoyed it.

Joint middle and high school bands... Jessica and Anika are both in there, I promise, Anika on the left, Jessica on the right.

Easter brings another tradition.... we take Robin Bird Eggs, the blue ones, and lick them to give ourselves lip stick and then take a picture...

And  spring also brought Anika's last prom. It was a great year of lasts. She went to prom this year with a group of friends and they had a great time. This group has eaten lunch together pretty much every day of their four years in high school - a great group of girls to call your friends.
