Caitlin's First Car

Last summer Caitlin took driver's ed and got her permit. She turned 16 in October but had to wait until January to take her driver's test. In March she was ready. It was time for a car! Papa spent several weeks looking for the right car(and deal) and finally found the one he and Caitlin wanted.

Can you tell by the smile....we have a very happy driver!

OU Red and White Game

We drove to Norman this morning to attend the OU Red and White game. We stood in line and visited with other OU fans while we waited for the gates to open so we could find the perfect seats to watch the game.

When the gates opened we joined more than 20,000 OU fans to watch a game of flag football played by OU football alumni and then the Red and White game. Our seats were on the 50 yard line 3rd and 4th row. It was a beautiful day, 70 degrees and a light breeze.

The main attraction for many of the OU fans was quarterback Sam Bradford # 14



During halftime the Heisman Trophy was officially presented to Sam Bradford.



It was a fun filled day! We are now ready for football season to start!

Cheerleader Try Outs

On April 6th 11 girls entered the high school gym for Allen's cheerleader try outs. There were 8 slots to be filled and the girls were excited and nervous. The judges were OU cheerleaders. The girls had been practicing for a week and now they had to perform a cheer and dance routine as a group, perform the cheer and dance by themselves, perform 3 jumps and an original cheer. After all the girls had competed, they had to wait about 30 minutes for the results. The results were posted on the gym door....there was a lot of squealing and jumping up and down as the girls read their names on the list. Jessie made the cheerleader squad!
