Oakley is Keeping Us on our Toes!

This is what 2 days and 15 hours of volleyball looks like!

 We got to go to Oakley's first travel volleyball tournament.  It was in Utah.  They started at 4 on friday and played until about 10 that night and finally got to the hotel and in bed just before midnight.  They were up at 6:30 am the next morning and playing by 9.  We finally finished just after 6:30pm last night.  She was EXHAUSTED and her body hurt everywhere.  She didn't sit at all during any of the games.  She played her GUTS OUT!  Her team did great both days.

 This is Oakley's team (in pink) and the other 14's team from Oakley's school (in yellow) they were all on the same school team together and are great friends.  At our last tournament it ended up that we had to play against each other.  It was a GREAT game and we came out the winners.  We once again had to play each other yesterday and after another great game the other team beat us.  I guess we owed them one.:) So that's okay.  The girls high-five and hug afterwards and just regroup and cheer each other on at the next game.

Oakley has also been busy with clogging.  This weekend was volleyball.....last weekend was clogging competition.  She did 5 solos, a duet, an A Capella and 2 team dances.

 All the pictures are fuzzy - SORRY CAMERA PHONE - but atleast you get a little peek at the night. The first picture Oakley is on the far left and it is the MC Hammer dance.  Super cute and got really high scores from the judges including a perfect 10 from one judge. Yay!

 Oakley is on the far right this time and this is their raining men dance.  They also got high scores from the judges on this one.  Both team dances got 1st places.  These girls are AMAZING cloggers and headed to NATIONALS once again!

 The best part of the night was that Oakley got 1st places on all her solos, A Capella and her duet as well. 
Every dance she did that night she got a 1st place on.  So she got a silver star award for the 1st's on her solos....

 And a SUPER STAR medal for the 1st all around that night.  Only one other girl on her team got that same award.  We are SOOOO PROUD of her.  She has worked so hard at clogging this year and deserves these awards.  Because they did so well the teacher has decided to throw in a freestyle dance and a short duet before nationals.  So we have some more learning to do!  NO BIGGIE!! She's got this!

 I sure love this little beauty!
