Another Teenager!

Annmarie had her 13th birthday on Saturday when Spring Break started.  She chose to have crepes for her birthday breakfast and they were delicious!  She also chose to sing at the Wylie Opry on her birthday and did fantastic as usual.  She just keeps getting better and better.  Here's to another teenager!
 

Wylie ISD at the Meyerson

Eliza and Annmarie were both involved in Wylie ISD at the Meyerson this year--Eliza with A'Cappella and Annmarie with Choraliers.

Jonah was not in the highest level band so he was not involved.  I was happy this year to be able to go since I missed out last year due to a gymnastics meet for Annmarie. 

 

Orchestra and Choir UIL

 Annmarie and Eliza had back-to-back UIL performances for junior high choir and high school orchestra.  This was Eliza's final UIL for orchestra, so I had to go.  I love being able to go to the kids' events that happen during the school day and purposely did not accept sub jobs for these days so I could go.  

The Amazing Shake

Annmarie participated in a program called "The Amazing Shake", in which the students learn to be business like and assertive.  There was a competition to finish off the program, which she attended.  She wasn't too thrilled about the program as she got into because she thought it was boring, but I think that she will utilize the skills throughout her life (hopefully).

Final Pep Rally

Annmarie had her last pep rally of the school year for the last game of basketball season while Corey and I were in San Antonio.  Fortunately, Stefanie Zeltner was there and able to get pictures.  I asked her to send me any she might take of Annmarie and she did!

Cheer at Basketball

 

Annmarie cheered at all the basketball games she could. She said cheering at basketball was kind of boring, but I thought watching basketball was fun when I would go watch her cheer.  She had an injured ankle during basketball season, toward the end, so spent some time in physical therapy trying to work through the pain.  

Annmarie Voice Recital

Annmarie's holiday recital was also this week.  She sounded so good singing her song and was probably the best one there.  She is not afraid to perform solo.

Cooper Choir Concert, Christmas Edition

Annmarie had her winter choir concert.  She is really loving junior high choir, especially her choir teacher Mrs. Edwards, who is new to Cooper Junior High this year.  Annmarie really lucked out getting her as a teacher!

More Cheerleading Fun

These photos are from the football games through the whole month of October. Annmarie gets to stunt a lot and she tumbles.  Cheering has been fun for her.

 

Cheerleader Annmarie

Stefanie Zeltner, a lady in our ward whose daughter is on Annmarie's squad, takes pictures and she came to one of the games and took some great pictures.
