WOW!!!

Well, we made it through another crazy weekend with everything possible going on - 1st Grade SuperBowl, Wedding, LSAM State Volleyball Tournament and a Cheerleading Competition....

To start the weekend off, I had to photograph about 20 Jr. High Volleyball Team Pictures for the start of the LSAM State Volleyball Tournament and then I rushed back to Blue Springs where Kendall was playing in the BSAA 1st Grade SuperBowl. It had just started when I got there but we were already down by one touchdown and a missed extra point 6-0. It wasn't too long before the Bears came back to tie it though. The Lions had us figured out though and they were getting through the line to stop us in the backfield on numerous occasions. In the second half each team scored another touchdown but the Lions were successful on their extra point and the Bears were not; so the Lions beat us 13-12 in the SuperBowl. We had defeated the Lions twice during the regular season and it is very tough to beat a team three times in one season. We had a great year going 6-0 in the regular season and 1-1 in the playoffs for a 7-1 record overall.

Saturday morning, Fonda and Lizzy headed to Topeka, Kansas for the first Cheerleading Competition of the season and it started incredible. The "Sizzle" got 1st place in their category and Lizzy was on cloud nine to say the least. They work so hard throughout the year and it is so exciting to see the reward. I wish that I could have been there!

Fonda then rushed back from Topeka to help me photograph a friends wedding. The Bride had told me several years ago "if, and when she ever got married that I had to photograph the wedding!" She was beautiful and it was so much fun - like we knew it would be.

Well, after a late night at the wedding we got up early on Sunday and headed back to the LSAM State Volleyball Tournament to photograph the final 16 Volleyball Games to complete the tournament with all the action images and to sell the Team Photos. Finally we packed up from there to get home about 7:30 and unload the van and post about 1400 images to our website so the players could start ordering their pictures.

Wow - What a weekend....!!!
