The day began with yet another track meet. Steve told Kel that if she didn't break 6 minutes she was sleeping with the dog! She does love her dog, but not that much. It was a very warm day in beautiful, scenic Rubidoux, CA. There were many more athletes at this meet than in the previous three. For some reason the schedulers moved the girls 1600m to the end of the race instead of the beginning. We weren't sure what time to get there so she wouldn't miss her race. The previous meets were over by about noon so we made sure we were there at 10:30 so she would warm up. She didn't run until 1:00. Jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt were way too warm for me :) She ran with the fastest of the two heats and finished at 6:19. That is 12 seconds off her previous PR. I was so excited. She was not as much since she really wants to break 6:00. I told her she is on her way to it and will do it during the season.
The second part of our fun filled day was spent with Amanda as she prepared for her Winter Formal. Her date and the other couple who they were going with were a bit late to pick her up, 30 minutes in fact. Patient Amanda was going CRAZY. She finally went to her room because she was tired of her mom, Jason, Steve, and I teasing her. She made her grand entrance when her date arrived and all her anguish melted away. They were headed to dinner at Red Lobster and then to the dance.

Oh my goodness, Amanda is growing up way too fast! She looks so beautiful, Steve must be dying...did he give a talk about his guns to the young man??? :)
You bet! Just a casual mention of guns and body bags, not to leave out the snipper :)
Love it! Go Steve!
I'm with Steve - instill fear and then still more fear in the boyfriend. He's handling precious cargo with our Amanda!
