Jas had a great weekend!!!
First of all, Friday and Saturday was a home basketball tournament. Our first game was a really boring game as we played the team that ended up in last place. We beat them by over 50 points and it could have been much more but coach kind of turned it into a practice by making our girls pass the ball five times before they could make the shot. Jazzy said it was wierd to hear her coach quietly wishing things for the other team like: "come on - get in the basket" and "call a foul ref"!
But they made up for that sleeper game with the next one being too close for comfort. We ended up winning by two but the girls were only shooting 14% - an off game for everyone!!!
And that put us into the finals - another nail biter!!! But a bit better one as we were usually the team with the higher score. But the girls worked hard and were able to pull off a win by 3 points!!!
So that made the Panda's the winners of their tournament!!! - that hasn't happened since at least before 1999!!!
The Varsity Pandas with their plaque and individual trophies - Yay!!!
Jazzy is #5, back row, right end. Cousin Jaime is back row, second player from the left.
I'm delighted that Jas can be part of such a great team - not only great athletes, but really nice girls. She is certainly learning a lot this year!
And the other great thing that happened for Jas this weekend was . . .
. . . receiving her Young Womanhood Recognition Award today in church!
She's been working on this since she was 12, so about four and a half years worth of goals and value projects. She will now continue on and work on the Honour Bee award.
She did some wonderful Value Projects, including reading The Book of Mormon, Indexing, sewing costumes, participating in a stake choir, cross-stitching the local temple, etc.
We are so proud of her and all her hard work. And it was especially nice that she received it today because this evening we had New Beginnings. And Carlee was one of those new Beehives who was welcomed in.
And yes, that is a black eye! And the other cheek has a nice yellow bruise on it but you can't see that!!!
And here's a better view of the medallion.
The girls get their choice of gold or silver now. Jas chose silver to match her pretty new CTR ring.
Isn't it beautiful!!!
And my delight for this entry is simply Jasmine!!! She's so great!!!
