Tonight was the cross country awards banquet for Kayden. It was also Malia's first Christmas performance with her singing group at the Festival of Trees, and *sigh* Rik's first board meeting for club volleyball. Naturally, the camera didn't make it to any of these events (my cell phone even went dead during Malia's performance), and we had to divide up as a family to make it to everything... (welcome to my November/Decembers.)
I don't know how the volleyball board meeting went, but everything else was awesome! Rik went to the cross country banquet, and was beaming proud as he showed me all the awards Kayden came home with:
Here's what he was awarded with:
- Received the Most Improved runner plaque for the 2010 cross country season (the coach made a point of mentioning that Kayden didn't even letter last year for cross country, but ended up placing 4th on the State Team this year.)
- Distinguished Team Scholastic Award (3.25-4.0 GPA)
- Outstanding Individual Scholastic Award (3.75-4.0 GPA)
- Hillcrest High School Athletic Award
- All Conference Honorable Mention Award (Awarded by District 6 Coaches Association)
- Hillcrest Cross Country Participation Award
- Dedication Medal (8 or more banked runs... he had 16 banked runs, so enough for two of these awards.)
- He lettered in cross country
- And he got the Varsity Runner trophy, for being on the varsity team for Hillcrest
(State boys team with their coach)Kayden took a two week break from running right after state, but started training again today.
Malia's performance at the Festival of Trees also went really well. They have several more performances coming up, and I'll try to remember a camera. I was shocked at how much they have improved over the last couple of years (amazing what a little bit of growing up does... especially with the boys!) She loves singing and performing with this group, and I think the Christmas music is her favorite.
Since I'm on a bragging streak... might as well mention that we had parent teacher conferences last week and report cards home. Anaya was straight 5's (1st grade's equivalent to A's), McKay had one B+ and the rest were all A's, Taisha had all A's, Malia had one B+ (mostly because her honors science teacher hadn't corrected one of her assignments...), the rest were A's, and Kayden had one B+, and A's. Very proud of these kids! (Don't worry, I'll go back to my "lovingly mocking" style of blog writing.... just had to get this one out of the way!)

You have every right to brag, Kayden did great this season and he was so funny last night each time he would return to the table!! I'm sure Malia's voice is angelic as always, do remember a camera next time :) Maybe there is something to this science teacher, Kenna got a B+ too, her excuse was because Mrs. Tullis is 'retarded' - yeah, it's pretty much always the teachers with her!
