Britesha in Spinnakers


This is Britesha practicing right before the 4th of July parade. She on the drill team for Cyprus High. It is pretty difficult to get on to this team, so she was very excited. She is the cute one in the middle. It looks pretty cool when they perform with their sabers. They do not use them in all their dances, but it is what they are known for. The girls get dangerous when they start swinging their sabers around. Their sabers are sacred. They are not allowed o let anyone touch them or they will be put on probation. If they drop them during practice, they have to run laps the rest of the time they are at practice. Britesha comes home with cuts and briuses from them. They put them through some pretty intense training. She sometimes wonders whether she should have tried out for this. The girls all have to learn the dances, but they have to try out for every dance to see if they will get to perform them. She just made Kick and will be performing next Friday. Yeah! I am so proud of her. If I can figure out how to put videos on here I will.

I'm so EXCITED! A Sellick has finally joined me in the blog world. You better do lots and lots of posts for me to read and enjoy. Your kids have all grown so much since I joined this family. It's been fun to watch them grow up and now we get the fun of watching Amrie (sp?). If you want me to help you 'fancify' your blog it will be my pleasure this weekend. I lovem messing around with mine. See this weekend...

So I just read my comments and I can spell and can type, just not on James' laptop! Yikes!
