Let's try a new format here...May 2010 recap part 1

As a freshman, Naomi really did well this year. She enjoyed running the 2 mile. Ugh... who could enjoy running that far? :) She would beat her own record nearly everytime she ran. She has such tenacity and grit and perseverance. She also wanted to throw the javelin. This proved to be a bit more challenging only because there were a lot of girls trying to practice throwing and only 2 javelins to use. By the time she would return from her long distance running and training they had locked up the equipment and she wasn't able to practice much. That didn't deter her. She would throw when she could. Gradually through the season she was improving and doing well in the meets. At region she was unexpectedly asked to throw for Varsity. She did great and ended up coming in 6th overall in region.

2010... RECAP... April

So... the Beatty family was feeling really musical at the beginning of April. Both of the boys were able to be a part of the Grad Night fundraiser... Broadway Magic!!


Larson and his friends were the most adorable lions! Doing a dance to "Gonna Be a Mighty King"!


Larson discovered the box with all the Bows in it. Of course his curiosity took over from there. Rick was excited to show him how they work. They ordered a new string for the recurve bow and Larson couldn't be happier. Surprisingly.... Naomi really took a liking to shooting the bow and has really become good at it. She got to show off her skills at girls camp and loves going to the ranch to practice up.

Austen was working on his camping merit badge and got to do some repelling this summer. He was the first one off the top and did a fantastic job. He is definetly an outdoor adventure lover.

Austen was also in the Broadway Magic show. They performed a dance to the High School Musical song "Gettcha Head in the Game". He and his buddies were right in the middle of the Border League Basketball season so this was a way to have fun and workout too!!! They had so much performing and especially loved the screaming fans! It was really fun to watch.

Recap... 2010... March

Naomi has decided to throw the javelin and to run the 2 mile for the Track team. She spent an afternoon with her state champion big sister getting some great tips for throwing. (Just a side note... Naomi ended taking 6th overall in the region. Not bad for a freshman!)




Naomi was also playing on a club volleyball team. She is becoming quite a good passer and Coach Q. teases her about her "ice" serves. They are impossible to return. She loves, loves, loves volleyball!!

Occasionally we capture the really silly side of our dad. It was fun for us to see him smiling and feeling good enough to joke around with us.

Austen played in a basketball border league. He really is becoming a great post player and developing some awesome skills. He isn't smiling here because he was so stinkin mad that they lost to the Snow Canyon team.

2010 Recap... February... continued!

Presten participated in the Simplot Games this year.
It's one of the largest indoor track meets for highschool students.
He had to jump 21 feet just to qualify for the finals.
There were only about twenty that made it out of nearly 100 jumpers.
Presten did great considering it was some of his first jumps of the season.
It was a great experience, and lots of fun to watch.
