the tradition continues.

just yesterday my sister-in-law linked me on her blog because she posted pics of my nephew on spirit day for homecoming. my nephew, cody, is a freshman this year at reagan... and i can't believe it!! this pic below is my sister, lindsey, giving cody the garter from the two of us... whooo RHS alum. haha. it's so crazy for me to think that it's been nine years since i was a freshman at reagan.
oh the memories i have from that school. four years of volleyball (2 years jv and 2 years varsity),class officers (2 years historian and 2 years vice president), good times with some of my best friends in the world and everything in between. i'll never forget my first day of school freshman year - it was the first year that reagan was open. the volleyball girls had already been up at the school for at least a month, practicing and having tournaments and i guess i never really felt nervous on my first day as a 'fish'. i remember it was cool back then to do this thing with your hair - it looked like you were wearing it half up, but the top part were little braids that you either tied with small bands or bobby-pinned to your head. i thought it was so cool, but looking back i recall it looking stupid. i met with several friends at my friend jordan's house so that we could all carpool together on the first day (okay so maybe i was a LITTLE nervous). i can't wait to see photos of cody and his date before the dance tonight... i didnt even go with a boy my freshman year! haha. i went with three of my girlfriends - morgan, lauren, and jordan... and we got a limo and took photos at canyons springs. ha. wow.
WELL ANYWAYS. cody is stepping right up and continuing the family tradition at reagan - he plays on the freshman football team and is now serving as freshman class treasurer! it's so exciting to hear about him and my other two nephews (kyle will be class of 2013 and connor will be class of 2016) doing such big things... way to keep the tradition alive boys. i LOVE yall and can't wait to see you when im home.
