Team Ohana Season

Please Click Here for Video Link.......Over the past 7 months, our lives have revolved around Nicole's Club Arrowhead, Team Ohana. Imagine taking over 500+ photos and videos and trying to condense it into one video. The original version that was passed on to the players was 37 minutes long. Fortunately, this version is only 7 minutes long.

It was a worthwhile experience to see these 12 athletes transform over the months and improve their volleyball skills. I can't say enough about our Coaches. They were patient and knowledgeable and educated the players step by step. Many thanks to all for an outstanding season. This Saturday is our final tournament and it is all day from 8 a.m. - 9 p.m. Good Luck Team OHANA!

Team Ohana Professional Photo



This is Nicole's Club Arrowhead "Team Ohana". For the past seven months, these young ladies have been practicing at least 4 hours each week, with 1-2 tournaments per month and now on May 14th, it will all come to an end at the Regional Championships. Nicole has been fortunate to be on this team of athletes that have worked diligently on and off the court. These girls bonded and got along so well, they were always very respectful of each other and their coaches. This was the first time that all (but one) had played on a Club team.

Vistancia's HOA hosted an Easter Eggstravaganza. The entertainment for the day was seeing me with the smashed egg on my face. I felt like a celebrity with all the people taking photos of me.

Fun with Emma


Nicole's friend, Emma, is in town for a few days. Nicole has always wanted to try this spinning thing at the Mall, so she waited until Emma came in.

As always, we enjoyed being entertained by Mrs. Julie Carlson's OUTSTANDING Advanced Band at Lake Pleasant's Showcase event.

Vistancia Talent Show



Tonight our community, Vistancia, held a Talent Show amongst the residents. It was great to catch up with friends, sit outside in the evening and be entertained by so many talented young men and women. Julie Carlson's Steel Drum Band from Vistancia Elementary kicked off the event. Gotta love that! And Journey Church's "Garage Band" closed up the evening. Did I mention I LOVE living here?

Dog Show - I want one of each!



Today, I took Nicole and her friend, Kayleigh, to the Dog Show. All the dogs were so calm and attentive. It brought back many memories when I use to compete with my first Lab, Brenna, in Agility and Flyball. Obviously, that was before Nicole was born. Glad I could share part of my history with Nicole.
