The swim season is over for the summer of 2006. Hayley worked really hard to improve her times and cut a lot of time off her personal best in each stroke. She finished the season with her best performance and first win as she won her heat in butterfly! We are so proud of her!

Hayley swimming for the Devilrays in a swim meet in the 7-8 year old girls freestyle relay. This was the fastest she has swum this season! They finished fourth but that was still a great swim for this relay team!

We take photos of all the games and post those photos of the Stargazers’ website I built but I wanted to pull out just the good ones for Hayley for this site. There is also video of her scoring the game winning goal in game 3 and scoring the opening goal in game 4 on her birthday.
She just looked so beautiful to me right then. Those big blue eyes, alabaster skin and the cute beanie look. I wanted to smooch her about a dozen times.
Speeding away on one of her runs. She is so much faster this year.
Hugging Megan after scoring a game-winning goal! They are all just learning to celebrate after goals.

Photos from the 2006 UNC women’s basketball banquet at the Dean Dome on April 12th. Hayley and the other ball kids were recognized and even got to stand on their chairs. We lucked out and sat across from Ivory Latta’s parents.
I posted my favorites here and the link to the rest of them is at the end.
Oh the funniest thing from last night – Hayley wrote Ivory Latta (the best player in women’s college basketball) a note on the back of a program during dinner and gave it to her dad to give to her (the Lattas were across from us at dinner). It said,
Dear Ivory,
I love you. You are a cool and great player.
Love,
Hayley
and she decorated it with hearts and basketballs (after I took the photo).
It cracked me up SO much – Hayley loves Ivory so much. And Hayley just has no fear – I mean this is the best player in women’s basketball this year and Hayley is passing her notes!
And yeah, Ivory loved it and told Hayley thanks – they made silly faces at each other too. Ivory rules, she is as funny and goofy in person as on the court. Her parents are very polite and quiet tho!
Hayley outside the Dean Dome about 9:30pm

I forgot I had excerpts from two early season basketball games Hayley played in last season. I pulled some clips out and post them. Remember this is the first time she’s played organized team ball and is playing again boys.
It is about three minutes long and there is no audio because it was just obnoxious gym noise as well as Jeff and I running our mouths. Oh when she runs up to the camera, she is saying, ‘we won’. Hit the screen to get rolling…

The last of winter basketball has ended with the last game of the season Monday night. I’ve posted photos from four of the games and the final trophy ceremony.
Hayley had a good time and preserved through some cheesy anti-girl comments from two boys on her team – just kids stuff. She played with 7-8-9 year old boys (we saw one only other girl in the league), some of which were much bigger than her. Her high game was 10 points!

Paul, an adorable ref at basketball, hangs Hayley up after they played one on one last night
Cleaning up after hoops, she looked like a very cute Abe Lincoln to me with that beard.

Rey threw down one of the most vicious dunks I’ve seen this season during the N.C. State butt kicking UNC did on Wednesday night. I’ve seen better dunks but not one that actually humiliated someone else so much.
Oh that was so sweet and so are these photos and video.
Video: just click play on screen to watch

Of course my mighty Heels won the women’s basketball game but that was just part of the fun trip up to Blacksburg.
Ton of photos from the game, before the game and playing in the snow.
