McKay won Region Championship in PF debate!

As most of you know McKay has now been on the WXHS debate team for about 1 1/2 years. He took 5th in State last year in Congress and he had many other wins last year too. Well this year he deiced that he was going to try some new and he changed categories, which you normally do not do on the Debate team. You start the 3 years with one place and stay there. But not McKay. He wants to try and get a scholarship in Debate so he deiced to try and do PF = Pubic Forum. In PF you have a partner and you debate together. McKay's debate partner is a guy named Tuscan.

When they go on "stage" Tuscan write all the facts down and sets the case and McKay is the closer. They have met teams that have debated for almost 3 full years together and beat them. And like the title of this post stats they are Region Champions.

There were 6 schools and many PF teams and McKay and Tuscan beat them all. They are very "young" together and both Juniors. They competed at Varsity Level and many times are the underdog. But they did it, they took Region ;o) They were the best team from WXHS too!!

 The little coin says Region Champs in PF 2012. Way to go McKay and Tuscan!

Next week they are going to the National Qualifier to see if they can make it to Nationals. Here they are true young and the under dogs but you never know!!

McKay going to Sweethearts Dance at Woods Croos High School!

As you have seen McKay was asked to go to the Sweethearts Dance with a good friend. The Teenagers over here do this a lot. They ask their friends not just the ones they have a crush on:o) So this time McKay went with a friend.

McKay and Ashley ready to go to the dance. And see he is even wearing a PURPLE tie:o)

They ALWAYS go as a group to the dances and here is the people McKay went with. Do you see the girl in the "peach" dress. That is Baylee McKay's "girlfriend" :o) They went together for the Christmas Dance but you never go with the same girl twice in a row so he has to look at her from afar :o)

McKay had a great time and he is beginning to like dancing better. He was a little worried at the first dance but now he is going out there and giving it all like he does with most things in life :o)

McKay was asked to Sweethearts Dance

We heard a knock on the door and Lulu went barking like crazy as always and this is what we found outside our door:o)

A heart attack was on our door..... McKay was asked to go to the Sweethearts Dance.

This was from one of McKay's good friends Ashley.

 Hearts all over what a cute idea.

We answered back with 7 windmills 3 feet tall (About 90 cm) and a poster. We wrote "I would be blown away to go to the dance with you". On the "wings" of the windmills it said yes,yes, yes. We put those in her yard and the poster by her front door. I wish I would have gotten a picture it looked so cute!!
