Ashley and Cameron Update

Here's what Ashley and Cameron (you know my other 2 kids)
have been up to lately...
Ashley with some of her level 4 EGA teammates modeling their new practice leos.

Ashley has been staying VERY busy with her new passion...Gymnastics.
She is currently a level 4 and is practicing 10 hours a week to get ready for her first competitive season which begins in April. She will have 5-6 weekend meets until the State meet in June.

At her practice on Saturday the girls got to do the entire floor routine for the first time with the music and Ashley did such a great job! She also got her handstand dismount on beam and her round off back handspring without a spotter...it was a BIG weekend.
Cameron #3 point guard, YMCA Basketball...The Sharks.
Following in the footsteps of the great Burridge men before him like...John/daddy, Uncle Phil and Zach...Cameron decided to tryout Basketball.
and just like we thought...he LOVES it and he's pretty dang good at it too!
Even though his team is struggling through a tough season(0-5)...Cameron is actually loving every minute.
He does a great job as a point guard on offensive and enjoys bring the ball up the court and boy this kid can really dribble...his dad is SO proud.

But defense is where he really stands out...he guards his man like a monkey on a banana...often ending the games with a few steals.
He's learned to go up hard for rebounds and does a great job boxing out and getting the ball.

(as you can tell by all my expert ESPN style lingo...I spend a lot of time sitting in the stands at basketball games and practices).
In fact, Cameron loves it so much that he's decided to skip soccer in the Spring, instead he's going to do another season of basketball...hey just like Zach is doing too.

For the first time in 9 years not one of my kids will be playing soccer...feels a little strange but my main question is without all those Saturday soccer games and all my kids now doing indoor sports...
"How will I ever get my summer tan?"
