Jami's High School dance team "The Warriorettes" are officially into competition season. Their theme this year is "Slumber Party" and its really cute. I will post a video of their routine after this weekends competition. Their first competition was in Charleston, IL on Jan 14th. They did awesome and placed 1st. They also qualified for State at their very first competition! This means they will compete in March for the Class 1A title @ the Assembly Hall in Champaign, IL. They will be performing this weekend in Clinton, IL and then on Feb 4th they have a competition in Tuscola...at the Tuscola competition, Jami will also be doing a Hip Hop solo. Also, at the Tuscola competition, the Warriorettes select Senior boys to be "Warrior Babe's" our nephew James has been selected as on this year. This means that at the end of the competition, the "Warrior Babes" will perform a dance routine the dancers teach them. Its always a crown pleaser and so hilarious to watch. I will definitely post the video of James dancing for everyone to watch:)
GO WARRIORETTES!!!!

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW.....Can't believe it's 2012 already! Hope Everyone had a fun New Years Eve! Here is a recap of our 2011 year! I am going to start youngest to oldest with the kids:
Jenny turned 11 this summer, and she is now in 6th grade. She played on a traveling softball team all summer. We traveled all over for different tournaments. She played in the softball World Series on July, we stayed in Indianapolis for a whole week of softball for it. We had alot of fun and Jenny made some new friends. AND softball is starting back up this month. She will start indoor tournaments in February and March.
Jami turned 17 this year and she is a Senior. In March, her dance team qualified for State. They performed at State and placed 5th. Jami has had a busy year. dance camp most of the summer, powder puff football, dancing at all home football games, and then dancing at Memorial Stadium in Champaign when the football team played for the state title in 1A football.
Jessica turned 20 this year and is on her Sophomore year at Parkland. She is working toward her degree in Dental Hygiene. She just got a 4.0 and made the Dean's List. We are so proud of her...She has managed to go to college full time and hold down an almost full time job! She is still dating her boyfriend Austen. They have been together for 2 1/2 years. He is also going to Parkland. He is almost finished and will have a degree in Criminal Justice!
Finally, Jordan and Amber....Jordan turned 22 this year. He is still in the Navy and he is planning on making a career out of it. By age 38, he will be retired from the Military! Jordan and Amber did a vowel renewal in May. It was a nice ceremony and a fun reception. They got married in 2010 on the beach of St. Augustine, then had a ceremony in May for family and friends back home. On October 30th of this year, they celebrated their 1st wedding anniversary. Jordan and Amber are currently stationed in Jacksonville, FL....Well, actually Amber is in Jacksonville....they finally got housing on base. They moved into a brand new townhouse on the base....But....then the day after Thanksgiving, Jordan had to deploy. He is currently in Qatar. He will be there until June. We have been able to skype with him a couple times. Below is his address if anyone wants to write to him while he is away. I am sure he will appreciate all mail.
Jerry and I just celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary on Dec. 29th. WOW!!! Where has the time gone...Jerry is still working at the U of I as a plumber, and I am still working at Syngenta....and I am now the Distribution Manager of outsource corn! Woo Hoo!!!
As you can see, the Knight's had a great 2011....Here's to an even better 2012!
