The BIG Kahuna!

As of Thursday, Alexia is now The Big Kahuna at Rocky Mountain Middle School!  She was so excited Thursday when I picked her up from school.  She told me that Mr. Moeller has a basket shooting contest in his class.  There are several points from different areas in the class that are worth so many points.  The biggest one of all is "The Big Kahuna".  Supposedly, no girl has ever made that shot, and not too many boys have either.  She gracefully shot the ball 'of tape' into the air, over the back of the couch, rolled it down the back and it dropped straight into the narrow garbage 'bucket'.  Everyone shouted in praise and gave her high five.  Of course, she also won the challenge for her class teammates.  Then, as she walked down the halls, kids were yelling, "Alexia made the Big Kahuna!" and giving her high fives.  To hear her tell the story, you would have thought she won the big Title Tournament.
