Prom 2015

Once again, Lil' TK and Kels got all spiffied up - this time for Junior Prom. Lil' TK and his girlfriend of almost 2 years dazzled in blue while Kels and her friend looked elegant in black. Ang was able to make it to both photo shoots this year and was happy to get some fun shots of the kids and their dates and friends.

Play Ball!

The Dittos started spring sports. No one told Mother-Nature and the first games had to be rescheduled but that's how things go in Minnesota.

Lil' TK made the JV Baseball team for the West Scarlets playing Left Field, 2nd Base and Pinch Running. He loves being on the team and playing ball with all his friends.

 

 Kels made the Varsity Softball Team and rotates in at 3rd base and DH. The team started off the season beating the cross-town rival in a nail biter of a game.

Rasslin'

Lil' TK joined the wrestling team again this year. Made Varsity and was named a Captain. He's still one of the hardest working guys on the mat, regardless of what his record is. At the last regular match of the season, he went 3 periods with the opponents "stud" and though he lost the match on points, he won the moral victory (not getting pinned).

The whole team has a great family atmosphere and it's always hard when the end of the season looms. Individual Section Tournaments will end the season for the team unless we can send a few kids to State. It's been a fun year....that went by way too fast. #GoScarlets

JOBS 2015

The kids tackled the Jobs Daughter dance again this year. 

Kels was escorted by her friend. The color theme was gold and the kids looked classy and beautiful. 

Lil' TK and his girlfriend of 1 1/2 years went with purple and had a great time at the dance. And looked great doing it.

Ang may be a bit biased. The kids clean up well.

RIP Abby Lou

With heavy hearts and tears glistening in their eyes, the Kopp Crew had to say goodbye to their sweet, loving, patient and beautiful Abby Lou. A large tumor on her spleen and failing kidneys transformed her into a skin-and-bones, lethargic, sad version of herself. She was a trooper, always trying to please and love despite her pain. The Crew miss her terribly but know she is in a better place, having deep conversations and massages with Papa Dick amongst the angels.

Rest in Peace. 

Abby Lou

Abby Lou

Abby is often forgotten and not given the attention she deserves. But throughout her 10 years with the Crew, she has learned to be patient and forgiving...as well as photogenic. Ang uses her a lot to play with settings on her camera or work on pet posing. Abby, as usual, takes it with her usual smiley disposition.

Kels and the Girls

Kels asked Ang to take some pics of her group of friends. It was so fun to see all the personalities and the friendship that these girls share. These are some of Ang's favorites...
