DANCING QUEEN

Avri has started dance this year and after one class she is hooked. She loved getting dressed up and jumps right into class. She loves pink, so her leotard is a perfect fit for her. I am excited to see her in her first performance. She will get to do the Nutcracker at Christmas and an end of the year recital, it will be sooo cute!

LIke a fish out of water

So we went to the Lake with our friends the Copenhavers, Gannuscios, and Bissots and had a GREAT TIME! I loved that the kids got to play together, the boys got to know eachother better, and the girls do what we always do "chat it up". The only problem is that I am terrified of any body of water containing live creatures. I attempted several times to get into the lake, but only managed to make it a couple inches before screaming back to shore. My friends, always supportive, laughed and taunted me from the water and shore. Thankfully I found my refuge in a little boat and got some time in the water.

We ate, laughed, played games, pulled our hair out, and loved every minute of it! Thanks Bissots for inviting us and thank you to Greg's mom and dad for having us!

First day of School!

Well here he is.... my 2nd grader! Ain't he cute! I cannot believe this baby is already reading, writting, doing math, and it is to fast! I really understand when people say they wish they could freeze time. This 7 years have flown bye and I don't even know where it went. Just think another go around and he will be 14!!! HELP! I cannot handle it!

I am so proud of him! He had come so far!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bye Bye Barney!

WE DID IT! We finally got that awful purple house painted and I loves it! My neighbors actually began to come up and speak to me. I guess that realize that we are not as crazy as our house looked! A little paint can do wonders for your social life!

Gatlinburg!!! Yes, I am finally catching up my blog!

Well eons and eons ago, actually about three weeks, we took our church youth group to Gatlinburg. They are a great bunch of kids and we had the best time! My kids tagged along as grandmomma and Papa are worn out from our other trip. We went to the Dixie Stampeed where we go to be involved in the show and Dollywood which sounds cheesy, but was really lots of fun!
