Mother's Day

On Mother's Day, we all spent the day at dance competition.  McKinley did her best performance yet and Ethan hit a grand slam on Saturday and told me that was my mother's day present.  So proud of both my children even though some days they drive me CRAZY!  Being a mom is a big job.  Some days are harder than others.  Just pray that both of my children will have a relationship with the Lord and always put their faith in HIM!

Youth Outing to Sweet Frog

This past Wednesday we took our youth on an outing to "Sweet Frog".  Nothing like learning God's word with a big 'ol cup of frozen yogurt topped with all sorts of good stuff. 

Our scripture came from 1 Corinthians 10:31 So, whether you eat or drink, or what ever you do, do everything to the glory of the Lord.

How appropriate!  God should be on our minds in everything we do! Our young people are surrounded by so much negative influence.  We have got to keep them grounded into the word of God that will help them overcome any temptation.

Dance, Dance, Dance

Seems like forever since I last posted.  We have been extremely busy with dance, baseball and school related activities.  I have so much catching up to do.


McKinley just finished her competition season and we have only 2 weeks before recital.  She is ready for a dance break.  They have worked very hard this year and their numbers have improved so much since the beginning of the season.  McKinley got a platinum on her "Don't Rain of My Parade" solo.  She is just a beautiful dancer and I am so proud of her all of her accomplishments.  She loves dancing and dances ALL THE TIME!  She even has "dancer feet".  She has to put utter cream on her heels almost every night. One of the joys of being a dancer.

Snaggle Tooth

I can't believe that my little man lost his first top tooth!  I didn't think it would ever come out.  It has been loose for months.  He finally got up enough courage to let his daddy pull it.  The permanent tooth was already coming in under it!

Anna's Baby Shower

Today we showered my sweet friend, Anna, with gifts for her baby boy.  Since her husband, Kirby, is all into surfing and they are beach lovers we decided to have a surfer theme.  I have to say we went a little crazy with all kinds of cute stuff.  She was very happy and loved everything.  She was happy that some of her family from Charleston could be there.  Several of the first grade teachers that we work with were also there to celebrate with us.  Can't wait to see who little Kaden is going to look like. Will he be a little Kirby or a little Anna or a mixture of them both?  So much to look forward to!!

Anna is so darn cute pregnant!

Ethan's Awards Day

A few weeks ago Ethan had his award's ceremony at school.  He got two awards for the third nine weeks (Cooperation Lifeskill Award and Perfect Attendance).  He also got an award in class for finally passing his subtraction facts. He does not work well under pressure.  He knows his facts but does not like the clock.  I am so proud of his accomplishments in second grade.  He is loves Mrs. Stinson and enjoys going to school.  Thank goodness!!!

Chiefs 2B Baseball Camp

Ethan participated in the Chiefs 2B baseball camp again this year.  In this camp they work on the fundamentals of baseball and on Tuesday they played a game against each other.  It is the perfect time of year to do this camp.  The weather is beautiful and the kids enjoy doing a little something over spring break.  It was only 2 days from 9-12. Ethan enjoyed playing with his friends from school.
