Midnight Masquerade

Yeah the Prom is over for 2011!! I can now breathe and do a little more than worry about everything going well. The Prom was beautiful and the Junior class really surprised me with how hard they all worked. I could not have gotten it all done without them and the other Junior sponsors. I am really blessed to work with such wonderful people and have such great students.

She Can Ride on 2 Wheels

Julia learned how to ride her bike without training wheels while she was at Trey's mom and dad's for spring break. I cannot believe that she is big enough to ride without training wheels. Just another one of those obstacles that we have crossed showing that she is a big girl.

Super Bulldog Weekend

We spent the weekend in Starkville this weekend for Super Bulldog Weekend. Friday night we went to the MSU vs. Florida baseball game and got to see MSU beat #4 ranked Florida. We ran into Bully at the ballgame! The kids are always excited to see Bully walking around. After the game, we had a delicious dinner at Little Dooey's! Yummy, yummy!

Saturday we spent the day on campus. We started the day off with a little MSU baseball that was not up to MSU baseball standards. The Dawgs lost Saturday 18-0. I cringe as I write this. After about 3 innings we could not stand to watch the game anymore so we went for lunch at Oby's. Another wonderful Starkville meal. We headed back to campus to play in the Junction before the Maroon/White game. The kids got some wonderful MSU ice cream and then headed over to the Fanfair. Savannah and Julia enjoyed playing in the jumpers and Jack and Trey stood in lite to get autographs of former MSU players that are playing in the NFL now. Jack was excited to get lots of autographs on his new football. We headed over to the stadium to watch the game. It was great seeing a Winfield boy, Zack Townley, dressed in Maroon & White playing for the Dawgs.

We had a great time and cannot wait for football season to begin!

Training Update!

As I posted earlier, Trey and I are training to run a half marathon March of 2012. We are finished with week one of training and we are still functioning. I feel great running, ok maybe jogging. But I am actually doing in and I don't dread going everyday. We found out earlier this week that some other friends of ours are wanting to train with us so we are going to re-do week one. Not because we are not ready to move on, but so we can all be on the same training week together. We are running 10 minutes straight for week one. That amounts to about a mile for me. I am so proud of myself because I think the last time I ran/jogged a mile was in the 7th grade. I have never been a runner! As I said before I am determined to do this! I'll keep updating so I have it documented for myself!

I also got some new running shoes last weekend. They are great, but very bright! My feet never get sore while I am running in them, so I guess my INVESTMENT was a good one. I never thought I would spend as much on a pair of tennis shoes as I did these, but wow they were worth the money! I'll have to post a picture of them later. I can't find one on the internet like them.

Huff and Puff and Blow My 5 Candles Out

Julia celebrated her 5th birthday with a 3 little pigs birthday party. She had lots of friends and family show up to celebrate with her. They spent the afternoon jumping in the jumping house and running around in the beautiful Sunday afternoon. Mandi made her a beautiful cake that tasted wonderful as well. I still cannot believe my baby is five years old.

Opening Day 2011

Baseball season is in full effect at our house now and we love it! Jack is on our good friend Billy Stovall's team. He is already learning a lot more about becoming a better baseball player. Jack is playing 1st base this year and is batting clean up. I hope his batting lessons from last year will pay off for his team this year. Jack is doing a super job. We are so proud of him and cannot wait to see what this season holds. We started the season off great with a win of Sulligent.

Happy 5th Birthday, Julia!

I cannot believe my sweet little baby has grown up so fast. It is unbelievable that she could possibly be 5 already. How could it be this sweet little baby is already to register for Kindergarten next month.This sweet little baby completes our family! She is full of personality and lets everyone know what is on her mind. Julia knows exactly what she wants. I cannot imagine my life without this precious little girl.
