Kalei was invited to the ROTC Military Ball this past Saturday, which also happened to be Valentine's Day~She said she had a wonderful wonderful time. I was sooo nervous for her. I think I was more nervous than her date. It was actually her first official date that had to face the "wrath" of Terry. I am so proud of Terry as well, he behaved himself very well.....I only had to threaten him a few times! They look absolutely beautiful!
That's right....It's that time again! Softball season is starting! From now until May we are basically consumed with softball. Kalei is trying out for the high school team on Monday, please keep her in your thoughts and prayers that day for strength and agility! The other two will be playing for our local league. After the storm in the fall our girls league fields were used to store the storm debris so we were unable to have a fall season, therefore the girls are more than ready for the games to begin! I am just as excited. It's a busy time for our family but I wouldn't trade a single minute of it...guess I better get my softball mom shirt out time to work on my tan! That's one benefit of sitting out in the sun all day you get a nice tan for free!
I cannot believe six years has passed since my baby girl was born. My how time goes by sooo quickly. It still seems like yesterday. She has grown and changed so much from that dark haired little bundle they handed me December 21, 2002 at 1:13 am. I have uploaded a few pictures of Lauren's past six years. The first is her hospital debut, followed by a 6 month picture where she had started showing patterns of female baldness! Followed by her second birthday where she was definitely a blondie with blue eyes! Easter 2005 in the blue dress...(pictures always have been a challenge :0)... Her 6th birthday cake making a wish and her first school picture, kindergarten 2008. Happy Birthday my sweet little blue eyed girl! We love you!
Hello All...
What a busy month! Where did the time go? I can't believe it is only 8 days til Christmas! There has been no time for blogging, I haven't even had time for sleeping! Well the last month has been very, very busy. Terry left for a week after my last blog posting, which leaves me to do everything with little time to spare. During that week I worked at both the dr's office and the hospital. I also managed to squeeze in dancing, a softball meeting, and the fun run. Erin was chosen as an alternate for the school fun run and ended up getting an opportunity to participate as well. She came in 13th place out of approximately 7o kids from surrounding schools. I was very proud of her, however, probably not as proud as she was of herself. Kalei had the chance to participate in the fun run as well when she was Erin's age. Erin placed much higher than Kalei and was beaming with excitement....Lauren's comment...."I could have done better than both of yall." gotta love Lauren!
Weeks past after the fun run and I still didn't have the opportunity to blog, just too busy, in all the Christmas hustle and bustle, holiday parties etc. I did, however, take the opportunity to snag a few shots of everyday life because the blog is always in the back of my mind! Here is the snow we experienced here in Houston last week. Amazing! It was very warm and humid the day prior to the snow. It snowed on Wednesday and it was supposed to be in the 60's the next day. Love the saying, "if you don't like the weather here, stick around it will change shortly." Here is a picture of our sago palm in the snow, there is something not quiet right with this picture...palm+snow???
My beautiful little ballerina. I never thought she would do it but she did a wonderful job at her first recital!
