We have gone every year since Cole was little and since Makinleigh has been here she's gone with us. This year Shelley & Makinleigh went with us and we had a great time. The kids rode lots of rides. Hope enjoyed her first rides and wanted to ride and ride and ride! She didn't think she was "too little" to ride the "big kid" rides!! We ate lots of GOOD Food, too.</span></div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0jm0gLLxd1lmI4fhHRrSc_iT7K0fUlqL2YNMviR96YFOkqkPq3RhBwi1uyged5JPuBkwH9JaDx3aybjpPNrKmkLkJuNSVvPjtk4Chn1P88FRBmI_53KDu-mQ6SUDH11qPJz6_VPdiPhbr/s1600-h/DSC01514.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393712489761465106" style="WIDTH: 240px;

We've done this once before for her dance recital, but not since. She actually slept in them all night. Her hair was sooooo curly and I had to get a pic cause I knew after school the curls would be gone! She had to include Bubba in one of the pics :) The other pic is from her first Dance lesson this year. She does not have "private" lessons this year :). There are 5 or 6 little girls in her class this year. She is so excited about every lesson. Not that she actually dances each week, but if we can keep her focused on the sucker she gets at the end - she does!</span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcXHHfmALLCD-T5cJtzRVPlM9ib0-Pz7H3JKQ2m8qzqRCoJQnC1JICXqK9V20WowMH7mLPE1LiGuLnT_x2eg1MolYlGOx1LUsPVbrCJXI0wY-9Jmgr-4SlULUrOKJ76REvhi2y9aIO3I1T/s1600-h/DSC01382.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393705326540652306" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcXHHfmALLCD-T5cJtzRVPlM9ib0-Pz7H3JKQ2m8qzqRCoJQnC1JICXqK9V20WowMH7mLPE1LiGuLnT_x2eg1MolYlGOx1LUsPVbrCJXI0wY-9Jmgr-4SlULUrOKJ76REvhi2y9aIO3I1T/s320/DSC01382.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHi0aD-A2k6F4ycchBmm3Ap4dFvfa1YXnU19o4Ll-0or_2jgDVEnsy3cxIwN1vHKLryPWf_W6QFrAc3ndOcKyBuhs-x_-dcQ8pmh-MPKyW7P15Iv1x0hWwxy6A0ayI8LkuiXUjRW-mc4qc/s1600-h/DSC01384.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393705331895926722" style="WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHi0aD-A2k6F4ycchBmm3Ap4dFvfa1YXnU19o4Ll-0or_2jgDVEnsy3cxIwN1vHKLryPWf_W6QFrAc3ndOcKyBuhs-x_-dcQ8pmh-MPKyW7P15Iv1x0hWwxy6A0ayI8LkuiXUjRW-mc4qc/s320/DSC01384.JPG" border="0" /></a></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Also here's a pic from our Pike Co. fair parade.

Loved being with my little man and worshiping God with him!!</span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-zG8ZMkCPhYVDBpSuppk6SzDhfz2aqpP13Rj9JmUoW2kBsMiQPcVwRERpHOwu8kFbP6o-_0bLjSTdFae5K4idTiqjE_vefdX5ymaqh_KJLS_S-8f0_BYQIAQEJ5ioXgPi_OTPv_OX6zDP/s1600-h/DSC01163.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393699899088180274" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-zG8ZMkCPhYVDBpSuppk6SzDhfz2aqpP13Rj9JmUoW2kBsMiQPcVwRERpHOwu8kFbP6o-_0bLjSTdFae5K4idTiqjE_vefdX5ymaqh_KJLS_S-8f0_BYQIAQEJ5ioXgPi_OTPv_OX6zDP/s320/DSC01163.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3qaqXcHe921XWIJAbI30HBKAEMKHAgK5WhhS686R_7KJAsX0oTfKEzv-tpq2bJ3DKNN8HphGiVrRa68AM2SP2RnKGER82ayOnMIvIJTbOwfu0BEhVdIIBKXIl83IwLvXURCb_GJWe8gui/s1600-h/DSC01335.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393699896731437602" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3qaqXcHe921XWIJAbI30HBKAEMKHAgK5WhhS686R_7KJAsX0oTfKEzv-tpq2bJ3DKNN8HphGiVrRa68AM2SP2RnKGER82ayOnMIvIJTbOwfu0BEhVdIIBKXIl83IwLvXURCb_GJWe8gui/s320/DSC01335.JPG" border="0" /></a></span></div></div></div></div></div>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09349419436605218936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854139121371778468.post-21844054257513425082009-10-15T21:11:00.004-05:002009-10-15T21:33:54.944-05:001st day of school 2009<div><div><div><div>Ok, Ok, just a <strong>Little</strong> bit behind!! This year school started on a Wednesday, which I thought was silly. But they didn't ask me. Just seemed like it messed up the week, I understand that the 1st few days of school they just hand out the books and stuff. Anyway, Hope started at the Christian school again and is in the K3 class. She's actually in the "younger" 3 year old class. There are 4 kids that are still 2 and the "younger" 3 year olds are in her class also. Her teacher Ms. Kerri says Hope doesn't think she's 2 :) Not sure if that's good or bad - but even thought she's the youngest again, she def. holds her own! </div><div></div><br /><div>Cole started 5th grade this year and he is at Centerpoint Intermediate in Amity again - next year he'll move up to the high school - not sure if Mama is ready for that move! It's a little strange, because his homeroom/science teacher was my science teacher when I was in 5th & 6th grade just "a few years" ago!! I can remember 5th grade so well, because that is when we moved to Glenwood. So far he is enjoying the 5th grade, has had a couple of projects and I'm sure several more to go. The 1st nine weeks is coming up and I'm sure his grades will be Great again. I have such a smart lil' man!</div><div> </div><div>Here are some pics from the 1st & 2nd day of school - one of our traditions :)</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmmBF3uD7F_Jci64OxuNU6_A3vX_m-Ys0kzl3Dy5-H9qpynAKgBBBgFFbEbMNzjgOuPX_hK3lIyqT7eyWwqyomYlibiVVqT3H79LmPrHcNmNOQM2CzEyB8YIuZvDMQJTQxnKb0gwLnBVB7/s1600-h/DSC01302.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393019488230418818" style="WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmmBF3uD7F_Jci64OxuNU6_A3vX_m-Ys0kzl3Dy5-H9qpynAKgBBBgFFbEbMNzjgOuPX_hK3lIyqT7eyWwqyomYlibiVVqT3H79LmPrHcNmNOQM2CzEyB8YIuZvDMQJTQxnKb0gwLnBVB7/s320/DSC01302.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjozfzBahzOGQcmLgemJzagqEpWbLMz3J3MeZ1WBb2k4dRQusaCvZU0fRu5LYx-y94tQm9bwjhiSlHu81owIcJ0D58kLMVgMXb1phyfYn45Sl-wXIEjHgZ0JiXPjSFw3uA8LV_oVugF2qs7/s1600-h/DSC01304.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393019489782061058" style="WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjozfzBahzOGQcmLgemJzagqEpWbLMz3J3MeZ1WBb2k4dRQusaCvZU0fRu5LYx-y94tQm9bwjhiSlHu81owIcJ0D58kLMVgMXb1phyfYn45Sl-wXIEjHgZ0JiXPjSFw3uA8LV_oVugF2qs7/s320/DSC01304.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-whRKL1qIwEVVlEwhVtTrTNfiNP0RWIkr34puCB1BaijZbjxPcERGA7VH8RHWn3qM4Ek0OkhibNKi7RMqhPPTi1JqGWNxsrubz468ravXbNyzdM9SkkAG-TQ4EEV9odOkOKCdAQa3ndTy/s1600-h/DSC01308.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393019504642747122" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-whRKL1qIwEVVlEwhVtTrTNfiNP0RWIkr34puCB1BaijZbjxPcERGA7VH8RHWn3qM4Ek0OkhibNKi7RMqhPPTi1JqGWNxsrubz468ravXbNyzdM9SkkAG-TQ4EEV9odOkOKCdAQa3ndTy/s320/DSC01308.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiucIEvQSeWTVlahrXi-iVvU0pYVM1V-hd6ZdcnpwjH8F-lw2hExuIb7hSjEetMHFpcoQRrCFDCaqV7wQ_ge1LP0ezhPW2JVvHdhMi5nlf53cbQR09y0N-SmoXNfQRbdbmxANsbvPUbQLfp/s1600-h/DSC01309.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393019510311051970" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiucIEvQSeWTVlahrXi-iVvU0pYVM1V-hd6ZdcnpwjH8F-lw2hExuIb7hSjEetMHFpcoQRrCFDCaqV7wQ_ge1LP0ezhPW2JVvHdhMi5nlf53cbQR09y0N-SmoXNfQRbdbmxANsbvPUbQLfp/s320/DSC01309.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div></div></div>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09349419436605218936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854139121371778468.post-66754576667635568072009-09-02T16:15:00.004-05:002009-09-02T17:04:29.158-05:00Branson 2009Before Summer ended, we took a little trip to Branson. Mom and I plus the kids had a great time! We stayed at the Castle Rock Resort, which has a indoor water park and the kids LOVED it. We also went on the Showboat Branson Belle and saw the Noah Musical. They were both GREAT! I wasn't sure how Hope would do during the shows, but she did fine. On the Branson Belle she even fell asleep before they served dinner, but woke up for the singing and dancing. She really enjoyed the Noah show too with all the animals. Mom and I were even able to do Lots of shopping for school With the kids. One trip we were lucky enough for Hope to sleep through the entire shopping trip! That does not happen very often... We wrapped up the trip with GoKart riding. Cole cannot go to Branson without riding Go Karts :) We went one round in separate Karts & Yes He beat ME!! He wouldn't let me live that down! The second round we shared a ride and he DROVE - not sure if I'm really ready for that in Real LIFE though!! We had a wonderful trip and it was a nice little get-away. Got Lots of cute pics as you can see. <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR5ARu-4MXxvSc5GIDRPP6Y77nY7Qnk7rsFTZ2MT_0JbgD5qAeIXg_a1ZJ25sF0JyYjgDiuFMRhAED27KT43ijVEsJS-H1_qWK1xbJatA2zkZl_CCzJ-yLgRyiuYAjTzYAaM7GLm7W-vap/s1600-h/109_109.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px;

We had a great time tubing. Thanks Mom and Dad for taking the boat out for us. I did lose one of my fav. pairs of sunglasses. I insisted on wearing them while I was skiing, because I never fall - so I "never" lose them while I'm skiing! Well this time I DID fall- No not just fall - but Busted my hinny!! Face first into the water - bye bye glasses! Oh well, now I need to get a new pair of black shades :)</div></div></div></div>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09349419436605218936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854139121371778468.post-24447414559738227222009-07-11T17:14:00.004-05:002009-07-11T17:30:07.500-05:00Motorcycle Trip<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOKmNiBixbBDMyfBWWNjQUEzlAeis7UNDPCIUlJViCUxphIwHC3lrxHfvJEKlV2U4KUlxmxfBBNeE9GOQT0myZ5YXQyIwoS-vzGEWihsFG-ilZbAlOtzjobTxNDfTQrrxoC2hqXKXxhWJd/s1600-h/DSC00946.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357332622354679042" style="WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOKmNiBixbBDMyfBWWNjQUEzlAeis7UNDPCIUlJViCUxphIwHC3lrxHfvJEKlV2U4KUlxmxfBBNeE9GOQT0myZ5YXQyIwoS-vzGEWihsFG-ilZbAlOtzjobTxNDfTQrrxoC2hqXKXxhWJd/s320/DSC00946.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgex3OMRCrRkFcNnf8wKe1soQxK4-nSccfgsIoj59J9BiSpA-Nr26O_WTMfc6L-jvco7ztNkfrGdkpF7k7LiHGVOnOqadnUGduxBhBvkJnUcS0l7T5vOhySQ04rjDl1aAa1yIP_WfY_Sj81/s1600-h/DSC00947.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357332625813636242" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgex3OMRCrRkFcNnf8wKe1soQxK4-nSccfgsIoj59J9BiSpA-Nr26O_WTMfc6L-jvco7ztNkfrGdkpF7k7LiHGVOnOqadnUGduxBhBvkJnUcS0l7T5vOhySQ04rjDl1aAa1yIP_WfY_Sj81/s320/DSC00947.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><div>Today (Sat. July 11) Cole and Pawpaw left on a motorcycle trip. They are heading for the Grand Canyon. Planning to be home by July 19. Dad is planning to get up early and ride till early afternoon each day till they get there. They will probably make several stops because Cole's booty is gonna get pretty sore :) Their goal for tonight is to stop in Oklahoma City. It will be an amazing trip. Cole has taken my old camera and hopefully will take lots of pics. I am going to miss them both very much.

She didn't actually cry, but kept saying Nooooo, stoppppp. It was quite funny. She did so well in the boat - wearing her life jacket, sitting down while the boat was moving, & NOT crying when we jumped in the water.

She had her 1st Dance Recital with Shannon's School of Dance. She is their youngest dancer and looked like a "Big" Star that night. Our goal for starting her in dance this year was just to get her used to the classes and dancing. We (her teachers & I) were not even sure if she'd do anything on stage. Lessons started last year and they began with "fun" dances to the Wiggles music (etc.). After the 1st of the year, they began teaching her the "Recital dances." She had 2 solos and was told she could join the other groups for 2 lil' group dances. She picked up the dances very quickly, but we still weren't sure if she'd do them on stage, at a different place, and by herself! Her costumes were soooo cute. But the 1st time we tried on the bikini we scratched her with the sequins & she wanted it OFF... I thought we'd never get her in it again. It took a lot of coaxing and practice but she ended up not wanting to take it off. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Week to week in dance practice, her performance all depended on her Mood, which I guess is normal for a 2 year old. Again, we had no idea what she might do on stage - if she would even get up there. I think her teachers were truely afraid she'd run and jump off the stage (Lots of energy). However, she had different plans. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Friday night was rehearsal and she did Great - didn't even want me on the stage. That was a good sign... Saturday we had an easy day and I made sure she took a nap (had to drive around). She even had to nap in her curlers... She loved putting on the makeup. Then in the dressing room she loved all of the other girls being there and getting ready too. I think she could feel the excitement! I was so nervous and I wasn't even doing anything.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">She ended up doing her "ballet" first to the "Fishy Song." She went right out on stage all by her lonesome :) She "ate up" the clapping and yelling. She didn't really want to change clothes and was so ready to go back on stage! My aunt said I was def. given the wrong baby @ the hospital :) We were all amazed at how much she enjoyed it all. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Next was the Pirate group dance. There were 2 lil' girls group Pirate dances and actually I sent Hope out on the wrong one!! But she knew that dance too - thank goodness. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Her next dance was to a "Splish/Splash" and "Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" mix. She wore her "itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny-yellow-polka-dot Bikini" and was a HIT! She was hilarious... She started out in the wash tub and jumped up when the music started then started shaking her booty!! She even climbed out of the tub by herself and performed her dance - even ad-libbing a lil' along the way. I could not quit laughing. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">She finished up with another group number, got her toe stepped on by a tap shoe - but kept going! </span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-size:130%;">We were so proud of her. She was the lil' Star I already knew she was!

Mom's b-day was on the 21st and we celebrated by taking her out to eat. One of the pics is of Hope next to the fish tank at the resturant - looks like the fish is giving her "fishy kisses" or as she would say "shishy tisses." In one she's modeling Pawpaw's hat and in the others she's enjoying her 1st "real" motorcycle ride with Pawpaw. Until that day she would only sit on his bike, not let him start it. For whatever reason, that day he asked her if she wanted to go for a ride and she said yes. She plugged her ears and she was READY. They rode down their driveway and back up - that's far enough for now as far as Mama is concerned...<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqqzzJSE1pMxVGLf30BnyF-c2Q6anaF76hHUZY7E3gFciuKZqMr-M0kXL2THI7LJOlBZw1cT2rbXysvcVqe_msL6Dt-Q727CvnIxUUd-Y9lOlaU_wZd9uC3WDaXqhIcWBy5VMaqDiFMhQ8/s1600-h/DSC00651.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341444540922126866" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqqzzJSE1pMxVGLf30BnyF-c2Q6anaF76hHUZY7E3gFciuKZqMr-M0kXL2THI7LJOlBZw1cT2rbXysvcVqe_msL6Dt-Q727CvnIxUUd-Y9lOlaU_wZd9uC3WDaXqhIcWBy5VMaqDiFMhQ8/s320/DSC00651.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIWE2IF8oxaQ6fSIiK6wxBjmvIxfB1AsVo_CPStzRFHP-qgK6yOYKH-tT5YkDJcixCa_X2zrtYk9FnFaEiCGDxSEislZtCv4j5LDoB7k4q53AT4ARIQdIJi03VrKPOsN7Rfd-y_UxGgY_H/s1600-h/DSC00630.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341444532937698978" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIWE2IF8oxaQ6fSIiK6wxBjmvIxfB1AsVo_CPStzRFHP-qgK6yOYKH-tT5YkDJcixCa_X2zrtYk9FnFaEiCGDxSEislZtCv4j5LDoB7k4q53AT4ARIQdIJi03VrKPOsN7Rfd-y_UxGgY_H/s320/DSC00630.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidiiJSeNZyryWJ2Ig21tNISPeAAzklDmbSzbJS-P4J2XAVlFMdBcApwZ3Yw5DxAvgb_vfQjg_BKewkANSKnAgD0KwexihJw2hW0_q0jiDbdf5B8ykaurbiYhrbNU3OU0aUVw0TFd4shbov/s1600-h/DSC00629.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341444527070733250" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidiiJSeNZyryWJ2Ig21tNISPeAAzklDmbSzbJS-P4J2XAVlFMdBcApwZ3Yw5DxAvgb_vfQjg_BKewkANSKnAgD0KwexihJw2hW0_q0jiDbdf5B8ykaurbiYhrbNU3OU0aUVw0TFd4shbov/s320/DSC00629.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO_ac1opIk6cgiTTEFzFgviTzbb5HFQjlpZy7mnNk-hgSOv9R0cOgtr5gv801yViRiCOUkoI7leVO_OIMnw_v1GEq9kdfzq9IfVNVu-gswKS6LSezBjztiEBGGouhv6TrnT5pUO4bmlG6E/s1600-h/DSC00627.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341444525651582674" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO_ac1opIk6cgiTTEFzFgviTzbb5HFQjlpZy7mnNk-hgSOv9R0cOgtr5gv801yViRiCOUkoI7leVO_OIMnw_v1GEq9kdfzq9IfVNVu-gswKS6LSezBjztiEBGGouhv6TrnT5pUO4bmlG6E/s320/DSC00627.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09349419436605218936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854139121371778468.post-78064681326172881402009-05-29T20:36:00.003-05:002009-05-29T21:15:30.712-05:00Kentucky trip<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBOVvzPh_4PmwpFqvSRA1b6OjwlaOoqbA_-oQ6mt8sMJdRI2OmhB6VDv1iEoE18ilDaVdPYeiQQw9iyy9AAdrUtSfyTnX2kTN3XYyDiBf-UI2EQJ5CMpxtALkGTdO7TrcWMSdiNzbr0jJJ/s1600-h/DSC00541.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341433736340330082" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBOVvzPh_4PmwpFqvSRA1b6OjwlaOoqbA_-oQ6mt8sMJdRI2OmhB6VDv1iEoE18ilDaVdPYeiQQw9iyy9AAdrUtSfyTnX2kTN3XYyDiBf-UI2EQJ5CMpxtALkGTdO7TrcWMSdiNzbr0jJJ/s320/DSC00541.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg03AH0c1wwpmXIq7v-Z78ZmH25ubcvyEKgD_5l-8fHdJvF4mNo1v6g0yHhBaDzT9wp0psFv2RGooCaqkYsVLityb71jd9K-HqVf3XPga2IfJ3GYS-yNVauXi4Kn2W6jh67icZ5h0OIehF3/s1600-h/DSC00513.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341433724193855682" style="WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg03AH0c1wwpmXIq7v-Z78ZmH25ubcvyEKgD_5l-8fHdJvF4mNo1v6g0yHhBaDzT9wp0psFv2RGooCaqkYsVLityb71jd9K-HqVf3XPga2IfJ3GYS-yNVauXi4Kn2W6jh67icZ5h0OIehF3/s320/DSC00513.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><div>A couple of weeks ago, we traveled to Kentucky for my cousin Becky's wedding reception. She and her husband got married in Cancun in April. So the reception was just a celebration for those friends and family that were unable to make it all the way to Cancun. To <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Kirksey</span>, Ky (which is where my aunt lives) is about 7.5 hours. Mom, Cole, Hope, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Makinleigh</span> and I made the trip. As I have posted before, Hope is NOT a good car traveler - trips to LR can be <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">REALLy</span> bad. So I was really dreading the LONG trip. But our Prayers were answered during the whole weekend. The traveling weather was perfect and so were the Travelers!! Hope never once tried to get out of her <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">carseat</span>. And Cole and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Makinleigh</span> were Super!! We made great time and had a great time when we got there. Friday night we made Lots of Fruit Skewers for the reception. Saturday night was the actual reception. It was overall a very quick trip with most of the time spent on the road, but it was nice to see family again and to celebrate the newlyweds again!</div><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisG9O_IKX1SE8IzXOMqGgAEBibIMQTIAPfcihcw0OW1OPa6W3uCTQoj3k78LE8qtJO4B7fYOQpuYFtwGW6pxNslo47P_RfkqlnjbexgM4Nrryo2prKp6BFexA1dRGC7_TF-Z6mVYN3EeQu/s1600-h/DSC00544.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341433739209215602" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisG9O_IKX1SE8IzXOMqGgAEBibIMQTIAPfcihcw0OW1OPa6W3uCTQoj3k78LE8qtJO4B7fYOQpuYFtwGW6pxNslo47P_RfkqlnjbexgM4Nrryo2prKp6BFexA1dRGC7_TF-Z6mVYN3EeQu/s320/DSC00544.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09349419436605218936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854139121371778468.post-72130332171774102172009-05-24T18:25:00.003-05:002009-05-24T18:56:32.278-05:00Mother's Day 2009I'm just a little behind in posting, but I'll catch up slowly I'm sure. This Mother's Day was special. I was blessed to have Makinleigh with us for the weekend. For those of you that don't know, her mother Deandra was my best friend and she passed away 7 years ago. Makinleigh is sooo special to me and we always have a lot of fun together. Cole and her are like brother and sister. I am her "Aunt Tara" and was so proud to have her with us on Mother's day. Her nana was out of town so she came to stay with us that weekend and the next. <br /><br />After church we went with My Mama & Daddy to eat at Pearcy and had to wait a LONG time. It was worth the wait though. The food was Great and the kids were good too. <br /><br />I am also very blessed to be able to see my Mama every day. She is such an inspiration to me and a great Friend too :) I Love you Mama!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja7TGeuxEsBRkcSBBABSaGJp-TtVAkZf-Py0Mry2lv48FG6dYOoG4w-O16hb6vZ_qWJxVQshWMjpq2sRHbWVPCjlDx_hxiHMdSfIwssjpbmvO5jx2yQQnA-GC2xbwJ6K4QMj-P0utomX_M/s1600-h/008_8.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339540986213094130" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja7TGeuxEsBRkcSBBABSaGJp-TtVAkZf-Py0Mry2lv48FG6dYOoG4w-O16hb6vZ_qWJxVQshWMjpq2sRHbWVPCjlDx_hxiHMdSfIwssjpbmvO5jx2yQQnA-GC2xbwJ6K4QMj-P0utomX_M/s320/008_8.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil_G1WjLQKzDJj4RhuCUPQQQkwpgNobg2o80XazKyigfkQycPwKV93ue7M1sOy3a5ALFdyG6g2x_X94puSd9X7U-s1QUPn6Tv1g99_Qk2OVAzE_i_YW566pZ3n1OfQBnrdYbbg9vM3gZgU/s1600-h/Mom&I+cu.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339540979411473666" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 319px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil_G1WjLQKzDJj4RhuCUPQQQkwpgNobg2o80XazKyigfkQycPwKV93ue7M1sOy3a5ALFdyG6g2x_X94puSd9X7U-s1QUPn6Tv1g99_Qk2OVAzE_i_YW566pZ3n1OfQBnrdYbbg9vM3gZgU/s320/Mom&I+cu.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiocZXQqwY532jk5RsrsSKSpIZGuTIUkPsOVyCutjyEDr6lsuiYVyWu0Q2I6gM6poduIydgPsMrVVPV8ZdCJl0a-0XDYiXETWYOwbKo_LI8ETlbNifo_QBfVo0L1nCqICcliGkLenFwdfU0/s1600-h/003_3.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339540982245194274" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiocZXQqwY532jk5RsrsSKSpIZGuTIUkPsOVyCutjyEDr6lsuiYVyWu0Q2I6gM6poduIydgPsMrVVPV8ZdCJl0a-0XDYiXETWYOwbKo_LI8ETlbNifo_QBfVo0L1nCqICcliGkLenFwdfU0/s320/003_3.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH4dxn6pkV_tTMYwepVCDJGcbplKtvZoD5xPXnNApniwhImFIdqg8O8dEAyel9_zKfpAxvqJBcbDVzS_F6RfA5qcbuCSQbu_g0hyRo3tii5h2qDTTWoJso0vfNQ48MRx4mzY07zk1Vc8Gg/s1600-h/001_1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339540978815926338" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH4dxn6pkV_tTMYwepVCDJGcbplKtvZoD5xPXnNApniwhImFIdqg8O8dEAyel9_zKfpAxvqJBcbDVzS_F6RfA5qcbuCSQbu_g0hyRo3tii5h2qDTTWoJso0vfNQ48MRx4mzY07zk1Vc8Gg/s320/001_1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09349419436605218936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854139121371778468.post-6121265563002496552009-04-29T15:04:00.002-05:002009-04-29T15:15:01.673-05:00Another Fav.Mandisa<br />"Not Guilty"<br /><br />I stand accused<br />There's a list a mile long<br />Of all my sins<br />Of everything that I've done wrong<br />I'm so ashamed<br />There's nowhere left for me to hide<br />This is the day<br />I must answer for my life<br />My fate is in the Judge's hands<br /><br />(Chorus)<br />I know you<br />I love you<br />I gave My life to save you<br />Love paid the price for mercy<br />My verdict not guilty<br /><br />How can it be?<br />I can't begin to comprehend<br />What kind of grace<br />Would take the place for all my sin?<br /><br />I stand in awe<br />Now that I have been set free<br />And the tears well up<br />as I look at that cross<br />'Cause it should have been me<br /><br />My fate was in the nail scarred hands<br />He stretched them out for me<br />and said<br /><br />Chorus<br /><br />I'm falling on my knees to thank You<br />With everything I am I'll praise You<br />So grateful for the words I heard<br />You say<br /><br />Chorus<br /><br />I haven't heard this one on KLove yet, just on her new album "Freedom."

Originally, the resort where they were staying and having the wedding did not allow kids. But at the beginning of the year, they found out that they had made a portion of the resort for families. So Becky asked if Hope & Cole could be her flower girl and ring bearer. Mom and Dad had already planned to go so we decided to join them. Cole is such a "traveler" - he's always up for a trip, especially if there's swimming involved. I wasn't too sure how Hope was going to do on the planes, because she not the greatest Car traveler.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;">Our plans were to spend the night in Little Rock Sunday evening (Easter) and leave on the airplane to Atlanta about 7:30am. We were scheduled to actually arrive in Cancun @ 1:30pm. Everything was fine until we got closer to Atlanta when we went into a storm. That had to be the WORST Flight I've ever been on - the turbulence was terrible! We had not been in the air very long before a lady in front of Mom and Cole started Puking. To add to all this, Hope decided she needed to poop a Hundred times while on this flight!! When we actually got to Atlanta the pilot attempted to land (I could see the runway out my window - very close to the ground) and then pulled the plane back up I guess because we were swaying so much. Needless to say I was ready to get OFF that plane. I was beginning to feel queasy too. I don't do well when Hearing & Smelling puke + Poop + Roller Coaster motions. Our plane was rerouted to Chattanooga TN - that meant another 30 min. in the air. I went to the bathroom trying to escape the smells, but it didn't help much. When I got back to my seat, I needed a "barf bag" - 2 actually. The whole time I was sick Hope was saying "OK Mama? OK?" Really sweet, but her 100th poopy diaper had set me OFF! Anyway I felt much better after that. We had to wait about 30 minutes in Chattanooga and then headed back to Atlanta. By then we had missed our connecting flight to Cancun...</span></div></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;">Poor Dad had to talk to several agents before finding out that the only flight to Cancun was leaving @ 6:05 pm (which ended up being delayed an hour) and we were on Standby. We had lots of time to kill in the Airport - not even knowing if we were going to get on the flight. After a couple hours we did find out we had confirmed seats - Thank God (that wasn't the 1st time I had thanked Him that day!) Thank goodness for DVD players and Dora the Explorer!! Amazingly Hope and Cole were great during the super Long day. Anyway we did finally make it to Cancun @ 9:00. We made it to the resort about 10:30 or 11pm. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;">The resort was Fabulous!!! All inclusive, gorgeous setting and surroundings, 24 hour room service, hot tub in room, hammocks on the balcony & Big Lizards! A little something for Everyone :) </span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;">Tuesday we all met for Breakfast then Uncle Bob, Becky, Shawn(her husband), Dad &</span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;">Cole went on a Mayan Ruins tour. Aunt Jane, Mom, Hope and I hung out by the pool and ocean all day. Very relaxing... That evening they had a "Pirate Show" that was very entertaining - although Hope feel asleep during it :)</span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;">Wednesday - Wedding Day 6:00pm - met for breakfast again then hung around the pool and ocean while Aunt Jane, Becky, Angie, and Amber got ready for the wedding.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;">The ocean was blocked by a large rock wall that allowed water into a cove area, in which you could snorkel and swim and kayak. Dad and Cole snorkeled then Cole and I kayaked. We then went to our rooms to rest before the wedding. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;">Cole and Hope were to carry large shells containing the rings and rose petals. Becky and her dad rode to the Wedding gazebo in a carriage pulled by a white horse (Gorgeous - like a fairytale). Cole and Hope went before the bridesmaids (Angie - Becky's sister- my other cuz and Amber - Becky's good friend). Hope did not want to drop the petals - she did accidently and went back to pick it up! It was a beautiful ceremony... Becky was stunning of course. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;">After the wedding, we all had dinner @ the steak house in the resort. It was a nice time to visit with everyone and of course EAT! Hope kept Amber's little boy Jacob entertained. I think they liked each other just a little bit!!</span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;">Thursday - We were scheduled to leave the resort @ 9:30 to head to the airport, but didn't leave till after 10am. We actually left the airport in Cancun around 1:30pm. Good Flight too!! I thought we were home free after that!! After getting to Atlanta we had to go through customs and all that stuff - so it took a while. When we got to our next terminal, Cole realized he had left his PSP (playstation portable) on the plane!!! He's only had it a few weeks and bought it with his Bday money (he's been saving for a while). He's was Very upset to say the least. So Dad came to the rescue Again and began the process of trying to find it, by talking to the Delta agents and calling Lost and Found - which he could never get through to!! At that point all we knew was that our plane had already left and it was not turned in to the gate we landed at. Our flight back to LR was much better too - Hope slept the whole way :) </span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:100%;color:#330033;">But when we got to LR, we found out our luggage did not come with us!! It did arrive on the next flight @ 11:00pm. We didn't wait on it, because they couldn't tell us for sure that it would be on that flight.

We had it on Saturday this year because it was more convenient for everyone to get together. We enjoyed the food, fellowship, & hunting eggs. Right now our youngest kiddos are girls (4 under 4 years old). Only 3 of the girls were there this year and again I was amazed at how well they play together. Yes, there are moments of no sharing, but overall they do very well together. Cole also hunted eggs, but spent the rest of the time hanging with cousin Jacob. </div><div> </div><div>That evening we began packing for our trip to Cancun. We headed to Little Rock Sunday afternoon to stay the night, because we had to be at the airport so early Monday morning. </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIghoTuNZngWgjpUmyAby65fuNcp8-OaVDyEbgcbNA1sRlBo4mf3XsGf27O-iPGUzEg2VBI14Yjr5S4yHFFVtozEOqJf6XHtEGX4MGa1bIzuxa98AiJ0ufH7a6g6zNXRih1jC_0FjwNCzt/s1600-h/DSC00116.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325850692127199186" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIghoTuNZngWgjpUmyAby65fuNcp8-OaVDyEbgcbNA1sRlBo4mf3XsGf27O-iPGUzEg2VBI14Yjr5S4yHFFVtozEOqJf6XHtEGX4MGa1bIzuxa98AiJ0ufH7a6g6zNXRih1jC_0FjwNCzt/s320/DSC00116.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDHx7bbjVaewX0AIKIpIIZPM5nhyrNVBQrfBC5ZtoSYlut-AB7hmvzu84wTuHt4dUa3PZVLWHQJv7FXazm6ZSo5kOrDdYwlHmZkfY_j64RX5vUrvwhr9x_8JhtOsMHFLHEbsEIfXxdB-2M/s1600-h/DSC00104.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325850687888362962" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDHx7bbjVaewX0AIKIpIIZPM5nhyrNVBQrfBC5ZtoSYlut-AB7hmvzu84wTuHt4dUa3PZVLWHQJv7FXazm6ZSo5kOrDdYwlHmZkfY_j64RX5vUrvwhr9x_8JhtOsMHFLHEbsEIfXxdB-2M/s320/DSC00104.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div></div>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09349419436605218936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854139121371778468.post-73937062556310775062009-04-01T22:10:00.005-05:002009-04-02T22:25:02.308-05:00Zoo Trip<div> This week is Spring Break + 1st of the month = free week for kids and busy week @ work for me. I took off Monday so we could at least have 1 day together to do something "fun" on break. Cole decided he wanted to see a movie and after some brainstorming we decided on seeing a movie "Monsters vs Aliens" in Little Rock then going to the Zoo afterwards. Then we asked Courtney if she and Boston wanted to meet us there - they did.<br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div></div><div>It was a Gorgeous day and we all had a blast. This was Hope's and Boston's first trip to the zoo. I think Hope may have enjoyed it just "a little" bit more than Boston (he slept through most of it :) ) Hope had to tell every animal HI and Bye Bye. All morning she kept saying "I wanna ooooo" - translates into I want to go to the zoo! Not sure if she even knew what that was till we got there. She loved the animals and the outdoors. I think Cole had a good time too - he kept ahead of us - informing us on what was coming up next. </div><br /><div></div><div>I think Cole's highlight of the day was getting to hold Baby Boston. He talked about that a lot on the way home :) Even Hope had to tell Mimi about the "oooo and Baby nite nite and Baby Mama" - translation again "zoo, Baby Boston was asleep, and Aunt Courtney was there aka Boston's mama!!</div><br /><div></div><div>The car ride to and from was great. I was very thankful for the uneventful trip. It was a special day - got to spend it with my Special children and with a Special friend and new "nephew."</div><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguaf1ufFRHbY1-IB2cgbj5krEjcxoNZEYBIgdlgmLQCY8R0vCZE_CtqImKAexZU-WYgdeCj6XJ-dmP-omn1cOoaLS0zlZQ9fgmFhbvpF5cVJ8XfnD3gInIZgFwd1sM5f16x8H2RAqoxcaO/s1600-h/DSC01827.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319933623345643170" style="WIDTH: 320px;

We didn't have time after church for a full golf game before church that evening so we just went to the driving range. Hope and I cheered him on for about an hour (actually maybe less than that). He practiced for about an hour. Hope cheered then she would pick up "trashhh" and put it in the trash can :) It was such a beautiful day.

She had a "Princess" party and fun was had by all. The girls played dress-up and danced around like Pros! In our family, the last 4 babies have been girls and they are each about 1 year apart. The youngest just turned 1 yr but she lives out of state. I'm sure if she lived here she would join right in the little group. As they have grown it has been interesting to watch them play together and interact. At the party I was very surprised by how well they played and worked together. Madelyn had Lots of help opening her presents and didn't seem to mind it. By the Way, Cole had fun too - Ryan let him ride his 4-wheeler :) Family is GREAT!!</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBvtaWimLZR01PYNkOiLZoiXb8WOXzhVMTEZdlQY_WkxGf-aUjqG2jhVft67sbEHlXxEpOUJjDP2dF5CxHiCra_0sqAqcRD_SftqBz6Tta2xvn9tYp4SqF4gpq-XBS40xx24FbwE-4Plyn/s1600-h/DSC01754.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319181996264911634" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBvtaWimLZR01PYNkOiLZoiXb8WOXzhVMTEZdlQY_WkxGf-aUjqG2jhVft67sbEHlXxEpOUJjDP2dF5CxHiCra_0sqAqcRD_SftqBz6Tta2xvn9tYp4SqF4gpq-XBS40xx24FbwE-4Plyn/s320/DSC01754.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGhN7_WuEfLSG8mC1aPs_RDMYeFZJQQ9n0eBUfEb8PgvRlUwFODtYeYogAJi_YnxZTyJPa55MdEjs2lB26CT-0OnaXTW6TxL5SdnZ-mutzi45fgDxq6IMHBJBudFqJaLRoezRuLL0ysL8t/s1600-h/DSC01748.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319181987458140882" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGhN7_WuEfLSG8mC1aPs_RDMYeFZJQQ9n0eBUfEb8PgvRlUwFODtYeYogAJi_YnxZTyJPa55MdEjs2lB26CT-0OnaXTW6TxL5SdnZ-mutzi45fgDxq6IMHBJBudFqJaLRoezRuLL0ysL8t/s320/DSC01748.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLU45a6mMIoeXuh7bYwzzr5-no8v7Dn69Tb6Om_kk7JMusDcBnJ3xpBuxvu1iNAlIMFsGrTTM_5Umu-kA841jFm3mK-7EZd1i-U_YtGJlivpz-H7isjivHEPOAs01TpZ5lScb3ZeFRqxsy/s1600-h/DSC01720.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319181983206292898" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLU45a6mMIoeXuh7bYwzzr5-no8v7Dn69Tb6Om_kk7JMusDcBnJ3xpBuxvu1iNAlIMFsGrTTM_5Umu-kA841jFm3mK-7EZd1i-U_YtGJlivpz-H7isjivHEPOAs01TpZ5lScb3ZeFRqxsy/s320/DSC01720.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div></div>Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09349419436605218936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854139121371778468.post-91591544566078358162009-03-23T15:12:00.003-05:002009-03-29T21:51:21.375-05:00Jonquil Festival in Old Washington 2009<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtcFGB_V5vQHR2JaKKQhqVhXYrcEE-v6DP35TmmP_XY1m2R1RddMMbHazMlR7YCT7H98iLhZYmQQ_No_ZM1voOD1kY6Uazjuls3YD3EFkOp-s1s_ZPEUw7AMqXxhusPmy1uJt3S8oTaaA1/s1600-h/DSC01688.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318807117957827074" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 259px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtcFGB_V5vQHR2JaKKQhqVhXYrcEE-v6DP35TmmP_XY1m2R1RddMMbHazMlR7YCT7H98iLhZYmQQ_No_ZM1voOD1kY6Uazjuls3YD3EFkOp-s1s_ZPEUw7AMqXxhusPmy1uJt3S8oTaaA1/s320/DSC01688.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><div><div><div>We went to the Jonquil Festival in Old Washington on Saturday. It was a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">gorgeous</span> day. It was a pretty quick trip but got some pretty pictures and ate some good food. Most of the daffodils had gone away (I thought it was a little late this year) but we found one hill that had some pretty ones left. Maybe next year we'll make it up to Wye Mountain. I've been hesitant about going up there because of the distance. Hope is still not a great car rider.

The 4<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> grade Gold Knights team won the Mt. Pine tournament and finished their season Undefeated. Tonight they played Mt. Pine (this was their 1st yr to play <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">bball</span> but they were very good) @ 6:30 and won. Then they had to play the other <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Centerpoint</span> 4<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">th</span> grade team (they split them into 2 teams last yr and this yr b/c there were so many boys playing) who was also undefeated until their last regular season game which they lost. This ended up being the Championship game - <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Centerpoint</span> vs. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Centerpoint</span>!

I am very proud of our boys - they have all improved over the season and seemed to enjoy themselves out there. Cole even took a couple of shots tonight, stole the ball and had some good rebounds.

They finished the regular season UNDEFEATED!! That included 11 games total. They play in a Tournament @ Mt. Pine Friday night and we'll see if they continue this record. They have practiced very hard this season and it has shown. They have also had a very patient and encouraging coach. I don't think I'd have that much patience with 10 - 10 yr old boys!!! I will post his BBALL pic later.Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09349419436605218936noreply@blogger.com0
