Bubba the Crocodile!

It's been a few years since we last saw Bubba the Crocodile.  We saw him at Uncle Jerry's 4th of July party and at Wesmere.  Now we got to meet him at Presley's Boy Scout Pack Night!  This time we got patches saying we met him!  

Family Dance!

 This year our school decided to host a family dance rather than a daddy/daughter dance or a mother/son dance.  It was right after New Year's so we did a countdown and balloon drop.  

The girls had fun!  They met up with their friends.  Here is Evie with Fiona.

OF course Piper was there too!

The girls had fun dancing the night away.

Evie and her little posse with Piper, Charlotte, and Sophia.

Presley and Daddy had matching hats!

The big girls were too cool to dance.  They had to hang out in the corner.  

But Evie got to steal some dances with Daddy.

Pretty soon it was time for the balloon drop.

There they are!

Presley hung out with Ethan.

And before we knew it, it was midnight aka 9:00!  Ha!

We had a great time and there was even a photo booth there!

It was great and we can't wait until next year's dance!

Happy New Year 2019

The New Year started out by hosting a New Year's Eve party with some friends.  My boys, NKOTB, were performing on Dick Clark New Year's Rocking Eve.  I love them so much!  I made sure to tune in and watch!

Colton and Evie had a blast getting out the decorations like the hats, tiaras, and blow horns.

We got out some games and the kids and adults had fun playing.

The kids had a blast.

Right before midnight, we poured some sparkling wine.

 Then we headed out side for some poppers.

Colton and Presley tried out their new shark tails.

The girls had fun with Snapchat.

The kids sure had a blast though.  They played good all night and had so much fun playing games.

Happy 2019!   Hope it's a good year!

Happy 12th Birthday Gracie!

You’re 12!

Another year has come and gone

You are already 12 years old

You are one more year to being a teenager

You’re getting older, wiser, and bold

It still seems like yesterday you were my little baby girl

You came on your own time

When I finally got to meet you, I looked in your blue eyes

And knew that you would forever be mine

The years have flown by and now you are here

Ready to start 7^th grade

You had a great first year in middle school

I’m so proud of the effort you gave

You joined cross country and track

And did a lot of running

You helped out with the spring musical too

Alice in Wonderland was quite stunning

You also joined the cooking club

And learned to make all kinds of things

You keep a binder of all your recipes

But pizza casserole and mac and cheese bites are your favorite things

You had great teachers

And made good grades

You even got to go to Medievel Times

And watch the jousting charades

You still love Girl Scouts and I’m still your leader

We do all kinds of fun things

This year our troop hosted a cupcake wars

You love all the fun our troop brings

This summer you went to Girl Scout camp too

You attended a cooking one

You camped out in a tent

And had fun in the sun

Some things have stayed the same though

Your favorite color is still green

Your favorite animal is still pandas

And you still think Evie and Presley can be mean

I can’t believe how fast time goes

How the years really do fly

I wish time would slow down

I often watch old home movies and sigh

I’m so proud of everything you’ve accomplished

And your effort to try something new

I will always be your biggest supporter

Because no one else is like you

I want you to always go for your goals

Set your sights high and reach for your dreams

Know that you can be do anything you want

Because I know you are going to do great things

So Happy Birthday to my Gracie Girl

May 12 be your best year yet

Stay just the way you are

And continue to have fun and you are set

Love, Mommy
