Katie is LOVING soccer this year! yeah!! : )

We have started another season of Spring Soccer for little Miss Katie Grace....she wasn't incredibly enthused by it last year but for some reason this year she decided she was about SOCCER so she talked her Daddy into being her coach again (doesn't take much to talk him into doing that, by the way!) and they had their first game a couple of weeks ago.  She is doing so great and loving it so far!  I am just proud of her positive attitude about it and her constant smile when she is out on the field.  As I told her last week at her game...."Girlie, you are always look like you are having so much fun out there and Mommy LOVES to see that!"  : )  Now to see if she continues to like it, especially when it's rainy and muddy!  Let's just enjoy this moment while we can, right??!! 

Waverly Talent Show 2012.....

Our elementary school once again hosted a talent show for all of the very awesome kiddos in our school! I love going to hear and see all of the fun things that the kids perform for everyone. And am always so amazed at how brave they are to get up in front of everyone on stage and show their stuff. This year Allie decided to dance instead of sing like she did last year....because, as she informed me, "superstars need to be multi-talented!" ; ) She did a great job making up a dance routine to one of her favorite songs. I was especially proud of her putting it together on her own! Lauren did not perform last year but decided this year she was ready to do her thing so she and her friend Olivia decided to sing together to the song "My Girl" by the Temptations...an oldie but goodie! I still love that song! They also did so good.....and were so cute up there on stage together! All in all, the kids had a great time and performed really well.....I always leave our school programs so thankful for our small country school where everybody knows everybody and parents always show up to support these wonderful kids! : )

Spring Break and Happy Easter!!! : )

We have enjoyed some unusually warm weather around here this spring....yeah! : ) But getting a week off for spring break is just as welcoming...whether it's from enduring 2 feet of snow for 2 months or not! As has been for the past 3 or 4 years, Jason had a work conflict during our spring break week but we made the most of it and were able to head down south with him this time (not sunny Florida but Nashville, TN instead!) and take advantage of a few free nights of hotel, swimming at an indoor pool and lots of eating out!!! WOOOHOOO! The girls and I had fun visiting one of the many nice parks in the area, as well as a trip to the Nashville Zoo. Daddy had to work alot (understandably since it was a business trip for him....) but we still enjoyed dinners out w/ him after work and then he was able to take off early Thursday and all day Friday and we spent that time in Nashville at the Opryland Hotel and the nearby OpryMills Mall......yes, I was a very happy girl! : ) Once we were back in town, we celebrated Easter with a wonderful worship service at church and then enjoyed lunch with family at Grandma and Papa's house! Now its back to the "real world" with mounds of laundry, homework and after-school activities.....Calgon, take me away......HAHA! : )
