Ballet and Gymnastics Finale

I am one very proud Mama! Bailey did fantastic preforming in front of the parents last week during her last ballet/gymnastics class.  She nailed her little routine and it was the cutest thing ever! More importantly she LOVED every minute of it!  I will definitely be signing her up next year again.  Its amazing what the her teacher Mrs. Kat taught those girls and how she got them to focus and listen.  Bravo! 

Soccer

Jackson is playing his first team sport-soccer...and I am his coach (I know, how did I get talked into that one?). John has been helping to assist me, but he has never played before so he mainly just does what I say :) ha! Jackson did pretty good for his first time ever, I mean, he has never even seen a game before...ever.  And our team only had one practice before the game.  BUT, I am not one of those Mama's who just brags about their child when there is nothing to brag about...lol.  Bless his heart, the boy just can't focus. He was more worried about playing on the playground and watching to see if the ball went out of bounds, instead of running after it.  He was super cute with all of his facial reactions...he has about a million.  He looked like he was ready for battle every play! 

We also had a LOT of family at this game. Amy, Dan, and the kids...Mimi and Diddy, Em and Anderson, Grandma and Grandpa, and Uncle Bud and Aunt Meghan.  So he did GREAT in my eyes that he even went out on the fields and didn't get shy. Two years ago that same boy probably wouldn't have even stepped foot on the field, let alone try to play in front of all those people. And for that I am super proud! 

Avery's 7th Birthday

It was Avery's 7th birthday a few weeks ago.  I still can't believe it was 7 years ago that I went to meet her in the hospital.  Time flies. Her and Bailey are just so sweet with one another. They really share a very special cousin bond. She is for SURE hands down Bailey's favorite "friend". And Avery just takes such good care of her and always helps her. We just love going for a visit to Auburn :) The kids played soooo hard.  I think Jackson spent about 10 hours outside just going non-stop. What a fun day it was. 

Clifford

I had our church's consignment sale this weekend (I am on the committee) so the LAST thing I wanted was to take Clifford home this weekend.  Clifford is Jackson's class "pet" and you take him home and make a collage of all the things you did with him over the weekend.  It turned out ok, we were super busy and he got to meet a LOT of our family ;)  Thank God for John, who supports me volunteering...even though he says I over commit myself sometimes ;) He took the kids to the playground, Waffle House, and to see the Lego Movie while I was gone all day Saturday.
