Show Day at Little Gym for Leah

Leah is our little dare devil or should I say monkey. She did great on her routines and showed everyone all the little tricks she learned... and even though she is 6 months younger than most of the kids, she showed them who the "queen of the gymnastic bars" really is! We are so proud of her and, of course, she laughed all the way through it!

Show Day at Little Gym for Noelle

Noelle did so great at her Show Day at Little Gym. She did her whole routine (floor, beam and bars) with a smile and was so good! She has come a very long way since September and is doing some really big girl stuff in class. In the fall, she moves up to the Giggle Worms and will learn more new tricks and we can't wait... she just loves gymnastics!

Preschool Graduation

Noelle graduated from the 3 yr old class last week. She loved school and will miss Ms. Misty, who she also adored. The kids did such a great job on their program for school and got a graduation certificate and a special gift from Ms. Misty... a big matted collage of pictures from all the fun events throughout the school year. Noelle sang a solo and did so GREAT... she just stood up and belted out her song to the backrow... we were so proud of her. If only Mommy can figure out how to turn the video around so it is upright... so turn your head to the right to see my big performance.

Papa drove all the way up from Little Rock just to be there for my big day and Grandma Judy drove from work to watch me too! Papa suprised me with a big bouquet of roses and I got $20 from Grandma to go shopping. When it was all over, we all went to have a picnic in the park and play!

Take me out to the ball game, take me out to the crowd.

We took Noelle and Leah to their first ballgame to see the NW Arkansas Naturals play last week. Of course, the highlight of the kid's time was eating all the ballpark junk food and playing in the kid's area. Noelle thinks baseball is neat and is already wanting to play Tball next spring. It is really amazing that Noelle actually shared her M&Ms with Leah. What is more amazing is Leah did not get sick from eating Cheetos, hot dogs, MMs, Popcorn and Orange Drink... she looked like she was going to blow for awhile but she held it in and was soon bouncing off the walls. The fireworks were a hit at first but after they got too loud, Leah buried her head into my chest and kept saying, "Mommy, turn on the lights peazzz".

Leah also enjoyed the music as she ate and danced between the seats.

Visiting our sweet Mema

We are so thankful for every moment we can spend with Mema. She is such a wonderful lady and we love her very much. The top picture is Mema with Grandma Judy and Uncle Dave and the bottom picture is our Motley Crew with Grandma Judy.
