Mia. Doing. Her. Thing.

I don't think there is a kid that loves playing outside as much as this one!   She CANNOT wait for warmer weather.   Every chance she gets, sometimes minutes between activities and school, she will jump on her bike, motorcycle or scooter and just be in her element!   I love that she has such a playful, carefree spirit in our busy lives!   She grounds me often!

This little turkey squeezing in some piano practice before her tennis lesson!   So proud of this little girl and her many talents.  

Cheer Awards Banquet 2018


I am so thankful for a little girl that knows how to do updo's!   She has no idea what a gift that is!



Ansley, Aubrey, and Mary Kate
Sweet Friends

This was a night of celebration.  The athletes were honored with kind words, fun games and awards.   Ansley was one of two girls on her team to be recognized by her coaches.  This little girl entered this sport a year ago with minimal skill and has climbed to the top with CONSTANT effort and hard work!   She has had some tears in the process but is always motivated to improve.  She has LOVED every single step of this year and has developed some life skills that will carry her beyond the gym.   She truly deserved the "Rookie" of the year Award!
Proud Parents!

Cheer....Cheer... and more Cheer!

If she is not at practice she is still practicing!

Addi and Ansley

Teaghan, Greer and Ansley.  Ansley LOVES these little girls (I think they love her back)!  She always has one of them on her lap or carrying them on her back!  It's kinda hard to believe that our little girl is a "big girl" to others! She has had great role models her entire life of how to treat little kids, because she has LOVED how she has been treated, now it's her turn. 


Last weekend we were in Oklahoma City for the final Cheer Competition of the regular season!  This team has improved so much over the year!   I am so proud of AP and her growth mindset.   They came in 2nd place by .10 of a point!   Still  a lot to be proud of as they head to Summit in Orlando next week.   Nothing like jumping right in our first year!

COLD in APRIL!

A couple of weekends ago we woke up to SNOW!!!  We are all ready for spring!

Daddy's buddy!  They spent the day at the shooting range then came home and cleaned guns.  


Mia has great hand eye coordination!  She LOVED shooting !

All bundled up to go to a birthday party!  We spent the day together NOT at the shooting range!

Happy Easter 2018








Ooooh!  The favorite box from Minonk arrived!  Thank you Gpa and Kim for all of the love in the form or chocolate!  The girls were so excited to see what was in their eggs this year.  This is truly a favorite family tradition!  

S. ready to compete in the egg decorating!

He wasn't playing this year!


The Easter Bunny still visits our house!

These baskets were filled with love!








The egg hunt was indoor this year.  Early morning before church , the weather was cold and rainy!   So thankful for Easter, He is Risen!

This is my favorite holiday.  I am so thankful for the gift that Jesus took on the sin of the world.  Happy Easter!
