Hey, Wait! That's MY crown!

I should be the one wearing the crown. At least it's in the family. This is my second cousin, Candice Crawford (Miss Missouri 2008). She will be competing for Miss America tonight. We are proud of her!

Awesome Job!

Yeah, Carly! I am so proud of Carly! She made Honor Roll again this 9 weeks by having a 3.6 gpa or higher. She was given her medal at the Honor Roll breakfast this morning. She's so awesome!

It's Baseball Time!

Here we are. That time of year, again! Carly is out for the season from the "re-injury" to her knee. She's really bummed, but still goes and supports her friends (that happen to be on an opposing team!) BUT, my girls played Saturday night and were awesome! They really did an amazing job and we couldn't be more proud. They did not come away with a win, but with the first game under our belts, we are now ready. I do not have pics but should have some next game. CJ played today. His game on Saturday was rained out, so he played this afternoon and really did well. His team won and they were so excited. Here are highlights from his game....

CJ's first run scored. He decided to go big and slide...trip...fall?...


CJ's next run scored he remembered how hard the ground was and just decided to play it safe. But was he? He actually jumps over home plate and never touches it!

This picture is of CJ discussing a situation with the umpire, Mr. Rico. You see, it seems that the catchers mask makes it to where CJ can't see his arms, therefore, he tells Mr. Rico that he can't catch the ball because he doesn't know where his arms are....That one had the whole crowd wondering who's kid that is!

P-Finders

So, Carly gets a phone call from Ashley late Tuesday (head of the worship team for PathFinders) and Ashley's needing some help. It seems that Ashley has some important school work to do and would not be able to make it on Wednesday night! So she calls Carly to fill in for her! How exciting!?! I mean, Carly sings with the School of Rock band all the time, but this would be different. The adult band! WOW!

It just so happened that I had to sing at Highland, so I was not there to hear them but heard from a dear friend that it was AWESOME! So anyone that was there, if you have pictures or comments, I would love to see them!

Carly's Home!

WOOOHOOO! Carly is home safe and sound - thanks to Lisa at the ticket counter! Missing her early morning flight because of lengthy security lines, and being told that there are no other seats until the next day, I tried to call and get a flight, refund, apology, something....her Dad tried and finally ended up with Lisa. She found a seat, broke them to the front of the security line and they made a mad dash to the gate to find out, Awesome Lisa had placed Carly in first class. Now, that's how you treat my Baby! (she must have heard I was upset!)

Anyway, she's home and we are so glad! She makes our house so much more fun! In fact, she's at school today and CJ is home (parent teacher conference day). He's playing his Star Wars game on the Wii and said, "Mom, I need help with this game!" So I run to his rescue to see what I could do and he immediately says, "No. I need REAL help....where's Carly?" She is missed when she's not home!
CJ playing his game...til Carly gets home to help!

Fun Filled Saturday!

We took off Saturday morning and met up with the Hollingsworth's for an awesome day!! It included eating and stopping at FS Williams Country Store. Eating, then going to Port Hudson to the Battlefield. Then eating and learning some Civil War period dances. Then we watched a Civil War re-enactment and ate. We rode the ferry across the mighty Mississippi to New Roads and stopped and ate. It was awesome! Check out some pictures from the day.
Boys taking a walk back in time - well minus the porta potties!

Big day of fun...

A Day at the Park

Since the kids are out of school this week for Spring Break and the weather was beautiful today, we decided to head to the park. My friend Melissa joined us with her two boys, Nick and Logan. The kids had a blast playing, running and doing what boys do, while Melissa and I relaxed and talked about other people....(j/k!) A couple of pics from today.

The boy's climbing the rock wall.....

Check out my boy, Logan - sporting the UGA shirt! Go Dawgs!

Thanks Hollingsworth's for a really fun time! We should do it again soon!
