SO HAPPY TO SEE MY BOYS DOING WHAT THEY LOVE AGAIN~

Carson finally got the approval to play ball again.  It's so nice to see that smile back on his face.  There's a passion in both of these boys that I can't describe when it comes to the game of BASEBALL!  Here's hoping for a great season and an injury free boy.

RYLEIGH'S DR.SEUSS FACE---SHE CRACKS ME UP!!!! SHE SAYS ALL CHARACTERS IN THE BOOKS LOOK LIKE THIS...I BELIEVE SHE'S RIGHT!

DADDY DAUGHTER DANCE

Those of you who know Dave well know that he's not a fan of dancing unless it's in the privacy of his kitchen doing the "Running Man" or "Sprinkler" haha!!!  He's such a good daddy and good sport though.  He was big man on the dance floor.  The girls said he never quit dancing and didn't worry what one other person was thinking.  That's a big deal for him!!!!  The girls love being with their dad.  He's so good to them, always telling them how pretty and talented they are.  They all had a blast and made some great memories!

Stake Conference and meeting Elder Gary Stevenson, presiding Bishop of the Church.

The Memphis Stake had the opportunity of having Bishop Stevenson speak at our Stake Conference.  I was so excited because I knew we had a connection.  He and my Dad were great friends in High School and I couldn't wait to introduce myself.  Once I did he said "Of course, you're one of the twins!!!"  with a great big hug to follow.  We didn't get to talk long but I was so happy to be able to say hello and to have Carson get to meet him too.  I hope that's an experience he'll take with him forever.  We don't get many "big wigs" out here so it's always a treat when we do. Of course he spoke on non other than Missionary Work.....The southern fields are definitely white and READY to harvest........

I think we may have another BALLER on our hands!!!!

 HALL OF FAME LITTLE ROCK 2/13

The girls and I had a great time at our first away dance competition.  We made the short road trip to Little Rock and danced all weekend long....I don't know who comes out more exhausted, the moms or the dancers???  It was so fun to spend some alone time with just Cara and Ryleigh.  Their company did great and took top studio.  I love watching my girls dance-They're both beautiful dancers. They both have their different strengths which has been so really fun to watch.  We had a wonderful time, made some new friends, and great memories!!

 CMS BASKETBALL 2012-2013

 DISTRICT CHAMPS

Carson's middle school team had an excellent season and came out district champs.  Carson started the season off with an injury so he had to come in strong and prove himself (once again) once he was cleared to play.  And that he did.....he never fails to succeed and play hard.  It's obvious that the talent in Memphis is first rate.  Carson has some of the toughest competition in the nation right here in his back yard.  We're not sure how long he'll be able to hang with some of these inner city Memphis boys but one things for sure....he gives it his all, gives his coaches everything he's got and loves the game.  Can't wait to see what the future holds for him in basketball.
