Spring portraits

We had to get some quick spring photos of the kids.  We didn't have the time or money to get the super nice ones done this time around, but they turned out ok.  Picture day is exhausting with 4 kids!!  I'm just happy to have semi good pictures of my cute little monsters!


Josh age 14, Caile age 12, Peyton age 7, and Preston age 20 months







Bravo Caile!

Caile just finished up her first Middle School play!  They did "Music Man Jr."  She was cast as a River City Citizen.  I was surprised how much of the play she was in!  There were very few scenes without her.  She worked so hard for it!  She spent so many days at the school practicing until 5 pm.  Not to mention she was heading to school at 5:45 for soccer practices.  I'm just amazed by her will and determination!  I'm sad to say that I didn't get much video of the play....since this was "strictly prohibited due to copy right laws".  I caught a couple little things of her, but they are shaky and not very good.  I sat in a weird spot, so I didn't get good pictures either :( .  We have some friends that did get a few pictures of her because they were in the front row.  When I get those, I'll post them on here!  I wish you all could have been there to see her!  She danced and sang her little heart out.....and didn't even seem nervous!  I will take some credit for making sure she looked beautiful!  I spent an hour and a half, every night of the play, fixing her hair and makeup.  Honestly, I enjoyed it!  She looked gorgeous, if I may say so myself!  I just have to say, those 7th and 8th graders were AMAZING!!  They had wonderful voices and played the parts so well.  I honestly don't think it could have been much better!  Congrats Caile on a job well done!  We love you and are sooooo proud of you!
