Gage

My little Gage kept asking me why I didn't have any pictures of
just him on my blog, so here you go Gage!!! He was such a trooper
hanging out with all of us girls at the tumbling meet last weekend.
For those of you who know my little guy better than others,
know that Gage always has a way with the cute girls... He loves
Malorie's friend Skylee and was so excited to cheer for her.
Gage will be starting itty-bitty hoops soon, so check back for
fun new pictures of him trying to learn how to dribble, shoot,
block shots, and NOT foul.

Gage absolutely loves his Grandma Joyce...

Gage age 6

UuuuuGggggHhhhh how much longer is this competition?

Gage never misses a chance for a good pose either!!! I love
you so much little buddy!!!

Malorie and Miranda's tumbling competition.

One of my favortite parts is doing all the cute hair-do's...

My little Miranda was so excited for her 1st competition
today. She got 2nd place and was thrilled. I am so proud
of her for being so brave. She even let us take her earrings
out (kicking and screaming) but they were out! Now can
someone help me get them back in?

Skylee...Miranda...Malorie and Emma...

Shane is one of the girls favorite coaches... Love him!

GREAT JOB GIRLS!!! They both got 2nd place metals.

Sisters and friends FOREVER!!!

Thanks for a fun suprise party Malorie...

Wow!!! My Malorie who is only 11 years old planned a suprise party for me this year on my birthday. I don't know about you, but when I was 11, the last thing on my mind was planning a suprise party for my mom. I had gone out to lunch with Trents 7 sisters and his mom and when I returned home I was greeted with a very fun, and warm welcome. Thank you so much to my friends who supported Malorie and Jaxon in this fun idea for me, I love you guys!

Friends night out

Jill, Steph, Alisa, Shelly and Denise

Friends accept us as we are yet help us to be what we should. A friend can tell you things that you don't want to tell yourself. A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.

A friend is the one who comes in when the whole world goes out.

A best friend is like a four leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have.

We really miss Brad and Denise.

Steph and Garrett, Denise and Brad, Me and Trent, Chad and Jill

I love my hub-hub-hubbie!!!

Trent and I got to go out to dinner tonight with some of our favorite friends for my birthday,and it was so much fun. I don't know why I have been so greatly blessed to be surrounded by the people I have, but I pray that my children will choose friends as good as I did. Thanks for always being there for me and especially being the kind of examples I need in my life to become a better wife and mother. You all truly inspire me to do better!

Basketball season is here

It looks to me like Trent is finally able to relax and enjoy the game. He decided not to coach basketball this year and save all of his energy for baseball (his 1st love of course). Grandpa and Grandma didn't miss a single game last year and by the looks of it, they won't be missing any this year either. We are so blessed to have such a great family. Jaxon is a great leader and the boys on the team really look up to him!
