Our Little Cheerleader

This weekend Aubrey and I traveled to San Antonio for her first cheerleading exhibition. We went with my friend Laura and her daughter Samantha. Here is a couple of pictures of the girls on the way to San Antonio. As you can see we had doughnut holes for breakfast. She thought they were YUMMY!

Here is Samantha who is watching a video along the way. The girls had fun watching the videos as we were driving up there. Nice and peaceful except for the cheerful giggles!!

Here is a picture of Samantha and Aubrey all ready for the competition. I did get up early and curl Aubrey's hair but as usual with Aubrey's board straight hair it lost all of it's curl on the way up to San Antonio. She still looked abdorable though.

Here are some photos of the girls doing the performance.



Aubrey with her trophy! She was so excited she couldn't wait to show it to Mom and Dad.



Samantha and Aubrey with their trophies.

Aubrey with her princess wand with a heart on it. We waited a LOOOONG time in line for the clown to make all of the balloons. But well worth it.

Next competition is in February and Matthew will be starting soccer practice in February with Games starting the first weekend in March.

So Busy

So life has been a little CRAZY. I haven't posted in a long while so I will just do a little catch up.

Christmas was great the kids got LOTS of toys from Santa and Rick and I got them a riding atv toy. They think it's fun and are always wanting to ride them when we get home.. We took them to the property while we were picking up sticks and they rode around on them all day.

Post christmas pics of 4 wheelers and christmas pics. here


Also my sister in law Deanne got married on December 27th aboard the Carnival Ecstasy. It was a nice ceremony and I will post some pictures of the wedding.

insert wedding pictures.

As mentioned above we worked on the property burning brush and picking up tons of sticks on New Year's Eve, New Years Day and New years weekend. Lots of hard manuel labor, that I am so not use to. I was so sore. It was like I had worked out and ton like a thousand lunges.
But the property is looking better and soon we will be able to look at house builders and putting together a house plan.
