10/25/09 TEAM BOOKOO!!!!!!!!!!!! 1st Place-Bama Cheer and Dance Competition (Tiny Level 1)

Race for the Cure 2009

This year my daughters and I decided to participate in the "Susan G. Komen, Race for the Cure 5K". It took place in downtown Birmingham and was a great experience. My grandmother was a breast cancer survivor and I knew that she was looking down smiling on us as we participated in this worthy event. It was a rainy day which reminded me of that song "Holes in the floor of Heaven". We were also racing in celebration of and with my dear friend and breast cancer survivor, Debra Perry. This experience was great and we will definitely make this an annual event. I really enjoyed sharing this with Debra, my daughters, and Debra's family.

Kids playing dress up

Breanna and McKenzie were playing dress up and Andrew decided that he wanted to join in the fun. After lipstick, he transformed into SPIDERMAN!!! They had so much fun.

More fun times!

The kids really enjoyed spending time with Grammy and Grampy while taking in all of the sites at the Aquarium.

Some new pics

These pictures are in reverse order, but after receiving his football gear.....Andrew played hard, kicked a "field goal", hit a "Heisman pose", then had to sleep in his new gear. We barely got the helmet and pads off AFTER he fell asleep.

Stoddard Fun

I know that it has been a few weeks since I have updated, but with school back in session, we have been SUPER busy (as you can imagine)! Victoria auditioned and received a part in a school play, "South Pacific" as an island girl. She is loving high school. Deja is still playing softball and has joined the Middle School Choir. They will be performing several times throughout the year. Breanna is really enjoying Kindergarten and can read now!! She has been taking gymnastics and is a real natural. She is on Team BooKoo, which is an all star cheerleading/gymnastics competition team. She loves it and is so great at it! Andrew is "all boy" as they say. He loves to play ball and has really gotten into football with his daddy coaching. He had to have his own set of pads and helmet to wear. He also loves Spiderman! McKenzie is our little "spit fire". She is always happy and is such a little "mama". She likes to boss Andrew around and always takes care of him. Kenzie tries to do all of the gymnastics that Breanna does. I hope they are going to be really close. She and Breanna enjoy playing dress up and putting on my make up together. Pictures of their last dress up day to come soon. As far as Will and I.......Will is coaching and going to school. He is doing well in his classes and his favorite class, of course, is History of Southern Women, hahahaha! I am still enjoying my job and have just been busy holding down the fort at home while daddy is busy working, coaching and studying. Keep checking for new photos to come!!!!

First Day of School

The kids are all growing up so fast. Today was Breanna's first day of Kindergarten and Victoria's first day of High School! As parents we are so proud of all of them, but it is so emotional for these two to be entering these important phases of their lives. We all need to remember that time goes by so fast, we really only have our children for 18 summers. Cherish every moment and "let them be little".

Big Girl and Big Boy Undies!!!!!!

Well, mommy and daddy have been so proud of how the twins have taken to potty training. They are now pacifier free and going to the potty.

Getting ready to take Grandma Pat and Great-Grandpa Ralph to the airport

McKenzie and Andrew still want to know where Grandma Pat and Great Grandpa Ralph went. We have explained that they flew on the airplane back to Florida.

Quality time with Grandpa Ralph

Kenzie was enjoying listening to her Great Grandpa Ralph read her a bedtime story. We will definitely cherish these moments in the years to come.

POOL FUN!!

Mommy and the girls...the twins were too busy to stop for this picture.

Deja sporting her new "bathing suit of many colors".........hahaha

Breanna the "superstar"!

Andrew and McKenzie showing their muscles!!!

Seven years and counting............

Today is our 7th Anniversary and still counting. If I had it to do all over, I would marry Will all over again.

Mommy's Sweet Angels

Although the thought of having twins was so inconceivable, now......I cannot imagine it any other way. They are so much fun. Last night after their bath, they were being so sweet to one another. Andrew had to give his sister some "sugar" and Kenzie gives "big hugs". It was definitely a photo op.

All-Stars 2009

Trussville 12-U Allstars place 2nd in the first pre-area tournament. Deja played so hard and as you can tell she was DIRTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All of the girls played extremely hard and hopefully they will be STATE BOUND!
