If you would have told me 8 years ago I would be driving a mini van with 3 kids, taking them to Saturday morning games I would of told you where crazy....I love it!!! I enjoyed watching our girls, running, kicking, getting up in the action. I'm looking forward to the next 8 Saturday mornings, I love watching them play a sport that I loved so much when I was their age.

100 days of kindergarten

Peyton's kindergarten class celebrated 100 days of school on January 20th, 2012. Peyton has grown so much in those 100 days.  We have seen so many changes, our little Peyton poo poos has gone from our quieter, more reserved child, to wanting to be heard and express herself more.

Peyton's class made these lovely cereal neck less!

parenthood

Have you seen the movie Parenthood?  This is a clip of our story in the parenthood.

to be judge...

The girls have been coming home with fliers for a pageant, Little Miss South Side 2012. I have a BIG problem with this I don't want me girls to be judge on there looks. We, Robert and I, both want our girls to have strong self esteem.  We don't want them to be all about outer beauty.  We want our girls to be know for their character, their hearts, and their love for God.

Also, I couldn't even think about paying to enter the girls in to a pageant, $25 entry fee, $5 for each extra category or $40 for the entire pageant.  These young girls will be judged on most beautiful, best dressed, prettiest eyes, and prettiest hair. Each age group will have a queen and 4 alternates. I just couldn't pay to hear some one say my daughters aren't  pretty enough, or doesn't have the prettiest dress.

Robert and I tell our kids that they are prefect just the way they are because God made them and everything God does is prefect.
