growing up....

Trent learned how to tie his shoes last week. It's bitter sweet. It just means my baby is growing up.

Dance...Platinum Nationals....

I have to brag a minute, Sydney competed in her VERY first SOLO today at Platinum Nationals and did an AMAZING job! She danced so good and had so much fun! All the hard work paid off! She got a gold medal and then got 7th place overall in the 8 and under catagory!

Here she is stretching before going on stage

Afterwards with her trophy and gold medal.

I am so proud of you baby girl! You had to dance at 9:08 and we had to be there an hour before. You were up and stretching at 7 this morning and you were not complaining. I am so glad that I am able to see you making your dreams come true! I hope you continue to love dance as much as you do right now! I love to see you on that stage! You shine and are full of personality! I love you so much!

Now we have to get ready for the duo on Thursday!

Oops....

Wow! I have fell short on the blogging or what?!?! LOL! Life has been so incredibily busy to say the least! I will try to catch up on all the happenings and things are are about to happen! Life is busy but boy do I love having a family to keep me busy! =) I'll have everything up to date over the next few days!

Happy 11th Birthday Trevor!

I can not believe that you are 11! Time is FLYING by. It seems like it was yesterday that you were just a baby and now you are almost a teenager(yikes!).

You are still such a great child! We couldn't ask for you to be any better! You love to hunt and fish. You are a great little guitar player! You LOVE the beach! And you love to aggrivate your bother and sister! =) You are doing such a great job in school and daddy and I are so proud of you! I hate you are growing up so fast but at the same time I can't wait to see the young man you will become!

You still LOVE the color green and john deere tractors! Or anything to do with farming for that matter! You said you want to become a doctor but I secretly believe you will farm! =) I hope you know that Daddy and I love you so much and we are both so proud of you!
