Mother Daughter Date

When the American Girl movie came out I thought Chloe would love it, but the family has to miss out on the theater due to her 2 year old sister. So, we had a mother/daughter date. We met five Mommies and their daughters for dinner and the movie. (To see more fun pics, go to A Little Bit of this and That blog).

I thought the girls were having so much fun that it would be fun to record their fun personalities. Don't you just love technology!

Knock, Knock Knocking on Miley's Doooor

I never thought for a million years I would become paporatzzi! When our nieces heard that Miley Cyrus lived in Thompson Station, all the sudden that 45 minute drive from Belleview wasn't that far away!

The fun part was when two cars came through the gate.....one man looked very Billy Rayish in an antique car, but it wasn't him. Then a big white truck hauling speakers came through. It was so hard for my sweet 7 year old niece not to dash in the gate after the cars went in!

Little Mommy

Well, I had to take a picture of this.....

What is it you ask? Thirty-eight items (bibs, blankets, burp cloths, etc.) from Cami's dresser piled on top of a "baby" to go "nie-nie". Poor little guy! He had no idea that being put to bed by Cami means you get sufficated!

Dance Camp 2008

This was Chloe's first year to participate in All That Dance's dance camp. She loved it! They did ballet, tap, jazz, HIP HOP (her favorite), crafts, and a little acting. She loved being partners with a "big girl" during the week, but stayed true to her friends that she has had since the womb (Abi, Mia, Ashton and Audrey)!

Here is a picture of the tap dance. My five year old is dancing to "These Boots Were Made for Walking".....interesting.

She did an awesome job dancing to HSM's "I can't dance". Watch that girl shake those hips! Makes a Momma proud.

But this video shows you how Cami is so ready to do every thing "Chlo- chlo" does. She kept saying, "Momma, I wah da." For those who don't speak Cami, my child has no ending consonants....this literally meant "Mommy, I want to dance"!

Kick Ball at Thirty

Okay, 33, but anyways.

Our Sunday school class had a blast last Sunday. We got together with one of our closest friends' sunday school class. The idea was a k ickball game for the adults and the kids. So, we had a pot luck at the park Baptist style! Here are some cute pics from the kiddos. This is Chloe's newest best friend Vivian. Even though they both live in Spring Hill and go to Thompson Station church, they played at Ridgecrest in North Carolina andlove being together.

Here are some adorable friends.

And Tonya and sweet Will

We had a pot luck and some time to pray and sing, but then the competition began.

If anyone knows me, I LOVE competition...the healthy kind that is. (not like competing for a guy in High school, but in games.)

When we started, our class was pretty pouty because we have like 11 people and the other team had at least 20! It was crazy. But nevertheless.... we stuck it out. My sweet Cami didn't enjoy not being at my side, so it was hard trying to play while your daughter is screaming "MOMMY". But thanks to Jodie, Tonya and Jen she calmed down so I could play and of course trash talk. If you know me, you also know that I am all talk. I love to trash talk while playing spades (you know it Scott Ruggles!), but I truely mean no harm. Now, after seeing my big mouth on our sunday school's blog (couplesnchrist@blogspot.com) I may start rethinking my behavior if I really want to be a Proverbs 13 woman.

Anyways, after Keith sliding...crawling..to third getting minor cuts and wounds and the other side seeming to multiply like Israelites in Egypt......WE WON 4 to 1!
