ASD turns 25

Bailey was part of the joint choir that sang at ASD's 25th year Anniversary hoorah. 

 In what can only be called the "worst cinematic experience ever", I managed to record the two songs they sang.  Focus on the loveliness of the music, not so much on the picture.  It could possibly cause nausea.  Bailey is inconveniently located on the bottom right side of the choir body behind the timpani players (in the ASD song, that timpani player is Matt Merkley for any Kingwood Stake readers. Bailey spent the evening flirting with him apparently.  Awesome. He's in high school.)

Go Dragons! (Part 1)

This girl has never played basketball before but made her school's tournament team.  She had so much fun learning a new sport and played the whole season with a pulled hip flexor.  Ouch!  Bronze medal for these little Dragons!

  

Mr. Eric, neighbor and volunteer referee. She's tiny, yes.  But he's gigantic!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dress Up

This little girl all dolled up for recital pictures is just too cute.  I will never get tired of playing dress up with her!

A New One For Us!

We celebrated the end of soccer season by signing up for swim team!

We've still got baseball going on but since the games are right across the street from where the kids swim it hasn't been too crazy.  We can have some kids swimming and some baseballing at the same time.

Saturday was their first meet.  Luckily we've got some seasoned swimming pro friends that helped us maneuver the chaos.

Trey and Bailey did great.  Jack enjoyed the show. Ty was home with strep (he'll have his swim debut in a couple of weeks I guess).

A Birthday Explanation...

Out of order? Maybe.  But birthday season around here gets busy.  For the record, Ty's birthday is in December (3days after Peyt's), Jack's in January, Bailey (and Robert) in February, and Trey in March. That totally gives me permission to post them all at the same time.  Happy Birthday, family!

Bailey Turns 8

First Day of School (for two, at least)

#3 and #4 are starting 2nd and 3rd. Old. So very, very old (them, not me. I'm in denial)

Trey and Bailey were selected to perform in this year's talent show.  After much deliberation, they chose to perform "Dynamite".  They did a great job and by the end of it had the whole school singing along.  They've already started planning for next year.

Date With My Girl

For Christmas, my sister and I decided to take our girls and mom to the Houston Ballet's performance of the Nutcracker.
