Is it Monday already? We had another busy weekend. Friday night Crystal, Eric, Molly, Shannon, and Robin came over for pizza and cards. Eric had taught all of them a new card game a few weeks ago so they taught me and we all love it!!! It's hard to believe that we didn't even turn the Wii on. Saturday Caroline had a pageant.

Check out that crown!

She won Overall Supreme 0-6...we were so proud of her. Later that night Bragg, Kendrick, Eric, Crystal, and Molly met us at Ware's for a delicious supper and then we were off to our house for a little Wii fun!!! Kendrick was new to the Wii, so we had to break her in...we sure hope she enjoyed it. Sunday was our Supper Club night and we ended up serving boston butt, macaroni & cheese, corn, baked beans, and brownies with ice cream. It was a fun night and would not have been complete without a few competitions on the Wii.

I will start off by saying, I am a bad mother! Caroline was in her school beauty pageant this past Friday night and I didn't even take my camera. I always get so nervous when she does a pageant locally and I thought maybe I would be more relaxed if I didn't take my camera...I was still nervous!!! The school asked that everyone dress in their Sunday best and we did Caroline's hair down...no pageant dress, no hair piece, no glitz...not our typical pageant. But of course, we still thought Caroline was beautiful...we think she is beautiful everyday. There were 33 girls in the pageant...K-2...and everyone of them pretty. Caroline came back in the top 10 and you would have thought that I would have relaxed...but I didn't. Then they opened the curtains and there she stood in the top 5...I am still not relaxed!!! They called 4th runner up, then third, then second...I am still not relaxed...then first...I scream...our BABY has won!!! We were all so proud of her!!! Then it hit me...I don't even have my camera with me...bad mother. A friend of ours was taking pictures in the audience so I am hoping I can get a copy of them and maybe put some on our blog.

THE LONE KINDERGARTENERS

Tonight was Caroline's kindergarten play...The Lone Kindergarteners - LKs Save the Day! They all did so good!!! It was the cutest play!

Meet Mrs. Rabbit

Caroline's line was - Oh Boy, that was fun! I just LOVE birthday parties.

She also closed the play with, Good night everyone and I hope you don't forget to pick us up in the gym.

Another weekend has come and almost gone. Caroline did great at her gymnastics meet in Thomaston Saturday. She won 2 golds...balance beam and floor...and 2 silvers...uneven bars and vault. Caroline also had the highest all round score in her age group. The whole team did a great job!!! We are so proud of all of them and Dedra...the head coach...told us that they were all moving up to Level 2. This means more practice and more gymnastic meets.

Caroline with her medals and goody bag.

It's so hard to believe out little girl can swing on this BIG bar. Coach Dedra is watching on to make sure she does her routine right and gets her new dismount that she just learned last Thursday.

Bailey, Caroline and Kylie right before the competition starts.

Our GYM STARS with Coach Dedra and Coach Margo.
Way to go girls!!!


And I couldn't close this post out without a picture of Cliff and his turkey that he shot this morning. Even though opening day of turkey season was yesterday he gave it up to go see his little girl compete...Thanks Daddy!!!

I finally feel better...thank goodness. I hope I never have that again...whatever it was. Thanks to all who wished me well.

I forgot to mention in my last post that Caroline's dance company entertained at one of our school pageants last Thursday night and at our local nursing home last Friday night. Caroline also got to do her solo jazz dance for the first time at the nursing home...way to go girl!!!

Check out this costume...she is ready to DISCO!!!


Now we are already gearing up for the weekend. Caroline has another gymnastics meet Saturday in Thomaston and we really hope she does good...GO GET 'EM GIRL!!! Cliff and I always enjoy watching her compete. Hopefully I will get some good photos to post.

Hi all! Sorry I haven't posted in a while...we have so busy. I have been under the weather this weekend but Cliff and Caroline have taken good care of me. And, yes it was our anniversary yesterday...what a way to spend it. I hope it's not the bad flu going around...say a little prayer please. Even though I felt like crap and it was freezing outside we went to Gannon's 8th birthday party, probably not the smartest thing to do. When we got back home I crawled into the bed and put a sheet, 3 blankets, and a comforter on me trying to warm up. After a few hours of restless sleep I got up and we went to watch Allana in her school beauty pageant...she look beautiful...and she placed 4th. After we left the pageant...me still feeling crappy...Cliff and Caroline dropped me off at home, so I could crawl back into bed again, and they went over to have some fun at the Hammocks. There was no need for them to be miserable with me at home. I was told they learned a new card game and enjoyed eating a lot of Crystal's friendship bread.
Today was a little better for me but not great. I did go to mom's to eat lunch...haven't eaten anything since yesterday at Gannon's party...and she made checken pot pie and it was delicious. We then came home and I rested until it was time to go to the Hammocks for supper club. Another good meal as usual. I have now gotten Cliff and Caroline in the bed and I guess I will head to the chaise lounge to sleep tonight. I hope it's a better day tomorrow!

Where has the time gone...it's already Wednesday, again! We had another fun weekend. Friday night, Crystal, Eric, Molly, Shannon, & Robin all came over to eat supper, drink, and play the Wii. We have so much fun when we get together!!! Saturday I went to Claxton to judge a pageant and Cliff volunteered to take Caroline to a birthday party in Statesboro at Splash in the B'oro. I definitely got the better end of the deal. See, the party was a pool party and it was under the dome (a blow up top they attach to the pool during the winter so they can have indoor pool parties) and Cliff said it was so HOT!!! Thanks, daddy for taking her...you know I love you. And, then it was Sunday...Cliff's birthday...Caroline has been waiting and planning for this for a few months now. I tried to tell her that grown ups didn't have parties like little kids do but she made a list of people to invite anyway. Since supper club was at the Griners and we have 2 other friends that have birthdays this week we decided to do cake and ice cream there. Stacy & Kevin had a small for each of them...Cliff, Beth, & Dana...and Caroline got to help her Daddy blow out his candles, so she was happy.
