3's Class

Little G started in her new 3's Class...not Kindergarten (MUCH to her dismay).  This was really her first big girl adventure without her brother by her side - and she did GREAT!  Her classroom has a Dog Theme and she's very excited about being the "HOT Dog" as she says (really the TOP Dog aka Special Day).  She's also pretty pumped about the treasure chest and all her "specials" she'll get to participate in - all of which her brother talked about last school year.  She's feeling like a BIG GIRL now, and reminding us daily.  

Little Lady Panther Fan

The first Pre-Season game was Greyson's first ever Panther Game.  She kept calling it..."HER game"  We stayed until halftime (9:30pm) and she did pretty good - she did start asking for her soft blankie - so we knew she was tired.

Panther Training Camp 2013

We are so lucky to have the opportunity to go down to Carolina Panther's Training Camp again this year.  Kids had a blast...and behaved really great too!

Playing a little football of their own!

G is for Gymnastics!

Greyson had a BLAST at her little friend Avery's Birthday Party.  The Morrison YMCA Gymnastic's center is awesome!

Ice Skating Budies

Taiten was invited by his Best Bud from Calvary (Thomas) to go ice skating for Thomas' Birthday. Thomas' Mom arranged for a private lesson - thank goodness!   The boys loved every minute of it.  

Learning how to get up...

a lot of this....

getting the hang of it

SUPER Daddy

Fathers Day 2013 - the best Daddy in the whole wide Super Universe!

Our Dancing Queen

Greyson had her first Dance Recital.  She loves Dance.  I think she loved that it was HERS and not an activity that we made her watch or participate in because of her brother.  She loved the Dance Outfit, Dance Shoes and even was tolerant of me doing her Dance Hair (which says a LOT).  

During this 10 Week program, G learned about "pizza feet", "beach ball", "sunshine" and all the words to Lee Greenwood's 'Proud to Be an American' (what 3 year old doesn't know that song??).

Recital day came and she was even more excited than the previous Saturday's.  She's been counting down the days until she could wear her costume.  She did GREAT

Easter on the Mountain

After leaving Asheville, we headed to Mountain Air and did several fun Easter activities with the Hodges Family.

Much needed break...

Greg and the kids showed up to pick me up at work with the car loaded down and ready to hit the road for a surprise trip to Asheville.  Much needed and appreciated.  

I miss seeing these 3 faces!
