First swimming trophies

Rylee got her first swimming trophies this past weekend, wohoo!!!! We are so proud of her and she is so proud of herself. It makes all her hard work and our driving to and from the pool every night worth it!! Normally she competes in the 8 & under age group which doesn't give her much of a chance considering she's only six but this invitational was different. They had the kids compete with only kids the same age. She got first in freestyle and second in butterfly!!!

Christmas was a whirl wind of activity like usual but we had a great day!! It started off early and lasted until 9:30pm!!! The girls got everything on their lists and so much more. Now we just have birthdays to get through!

Dawns wedding.....

Sorry it took me so long to post pictures of the wedding but FINALLY here they are!!!

For those that don't follow me on a regular basis here's the story.....

Dale's sister got married Thanksgiving weekend and both of the girls (and daddy) were in the wedding. We were a little worried about Avery getting through the day. She can still be very shy at times and I had visions of her refusing to walk down the aisle when it was time but she did absolutely wonderful! Both of the girls cruised down the aisle and stood there looking like a couple of angels. Yes, for just a few minutes my girls looked and behaved like angels, lol!! After the wedding we all headed over to the reception and the girls danced from the time they got there until they crashed five hours later.

All ready to go!!!

Dancing the night away.......

So like I said, stay tuned.....hopefully I'll get those stories posted in the next few days!!
