Happy 6th Birthday!

Bailey had her party today at everyone's favorite party place.

Airhead or Not?

NOT! It took Bailey took three puffs to blow out all six candles.

Big Birthday Hug

Bailey gets a birthday hug from Chuck E Cheese.

Natalie Dances

Natalie joined right in with the birthday singers and dancers.

Adult Table

This table was across the room from the party table where it was quieter.

Happy Birthday Joe!!!

Joe cuts the cake that Taylor made. His big gift was a new computer that he got last weekend.

Taylor made the Cake

Taylor had to taste the cake first because she made it. After her reaction, no one else wanted to eat it. Just kidding, the cake was great. Good job Taylor!

Today would have been my mother's 69th birthday. We miss you Mom!

Saturday is Joe's birthday and Sunday is Bailey's 6th birthday. Bailey was born the day after Joe's 45th birthday, you do the math. I have to work BINGO on Saturday from 10:30 - 6:00, so we'll be celebrating Joe's birthday Saturday night after dinner. He got his big gift last weekend when his computer died and I gave him a new one. Bailey's party will be Sunday at Chuck E Cheese's, woo hoo!!!

Dance-a-thon

Mallory will be at the HS from 12:00 - 9:00 on Saturday. The HS band is sponsoring a dance-a-thon to raise money for the band trip to New York City this spring.

I've been framed!!!

Looks like Natalie decided to help Joe redecorate the house by adding some more color to this wall. Natalie says "I don't think that the marks on the wall were made with the same pen as the marks on my arm". Do you?

One 1st Place Event

Taylor came in 1st on the vault with a very impressive 9.75. This score was the highest of all gymnastics at her level that day.

One 2nd Place Event

Taylor came in 2nd place on the beam with a 9.35

One 3rd Place Event

Taylor came in 3rd on the uneven bars with a 9.0

3rd Place All Around

Taylor did not place with her floor routine. She has a great back handspring as you can see here, but needs to work on her splits. Over all she had a great day and continues to improve with each meet.

Tae Kwon Do Team Try-Outs

Joseph tried out for the competetive team at the Tae Kwon Do Academy where he's been going this the end of July. This match was part of a tournament they had at the end of two days of training. Joseph had a good time spending two nights at the center with about 30 other kids.

Congradulations Joseph!!!

Joseph had to wait for two days for the results of the try-outs. He made one of the three teams that the academy puts together. He will train for a couple of months before competing in his first tournament in April.
