Glamour Party

Bailey's Girl Scout troop had a Glamour party today.
They got to dress up, make up and put their hair up.

Doesn't Bailey's hair look nice?

Bailey likes to have me take her picture when she jumps.

Rachel Cut Her Hair

Rachel decided to attempt to cut her own hair. Tomorrow I will take
her to get it styled from what's left. More pictures to follow.

Natalie's New Glasses

Natalie got her new glasses today.

The biggest problem she has is they don't stay up. I finally realized after looking at these pictures that she doesn't have a bridge in her nose to help hold them up, so they keep sliding down her nose. I'm going to try and find a strap to help hold them on.

Going, Going, Gone!

Mallory gets ready to serve.

Nice toss.

Nice serve.

Volleyball Blocks & Hits

Mallory is always ready to block with a smile on her face.

Check out the vertical on this block.

This one was a definite block for point.

Nice hit over the block.

Awesome Hit

Check out Mallory's hitting ability in this video.

Third Place Finish

Taylor's volleyball team played in their last tournament today. It's been a month since Taylor played in a tournament and I was shocked by how much she has improved.

Everyone sat out one game while the coach's daughter painted their finger nails.

At the last tournament, Taylor did not get one overhand server over the net. Today, Taylor's overhand serve was deadly, she had many aces and only missed two serves all day. After she got three over in a row, the coach told her that she could not underhand server anymore.

Taylor's team finished tied for 2nd during pool play with a record of 5-3, but lost 2 out of 3 games in the semifinals to end up with 3rd place medals. WTG Forecast!!!

A Dirty Kid is a Happy Kid

It was a beautiful sunny day and we all spent most of the day outside.
Here Natalie sits on my huge stack of mulch for my flower beds.

Now THAT is one dirty kid!

Start to Spring

I moved 14 bunches of hostas from an overcrowded bed on the
side of the house to the backyard between the pool and the fence.

Joe spent half of the day with Joseph and Bailey at opening day ceremonies. All teams got to run on the the field as they were announced. Then each team got it's picture taken for the web site and then played a one inning exhibition game. Later in the day, Bailey's team had it's first official game. They won 13-8. Joseph's first official game is Wednesday.
