Black Jack Meet...

Today was our first meet of the season. What an improvement from last year....she placed in 3 of her 4 events and 7th for all around! We will take that! Best of all she had a great time and told me she did awesome.....yes princess you did!!

Friendship...

Friendship really is priceless. Today I attended the FCPA family annual conference and also got to spend the day with great friends! Sadena is already missing them...

Homework.....

Homework can be fun...this is how we practice the weeks sight words!

Sea World....

Well we all still have colds but it was a beautiful day so I got the girls ready and we headed to Sea World for a couple of hours. We had fun!

An evening for a princess...

Tonight after Ella went to bed it was an evening all about Sadena....she had her hair and nails done, we ate her choice for dinner and watched a movie.....we then had a modeling shoot with her and will end the night camping out in the living room together!!! PERFECT EVENING!!!

Open House...

Tonight was open house. We went and our girl loved seeing her friends and showing us her classroom and things she had made.

When we got home we had a mini photo session in the grass....fun times!

Also this week both girls have been to the dr and both are on antibiotics for ear infections. We have Ella's surgery scheduled for Demember....please also keep my friend Arlene and her family in your prayers as they are facing some tough medical issues.

A Future Gymnast....

So tonight at gymnastics Regi walked Ella around on the floor and then let her play on the bars....after that she kept trying to get back on the floor.....who would not loce those spingy blue floors?!?

Bath Fun....

Ok....so I have been a busy bad blogger...lol. I am going to try to post every day even if only a picture....we have been jet lagged and trying to settle in to our new normal.

Today we got some cute bath time pictures....she is so cute and laughs a lot!!! We are working through some jealousy but that is improving!

Sisters

This is what it is all about.....sisters not by birth but you could not tell these girls that! Love the simple pleasures of watching my girls....
