Fancy Nancy's Splendiferous Christmas

On Saturday we ventured out to Borders bookstore to participate in the Fancy Nancy Christmas story time. They dressed up fancy, read the new Fancy Nancy Christmas book, wrote letters to Santa, went on a parade through the store wishing other customers a "Merry Christmas", and more! They got Fancy Nancy wrapping paper and opera glasses :) It was a fun Saturday morning. Next Saturday is the Polar Express!! {check your local Borders for story time fun!!}

Fall Yard Work

When your heart is in it, you will go far...

We have been struggling with Reese lately going to cheerleading. She used to be excited about it, practice at home and couldn't get enough. Lately, she hasn't wanted anything to do with it. Today she wouldn't even get her picture taken with the team. I was beginning to think she was getting anxious in front of a crowd or didn't like the whole performing thing. BUT this afternoon opened my eyes...

REESE LOVES GYMNASTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was Reese's first gymnastics meet. She popped right out there and competed in beam, vault, floor, and bars. She was so dang cute :) You could just tell with her smiles and actions she loves being out there. Here's the proof:

Piper is walking!!

I almost forgot to announce, "We have a walker!!" She is cruisin' all over the place :) Here is a short little video.

blog break

I'm taking a blog break as I lay on the couch with the flu!! Today is day three and my fever has not gone below 100... generally 102-103. I'm feelin' crummy. Piper is not sick anymore, so I am hoping I can say the same VERY SOON! Tomorrow the girls have cheerleading pictures in the morning and Reese has a gymnastics meet in the afternoon. {so I will have lots of pictures to post soon!!}

Take care everyone!!
