First Snowfall

I was sitting in the kitchen one Sunday night working on some christmas presents...when I had the feeling to look out the window to see if it was snowing. And it sure was. I love the snow. I love how peaceful it is outside when the snow is falling. We didn't get much. Just enough to cover the lawn. We shall see what Mr. Winter has in store for us.

We have a DaNCeR in the family

I never thought a child of mine would be a little dancer. Maybe because I have no rhythm and her dad well...we won't say anything about that! Just kidding Nic. You know I love your dancing. Kilie can attest to that!!! Anyways....Brooklee is taking dance classes here in town and ABSOLUTELY loves it. She loves the girls she dances with and she totally loves her teacher Mrs. Tara. Its amazing what Mrs. Tara can do with these girls at such a young age. Brook was able to perform during halftime of a St. Johns football game. G & G Keith, Uncle Danny, Aunt Marleah, Grandma Finch, Uncle Ammon and Holly (Ammon's friend) all came to watch her perform. What a hoot that was. Almost everyone betted against her. We were all thinking she would get scared and not perform. BOY WERE WE WRONG!!! She was waving at the crowd, over exaggerating every little move and smiling as big as she possible could. It was a night I would never forget. I was one proud momma that night. Nic was in the stands taking pictures so I am sorry they are really blurry. I do however have her dance on video for any of you that would like to watch it.

House Divided

This is the game Nic and I look forward to every year. Its the Mighty Yellow Jackets vs. the Round Valley Elks. Poor Brooklee. She hears me say "Shoot an elk." And her daddy say "Squish a little bug." As you can see she is wearing an elk shirt with her name on the back (compliments of Papa Finch) and she has purple and gold ribbon in her hair. The game was a close one!!! But once again, the Blue Ridge Yellow Jackets prevailed and whipped the Round Valley Elks butt. Love it. My father in law told me before the game that if Blue Ridge won, I had to pay $20.00 to stay in their home that night BUT if Round Valley won...we could stay for free. Go figure!!! While we were at the game Nic said we should get a shirt for Brooklee that says, "My mom is from Blue Ridge, my dad is from Round valley, we live in St. Johns and I am CONFUSED." We (me and Brooklee) always cheer for the good ole boys of St. Johns High. Good luck boys at state. You can do it.

Happy Halloween (better late than never right)

What a fun Halloween it was!!! Right....Brooklee hated wearing her witches hat that went along with her costume. (I think she is going to be like her dad and think this holiday is stupid) But when she did put it on I tried to snap a picture of it.
