Cheerleading

Claudia had her first football game today, and loves being a cheerleader. I am officially a “cheer mom”, and love supporting her!

Go Hawks!

First Day of School

Last week, the girls went back to school. We were all very excited and nervous at the same time. The first day went off without a hitch and we have already adjusted to our new schedule/routines.

Lake Day

We spent this past Saturday at the lake with my family.

Jason took the girls on their first wave runner ride:

Cherokee, NC

Jason’s family has been camping at “Yogi in the Smokies” for many years. He first took me in 1997. From that first trip, he started a tradition of taking a picture in front of Yogi Bear. We have taken a picture almost every year since. Here are a few…

Fun Times!

Peachtree Road Race 2011

This was my third year running the Peachtree Road Race and Jason’s 4th. Rob (Jason’s cousin) and Teresa ran it too. The 6.2 miles seemed long and hot this year, but it was still a lot of fun.

Pre-race:

Post-race:

Even though it was really hot, I struggled some during the race, and I was really sore for two days…..I can’t wait to do it again!

Dancing

I was so excited to put my girls in dance class, hoping they would love it as much as I did.

Flash back:

 

Although they liked dance, both girls are interested in other things.

Claudia will soon become a cheerleader, and Marley wants to play the guitar. Their last dance recital was bitter sweet. I loved watching them dance, but know that I will love watching them flourish at what they really want to do!

Garden Update

Our garden is growing and has finally started to produce.

What started as this:
