Carowinds- Trip #1 2017

Image
We had our first trip to Carowinds in 2017 today! We met Leigh Ann and the kids for a fun day on the first day of spring break. Mom came with us for a little "Disney Prep."We lasted about 4.5 hours until the kids melted down. Mom and I felt pretty good that we lasted longer than them! It was perfect weather and the crowds were low. It looks like Natalie is going to be following after Allison in the daring department. She will ride any of the rides she big enough for. I even road The Cobra roller coaster with her. She loved it. I threw up. Having kids ruined me for any sort of motion! Being with their cousins really made the day fun and they can't wait to go back. We learned the kids need sunglasses and a break in the afternoon. Overall, super fun day.

Soccer- Spring 2017

Image
Jenna (6) is playing soccer for the first time! She is involved with JYL (Jamestown Youth League) in the U6 Bumblebee division. They call it bumblebee because the ball is like a flower and the kids are like bees buzzing around it. TRUE! She has a very laid back and encouraging coach. She loves every second of practice and the games. She is fast, has no fear, and doesn't complain that she is hot and tired.... unlike her older 2 sisters when they played.  GO CHEETAHS!!

Florence Talent Show 2017

Image
Allison (10) and Mia (8) participated in their first talent show at their elementary school this March. They had to prepare a "talent" and then audition. They chose to do a hip-hop dance to "Call Me Maybe." With their dance teacher's (Shelley Aagard) help, they put on a cute 1-minute show! They were the first ones to perform and did a great job!

Back to the Blog

I stopped blogging when I got my new phone....an iphone5. I had no reason to load pictures on the computer anymore. I take now directly load them onto facebook and have completely stopped putting them on the computer. 500+ pics later and the camera on my perfect phone is blurry. Turns out its not so perfect. So I decided I needed to go back to old school and use my "old" camera. We'll see how that turns out. I also miss documenting the family happenings and what God is teaching me about my current vocation--motherhood. I've been learning a lot this fall and really want to get it in writing. So I'm back to blogging. You may not see as many pictures as before until I get the phone camera fixed, but hopefully I'll be writing again.

Greek Festival

I'm so incredibly behind in blogging. I am blaming it on my new iphone5. Since getting it I almost never get on the real computer. I can easily check email and FB from my phone. And I don't bother uploading pictures either since I can post to FB or text them from my phone. I'm going to attempt to catch up with some short posts. I love the idea of being able to look back at my blog years from now and remembering how crazy these preschool years were! We attended the Annual Greek Festival this September. The girls enjoyed the dancing and we enjoyed Souvlaki and Baklava!
