2013 March Update


2013 has gotten off to a GREAT START :))

Chandler started baseball this Spring.  We love us some #5!!  He is playing second base and has done very well.  He is a great batter and a team helper.  It is hard to believe he is 14.


 Chandler was brave enough to be in the WOMANLESS beauty pageant.  As his mom, I was totally shocked - he has always been a very reserved young man.  He owned the stage - he walked up there and received a huge clap!!

He had a huge crowd there supporting him.



Oliver even enjoyed the show - Chandler was SUCH a trooper :)


Chandler also killed his first turkey.  The expression on his face says it all - he was THRILLED!!  His dad, Dustin, was just as proud.


Not only did Haley make JV cheerleader, she still makes a beautiful princess.  She was in the Spring Beauty Pageant at McKenzie and was absolutely beautiful.


My Cinderella!!



Here, she and I are heading out to the pageant :) <3


Haley won 1st place at McKenzie Science Fair. 
She "Counted the Rainbow" with Skittles - it was a FUN project


Yes, she and I are clowns...we just can't help it...it's just in our blood :)


We enjoyed a night out with family at Ashley's wedding.  I just love this picture..Haley is so beautiful!!


Oliver played basketball for the Tigers.  He enjoyed the workouts and traveling to other schools.  Senior night was special. 


Number 50 was a great defensive player.  Such fun to watch!!





Blessing: Living, loving, smiling, memory making and happiness.  That is all.  Thank you LORD for your blessings - I will continue to count them.


JV Cheerleader 2013

Somewhere in my mind I always thought this day would never come.  Well, it came and went and I cannot believe it.
We prepared and practiced
We sat and waited
We watched and gave constructive criticism
We reassured and lifted up
We heard the same music until it made our ears hurt all while smiling the whole time
We learned the number was 12
We laughed and prayed
Then, the time came...
The SECOND name to be called out for JV Cheerleading, HALEY BALLARD!!
I could not be MORE proud of her!!  Let's go TIGERS!!

Haley reading her card ;)
It made her cry...awe!!


Cheerleader and Momma!!
