Daleville Homecoming 2015!

Today the girls got to ride in the Daleville Homecoming Parade. Julia has been looking forward to riding in a parade since the night she won Future Little Miss Daleville! Today was a yucky, rainy day and I was afraid they might cancel the parade but thankfully it cleared up just before parade time.

I tried really hard to get a picture of the two of them before the parade (or even after) but they were way too distracted to pay attention to me!  Before the parade we were killing time and trying to keep the girls distracted. I asked them to show me their parade waves. Julia gave me a pretty good beauty queen parade wave. Charlotte gave me a typical, wild Charlotte wave with her tongue hanging out. Julia said "Charlotte you CANNOT wave in a parade with your tongue hanging out!" HA!

Michael sent me this selfie that he took with the girls before the parade started! 

Charlotte was still waking up from her nap when we left for the parade so I had to snap some of her afterwards. She wasn't the most cooperative model, but that's to be expected!

After the parade we came home, changed clothes, rested for just a few minutes, and headed back to Daleville for the homecoming game. The Daleville queens were announced during pregame.

Even though Daleville isn't our hometown Julia had a blast with their Homecoming festivities. (And Charlotte didn't mind riding in the parade either!)

Potty Training

This girl has kept her panties dry all day! We even went out to dinner without an accident. I'm almost afraid to write it out in fear of jinxing us! Potty training has been a struggle with her. She is so stubborn and if she doesn't want to do something there is nothing you can do to make her do it! Here's to hoping that we've finally turned a corner in potty training!

Queen Duties

Julia and I got up this morning and headed to Daleville for the Fort Rucker/Daleville softball game. It was supposed to be held in April but got rescheduled because of weather.  The girls got to go out onto the field and be recognized. Julia sure does love her queen duties!

Pajama Day & EHS Homecoming!

Julia has been studying the letter P this week so today was Popcorn and Pajama Day for Pod B. Julia was so excited to wear her pajamas, I'm sure it's no surprise that she wore horse pajamas. They even have a detachable tail!

Mom check Jace and Julia out of school and brought them and Charlotte to the pep rally.

The band started playing the alma mater and Julia put her arm around Jace. Jace's face got so red and he tried to wiggle away!

Charlotte was really more interested in socializing than she was in the pep rally!

 The Bowdens & The Walters

We attempted a picture after the pep rally. This was the best we got!

I posted this gem on FaceBook today.  A little Flashback Friday to EHS Homecoming 1999!

 Tonight was the Homecoming game and they had a Teacher Appreciation Tailgate set up for the high school teachers. They had a tent with Chick-fil-a and a live band. The girls had fun playing with their friends!

By some miracle we made it through the whole game, and we had a Wildcat win! The weather was cool tonight, it was great football weather! I'm hoping it sticks around, at least through the weekend!
