Nutcracker Auditions

The girls were so excited today to audition for their very first Nutcracker. Julia was cast as a Candy Cane and Charlotte was cast as an Angel. We can't wait to watch them dance in December! 

A Tough Loss

Well, the game didn't turn out quite like we had hoped, but we had a great weekend away with friends!

Pretty Girls

Today was picture day for Julia and Charlotte wore her new unicorn dress she got for her birthday yesterday which called for a photo shoot for her too!

Sick Snuggles

Rosemary has been feeling pretty yucky after her shots yesterday. She ran a fever this morning and has had an upset stomach so I've gotten lots of snuggles today. I hope she feels better tomorrow! 

Art Camp

Charlotte and Layla started art camp today. Charlotte has been so excited that it's finally her turn to go! I can't wait to see what they make this week! 

 The girls and I went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch today and I think it's safe to say Rosemary loves it as much as I do. She thought the waffle fries were the best!

Second Grade Awards Day

Today was awards day day Hillcrest. We're so proud of Julia for getting A/B Honor Roll for 4th 9 weeks and Principal's Award for Reading. 

Julia also had her first Rising Starz practice today. They learned over half their dance! She said she had so much fun today, I think hope she continues to think that!

Fish River

Kelly, Julia, Charlotte, Collin and I left after school today to meet Wes, Michael, Rosemary and Wesley Kate at Fish River. We didn't get here until almost bedtime tonight but we are ready to hit the water tomorrow!

The boys and babies stopped at Cracker Barrell for lunch. Rosemary put away some green beans!

Charlotte packed pictures of her sister queens in her bag! 

Silly girls hanging out on the dock way past bedtime! 

Prayer for Addison

Today Julia's sweet friend, Addison, had surgery at Children's to remove a 6cm tumor that doctors found on her brain last Thursday. Addison's favorite color is light blue so our community wore light blue today to show our support for her. It will be a week before she knows the results of the biopsy, but we are praying fervently that the it will be clear and she won't have to have any further treatments!

EHS Teachers

Hillcrest Elementary 2nd Grade

Charlotte put my shoes on as soon as I took them off and was walking around the house carrying her baby. I told her that if she fell and hurt herself she wasn't going to be able to play softball tonight or dance. She looked straight at me and said "Mom. I've been doing this for years!" 

Charlotte had a softball game tonight. They didn't win and she didn't get a hit tonight, but she still had fun!
