2010 NC STATE FAIR!!!

Oh what fun it is to be at the Fair. JJ and I work every year, it's becoming even more fun to take the kids. Sadie was really into it this year. She went the first weekend with Nana and Papa and they took her on a few rides. She had a blast. She loved the corn on the cob and cotton candy. Dakota also tried his first cotton candy and of course love it! She then went the next weekend with mommy and daddy and had another wonderful time. She rode ride after ride after ride! It was truly fun and I loved seeing and hearing her laugh the entire time she was riding until the ride stopped. Dakota on the other hand just took it all in. He did get a mount olive pickle and absolutely refused to give that up! That was definitely the highlight of the day for him! Can't wait to see what is in store next year.......!!!!

Go Lady Jaguars!!!

As most of you know, I have been soooooooooooo busy since July! Volleyball season has been a blast and we have so learned so much! We had the most successful season we have had at Farmville Central. We set a new school record by going undefeated 14-0 during conference play. We had a heartbreaking two point loss in the second round of the State Playoffs. Many life lessons were learned and it was neat to hear the girls share that after their hearts were broken from the season coming to an end! This is why I coach.....to make a difference in the lives of these young women and to teach them that winning is not the most important thing....it's the life lessons that you learn on the way! I can't wait to see what God has in store next year! I am so proud to be so blessed!

A Day Out With Aunt Manda and Uncle Thomas!

It's been a few weeks, but Sadie had a wonderful day with Aunt Manda and Uncle Thomas! They took her to Hillridge Farms, which is north of Raleigh. Sadie did lots of fun things there. She played on a cool playground with corn as sand, went on a hayride, went through a corn maze, rode ponies, and got to pick out her own favorite pumpkin! She had a blast! Hopefully we will all get to go next year with Amanda's baby, Savannah! Thanks for a wonderful time Aunt Manda and Uncle Thomas!

Cute Sibling Moment!

I am sure this a one of the many firsts! A few weeks ago Sadie and Dakota had their first bath together. I don't know who enjoyed it more, Sadie or Dakota! Dakota loved the freedom of being able to move and Sadie loved taking care of Dakota! She also thought it would be fine to go ahead and begin teaching Dakota how to swim. It was cute hearing her say, "it's ok Dakota, you have to get your face wet and then you won't be scared". I think she has been around the water a little, huh?hahaha! I did have to make it a quick one for Dakota so that Sadie wouldn't drown him or give him a concussion! It will be neat to see what the next first will be!!!!!
