Grow Therapy-Senior shadow day!

 I wanted to go ahead and share since it is tomorrow, that Alexis has her Senior Shadow day as a Speech Therapist! 

She will be working the hours at Grow Therapy in Oxford!

She is so excited and I am so excited for her!

She will get to spend time with the babies and the kids that will be coming in and this could also lead to a possible opportunity in the future as she studies to become one!

Cant wait to hear about her day!

We showed her (and found it) yesterday while we were in Oxford, so she is READY!

For her school, project, she will have to do a paper and presentation on her experience there. All fun things as she is about to finish up her school year!

Our FUN day with Grey!

 I asked Grey what he wanted for his birthday or if he would like to have a 'FUN DAY' with us. He said he wanted a fun day so that is exactly what we did!

After Church and lunch we headed to pick him up and then came back to our house and they played and played and did the swings ,etc before Misty picked us up and we headed to the Lantern Festival at Noccalula Falls!

Playing outside and Tyler found a frog. He was messing with Greysyn about it but then it started hopping so Lily and him didnt know about it after that!

The Lantern Festival!

Pretty cool! It lit up and played!

Train all the way around with the Lanterns was fun!

These two became best buds! Calhoun was trying to be all 'big' and help 'guide' Greysyn and help him with any and everything too! ha!

Sweet cousins!

His favorite part! They moved and made sounds and he even rode one!

All of them lit up at night was beautiful!

THIS thing was BIGGER than his body! ha! He couldnt even put a dent in this cotton candy! ha! And, notice on his neck. Yeah, he wanted a dragon................ :)

This was weird. And a little creepy (in my opinion) and I tried to not laugh so loud that everyone was thinking I was being rude..but this was so odd to me! ha!

He danced around....and his mask changed colors the whole time. ha! So odd! :)

Then this girl...WOW! Talented! She had that table flipping and flopping and all the things!

We ate a late dinner (at Jacks' per Greysyn's choice since it was his 'birthday' and because none of the other kids could agree on one place) :) and then called it a night! It was fun and Grey said he had a great time! (That's all that counts!) :)

Our little man is 8!

 8 is great!

Greysyn had his 8th birthday party Saturday and it was skating! He is a PRO! I mean, he was so fast and just went around....and around...and around!

We headed to the fun once Lily was finished with her Track Meet and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon celebrating him AND seeing alllll the Murphy babies too!

We ended the night with Tyler grilling out and sitting outside on the back deck and both girls having spend the night parties at someone else's home. It was nice! :)

Biggest with the smallest grandchild!

The WHOLE crew that was there! So happy to spend time with all of them!

THIS girl! CRACKED me up! It was her first time to ever skate and BOY was it a work out! ha! She loved doing it but Tyler called her 'Jello legs!' and she was like 'NO, Tyler I do not have jello on my legs!' ha!

Playing games were a must too!

Lily sent me this picture..................of where she said she was going to sleep in on Saturday night at Pearson's house!

Lily's first Track Meet of her 2nd season

 Yeah....Saturday did not go so hot. She, I just dont know, was not in the game.

When Lily gets in her stubborn moods (and she knows what Im saying because her Daddy and I (with her) had a long discussion about it) she just does not do her full potential.

Well, she didnt want to do the 3200. She was mad about it the whole time. Well, when she doesnt want to do something.....her results were what they were. Even to where she yelled over, 'I hate this.' (Yeah, long talk about that too)

Then she was mad about the 3200 which led into the 1600. She bombed the 1600. But then did end on a slightly better note with the 800.

So, goodness. It was a long Saturday..............but a beautiful one......once if finally became sunny and warmed up!

She better (and should) have her mind right for the next meets. There's that.

Tyler giving P a pep talk too....because...she is 'new' to track...and tried to pace with Lily (which only hurt her time). It was so funny because Pearson goes.... 'Next time, I will have Lily pace with me because I knew we could run faster and we will next time.' :)

Soccering it up...in the rain

 Well, I thought allll day.....with it flooding outside, that they would cancel.....

but then we got the notice that soccer is an 'all weather' sport and the game was still on...

so, we hunkered down and took one for the team! ha!

Luckily it did stop raining partly through but it was chilly and then got really foggy. Southside stomped us 4-0 too....

but Lily said she loved playing in the rain...so there is that! ha!

My view!

Giving it her all!

Southside played very well but got so lucky with their goals. Like...even our goalie was like how did that happen! Like the ball would just bounce of something or someone and then just end up in the net....which happened multiple times. BOO! ha! 

Wordless Wednesday

 

LOOK at the difference. My pageant girl!

 I mean, her first one.........................

To her last.........

She will still do the Miss JAX State pageant, but LOOK at this....

and so bittersweet!

The rest of our weekend!

 Despite having the pageant, we had other things too! ha!

It was a cold weekend but we made the most of it!

Making the most with co-workers since one of these is moving all the way to South Dakota!

My view on Saturday!

Lily had to work the pageant and also got to support some of her best friends!

Basketball season is over

 Sad but the season has officially come to an end. 

The girls team has been so awesome this season and we all thought they were going to go all the way to State.

They came up short at the Regional tournament and lost by 2. It was a tough game against Springville.

So, Alexis' football and basketball life is now over. She is sad but also happy about all that is to come!

Last game.............last picture.

Our 1st runner up Miss Golden Eagle!

 She looked stunning.

She did so great on her walk.

She just shined up there.

Everything about her night was smooth and graceful and I am so proud of her. Her confidence shined, she was herself up there. 

Just so proud!

She was ready!

I mean, she was shining!

The group, they all were beautiful!

So happy!

She was so happy!

My favorite!

Love!

Sisters!

She had a big cheering section!

Family picture!

With Nan!

They all are so proud!

Academic Excellence!

 Both girls are striving and working and we are so proud of them. Between allllll the practices and alllll the games, etc, I just have my own head spinning with it all, yet, both of them handle what they need to and make it all happen!

So, last night they were honored for their hard work during the Academic Excellence Awards at school.

Looked good to see so many being honored

After the 7th graders, Lily's groups turn.

There's Lily!

Then made it down to the Seniors!

And there is Lex!

I did a horrible job of taking pictures.

But snagged this one of our two smarty pants!
