Just the cutest thing you could ever see!

This just is soooo sweet!

Friends for the longest and this just is so sweet!

So stunning for Freshman year Hoco!

Lily looked soooo gorgeous! She is just blooming and my gracious, I am so proud of her!

I am just speechless. When we found the dress, over the Summer, she fell in love with it and it surprised me that she loved it just because it was so bright and different than what she normally goes for. It was a perfect choice for her!

Stunning!

Just growing up so fast!

My other daughter and daughter. Love these two!

Before he had to go to the JAX State game, they got a picture!

Cracked me up! They had already done this and I didnt get to see it........so I had them do it again and they were so confused and it was just hilarious watching them recreate it!

So adorable!

Her best of the best friends!

I mean, just so cute!

Lily loves these girls like her sisters!

The whole group!

All the girls!

Beautiful! All there dresses looked so good up on the mountain!

Sweet friends! They went to Calhouns for dinner and then all of them headed to Kelby's house after the dance to hang out and the girls all spent the night. Fun memories were made!

She's on top of the world!

This picture was a process.....but glad to have it! ha!

Another JAX State home game for Lex

She came by for a split second. Brought her dirty clothes, helped Lily with her makeup touch up for the dance and then was out.

Didnt want a picture because she 'wasnt ready'.............so I snapped one anyways :)

She's a busy girl.

Putting on lotion and not paying attention so I got a picture! :) Looking so cute for the game and ready to have a great time!

Then she sends this with her big, Miranda before the game.

Cross Country in the cornfields!

We were up bright and early for Lily's Cross Country meet in Munford. It is in the cornfields so we dont get to see much of her running but she says it is one of the courses she enjoys the most so thats good! She had a great run and it was an absolutely beautiful Saturday once it warmed up a little from the morning and the fog cleared!

The morning called for a sweatshirt!

Always great to see her coming around a corner or coming up to where we are!

We tried our best to see and find her! And........there she is! ha! Nan found her, too, in the cornfields!

Rounding to the end!

And...the finish line!

Sweaty, tired.............but done!

The girl's placed 3rd!

Friday night lights with Hoco!

The weather was perfection. It felt like fall and it was beautiful to be out at the game for Homecoming. Big win against Cherokee County. Lily loving all the Homecoming festivities such as the pep rally, parade, getting out of school early, and knowing she was top 3 for the court.

It was a great one for her!

A day that can be forgotten or remembered

On this day, September 24th...........can easily be a forgotten day that can go down in the history books as just not remembered. To others, like Alexis, she is waking up and just on cloud 9 as she sent the pictures of her Big/Little reveal. She was so hoping to get the sweet girl she got and it makes my heart happy to see her get someone who will look out for her and love her!

I dont really understand the 'decorate the car' thing as she tried to explain it to me but my GOODNESS at allll the things she got! I mean wow!

And....allll the other things too! She loaded up!

Her BIG!

Her night was made. Her day is made. Her year is made having her!

Official picture!

All the friends meeting their bigs! She said it was a great night!

Lily's friends bday night

She LOVES Yamato, so of course, that is where she picked for her friend's birthday. She was able to pick what she wanted to do to celebrate with her friends, and that is what she wanted so we made it happen!

She loves her friends so much and I love that they love her right back! They are a sweet and fun group and they laughed and talked the whole time. It was crazy busy there and the food took awhile, but that did not bother them at all! The JAX State boy's tennis team ended up sitting at the table beside us and Kelby and Ellie decided they were going to embarrass Lily by taking the leftover bday cake over to their table. Well, the boys were so surprised they were getting almost half a cake............they all sang happy birthday to Lily. It was hilarious and Lily was bright red but loved her second of it! A core memory for sure for her!

Kelby got Lily these Birthday Girl glasses.....and forced her to wear them! Lily then was forced, by Kelby to take a picture with them on! :)
