3 Things!

 I feel like it has been forever since I have done 3 things............so its that time!

Lily!

1. She is doing something new and we are LOVING to see her growth and how talented she is with learning piano. She loves it and has loved her teacher and learning how to play! It has been about a month or so that she has been going twice a week and to hear her play...you wouldnt think its only been that short of time. It makes my heart explode to know she is trying something new and excelling in it! Soccer is also gearing up so she now has two big loves....piano and soccer!

2. Miss Lily has a boyfriend. Say WHAT?!?! Yep, that is what I said. Mr. Ryker who lives down the street from us is adorable. She has known him for years but he told her he likes her and she told him she likes him....so she told us that they are dating! {Insert....hmmm...OKAY....here!} :) He literally has been over everyday after they both get off the school bus and they have played everything from soccer {as this upcoming season they are on the same team} to jumping on the trampoline until he has to leave to go home. He will come into the house and is just the sweetest. So, I guess since they are dating....with no money...no car...no means of getting anywhere................they are considering their 'dates' to be playing outside! :) {Side note, his Mom and Tyler liked each other when they were little and Tyler escorted his Mom as she was a cheerleader since they both were in the same grade and school!} Crazy! :)

3. She has a heart of gold. Little things matter to Lily. Being thoughtful and giving hugs and saying I love you mean alot to her. She strives and makes sure to tell us every single day how much she loves us and there is not a single night before bedtime that she makes sure to give us two hugs a piece and yell goodnight...I love you the entire time she is heading to her room. She just makes me smile!

Alexis

1. Varsity cheer is on her radar! YEP! 8th grader got to tryout and she MADE Varsity. That is unheard of! Her cheer practices have geared up this week to be exact and she is loving every minute of it! I cannot wait to watch her shine under those Friday night lights this season!

2.Teenager. Being a teen is HARD. Im telling......I remember...it wasnt THAT long ago. It is just hard. Alll the growth and changes and braces and awkwardness and anxiousness and everything else in between can be alot. She is making her way through and learning her way at the same time. Making mistakes is okay but the biggest take away is to learn from them and grow stronger with God's light shining from within. She is living the teenage life!

3. Styling. This girl knows all the things when it comes hair....makeup...jewelry....you name it. She is a natural with it all and enjoys it too! Her creative mind with everything is a shining light. So talented!
