Cheer with Jax State!

 Alexis enjoyed the stunt clinic yesterday with the Jax State cheerleaders.

It was a tough one...after Prom, Church and the time change, we were all on the struggle bus, but when I went to watch, I got to see her in action as a base! She has never based before so watching her was impressive! She enjoyed it but said she likes flying the best!

They had a big turnout!

She did a great job!

Way to go!

Lily's last soccer game!

 Lily's JV season was a short one. I wish the other schools had a JV team so they could have more games but, they ended with a tie and a good game!

Loved watching Lily play!

I mean..the sunset was amazing on this night to watch a good ole soccer game!

There she is! Our number 4 during home games!

Junior Prom!

 Old Hollywood, The Golden Age is historic for a reason so to have it as the Prom theme, is perfection!

I just love Old Hollywood so I know the decor and the atmosphere will be so much fun for them!

We did alllll the pictures....with alllll the friends and then they all headed off to The Rail, in Gadsden, before going to the Botanical Gardens at the Anniston Museum. 

I cant wait to hear all about it!

Her Daddy wanted a picture with his girl!

I wanted one too!

Getting a selfie in before they leave!

Wordless Wednesday!

 



Remembering Rosie, our fish

 Well, she lived a good life.

A longer life than I expected her to. We have had her for 2 years so she lived a total of right at 3 since she was with Camille before she gave her to Lily because they were moving to Texas. That is pretty long for Beta fish!

I just loved her personality. She would literally come straight up to the bowl and look at me when I would look in on her! She would move with me to each side of the bowl following me everywhere I would go!

She did NOT like have a friend. Poor Bubbles didnt stand a chance when we put her in with her. The saying is that only male Betas fight and are mean and that females enjoy having more than one in a bowl. Well, when we got Bubbles, Rosie was so mean to her. She would attack her and just be mean. It was crazy and sad to watch. Bubbles ended up not living so the queen had the bowl all to herself. 

And she loved being queen!

Crazy how a 'memory' pooped up to me about our very last Beta, Sweetie that Alexis had TWELVE years ago!

Crazy to imagine it has been that long but both Sweetie and Rosie died the same week but 12 years difference!

So, Im thinking Rosie will be our last fish................

but it wasnt hard taking care of her and she will always be remembered!

I moved her bowl to our room so I could keep a better watch on her since she was looking sick. Poor girl, she was a fighter! She would still try and swim and move even though she looked so sad.

And, to see this post! Sweetie was a beautiful, HUGE, male Beta. We sat him out on the kitchen island because we didnt have cats, then, to worry with them messing with him. I enjoyed seeing him swim around while I would cook and remember Alexis always loving to talk to him too!

 Alexis had her first event to mark her Senior year of DD!

She had the Kawana's pancake breakfast event to kick it off!

This is always a big community event so she was busy!

Love how Mrs. Pam (the main leader over DD) wanted a picture with her!

Lily's first high school Track meet!

Lily has had a lot of firsts lately!

Yesterday was SUCH a beautiful day! We were at the track meet for a very LONG time! BUT, we got to enjoy seeing her run for the first time in her high school career!

She didnt PR, but she is on track (get it) :) to understanding what she needs to do to step it up! Just like in Cross Country, she figured it out and was killing it fast! Cant wait to see how it all unfolds for track! 

She ran the 1600 in this one and did it in 6.54 time!

I just hope the weather stays the way it was for the remaining meets..........since we have to endure the long days! :) fingers crossed!

Our track star!

There they go! Around four times!

Love seeing when she grinds and passes other girls!

Trucking it!
