Phi Mu dance marathon

 It was a beautiful evening for a dance marathon to raise money for Phi Mu's philanthropy, Childrens Network for Children's Hospital. 

It was great to see the other sororities and fraternities helping Phi Mu raise money as well by participating in their dance marathon!  

All the groups did good and it was a fun event..........but I have to say, those boys impressed me with how many participated and their dance moves! ha!

Love their friendship!

Excited for the event!

She was dressed to impressed...even if she didnt actually dance!

They had food trucks and all kinds of fun things!

Phi Mu went first! They did good but I have to say, I would have had all those girls out there because it was their event and them raising money.........just saying!

BIG 10 for the guys! KA did great!

Pike had a huge turnout and they did so good!

Here for the shoes!

And bonus when we see one of our most favorites!!

Cullman bound for XC

 It was a super early trek to the Owens Classic (now called Gatorade Classic) for Lily this morning but she had a great run and now time for Auburn football!

387 girls..............just wow! And, if you can tell, there is Rachel..............of course.....in the lead and winning it!

Love this view when they go around the lake!

Found her! 

And.......bad picture....just surprised I got her coming through the finish line!

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.

And her other sisters!

They all look so cute!

Game day ready! Big Gamecock win to seal the fun night for her!

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!
