Valentine's Day Party
On Valentine's Day, we had a party. Some of Taylor and Aubrey's friends came over and we ate pizza, had cupcakes, made crafts, and had a fun time together celebrating friendship.
We missed friends who could not come today or who were sick. Happy Valentine's Day!

Dance Competition
This past Saturday, some of the girls from Ashley's Dance Academy participated in the TN State Competition in Knoxville.
On Friday, Taylor and Aubrey went to a workshop for the girls that were participating in the competition. They had a great time learning the last song in Hairspray with Judine Somerville, she danced on Broadway in the musical Hairspray for 6 years. They learned a lot from her about being the star that you really are!!
They did great in competition on Saturday. Great job girls at Ashley's Dance Academy, we are proud of you!

We had a snow day!!
We do not get a lot of snow in Knoxville. It is really sad :(
I would love to have a blizzard with LOTS of snow and everything shuts down for a week or so (I know I am crazy).
So when we get a little snow we go crazy!!
The girls took advantage of this snow day as best as possible. We bought new snow/rain boots, got out the sleds, and had lots of layers of clothes out to stay warm.
This was Maggie's first time in the snow and she liked it for a little while. She did not really like getting cold, even though she had on her sweatshirt!! The snow was up to her body so she could not really walk in the snow. She did a hop in the snow.
We built a snowman, sled, and had a snowball fight between Jody and Aubrey.
Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!! (until March 1st and then time for spring!!)

Nice spring days
Seeing my girls happy and having fun
Summer Time
Reading a good book
The whole Christmas Season
Diet Dr. Pepper
All the laundry done and put away
A good movie
A clean house
Freshly washed sheets on the bed
Fresh cut grass
Birds singing
Friend requests on Facebook
Target
Watching my children sleep
Cotton candy
Disney World
Sand between my toes
A delicious Orange Julius

Phone call and e-mail from a friends
Freshly mopped and vacuumed floors
