You know it's been at least 18 months since your last post when you don't even recognize your own kids in the pictures. Really? Where does the time go?
Oh wait. I think I know where it goes.
It goes to school, work, dance camp, dance practice, volleyball, basketball, church, cheerleading, summer vacations, homework, grocery shopping, laundry, more homework, house cleaning, more laundry, golf, track meets, Dr. appointments... well, I think you get the picture.
So yes, at times it feels like our life is a little too full. But really, it's so full of so many amazing things and amazing people that it makes it hard to complain. Well, I could do without the laundry. :)
So, rather than bore you with the details of the last 18 months, I'll just catch you up and share a few pictures. If for no other reason than I want to be able to recognize the kids in my post.
We'll start here, with the Valentine Card I never sent. Oops!
Meet Rylee Jay Bird. My funny little 6th grader. In the last year she has graduated from Elementary School joined the Middle School Volleyball, Basketball and Track Teams, continued dancing, and has begun wowing us, and all who know her, with her amazing photography. She is neat and organized and hilarious. Her sense of humor can be a little mean, but Oh So Funny!
She's on the honor roll and has way too many best friends.
Our little Brookie Cookie has become a woman. No more cute little girl with big green eyes. I mean, she's still cute and still has enchanting eyes, but in a much more womanly way. It's disgusting. Especially since men and boys take notice all too often. She once again played Basketball and became quite the amazing Volleyball player. She still loves dance and golf, Student Council and reading. A few weeks ago she got her drivers license. Scary! Her BFF's (Lacy and Kennedy) spend a great deal of time at our house, eating our food and hanging out with Ryan and I. They're good kids. We'll keep 'em.
Ryan and I spend most of our time keeping track of our beautiful girls. You know, fighting off the boys and doing their laundry. (That word keeps creeping in to this post. Maybe it's because there is a mountainous pile of it in my laundry room.) We love watching all their games and laughing with their silly friends.
So there you have it.
Someday soon I promise to share a few of the highlights of the last year. There were some good ones!
