Pictures from the Weekend

Little B is on the rod floor and the kid that won is actually walking down the side!
Little B with his coach, she is the best!! She rode home with us and I am sure it was a ride she will not forget I just hope she doesn't think we are too crazy!!
It always amazes me how high he gets. I love the look on his coaches face as she watches him practice. She truly cares for each kid on the team.
He is doing his ball out here but it is really blurry

State Champ!

Little B had his state competition this past weekend and it went well. He qualified for nationals in three events and that also allowed him to do syncronized tramp since he qualified in regular. He ended up with a 3rd, 4th, and 1st Place!!!! He got first place in sub-advanced trampoline!!! His pass is above. I felt so bad for him he was waiting to go for almost a minute but it seemed like forever when he was up there. The key is to stay on the X in the middle of the tramp and he did all but the last trick at the end! We are so proud of him and the hard work he has put into all of his events. Looking forward to nationals in Springfield this June! This will be his last tumbling meet...he is going to start pole vaulting and track this fall.

Easter 2010

The First Egg!!!
Little B had to make sure they were in long enough to be bright!!
Checking on the color.....
"this waiting stuff stinks!!"
Look at all my pretty colors!!!!!!
After Church at Grandma's house.
The N grandchildren! We laughed because the outfits matched and we didn't even know what the other one had bought!!
It was SSOO windy it was almost too windy to fly kites!
Baby B loved her egg hunt!!
Smelling some beautiful spring flowers!
Baby B giving Baby K her egg! These two cousins are going to have a lot of fun growing up together.
This is how you do an egg hunt on the farm.....in a gator! Baby B, Big B, and Cousin J reading their clue to find their next egg!
Big B checking with PaPa to find out where he needed to go next!
Little B hunting by foot!
And now in the Gator. Some clues were close but others needed some transportation to get to them!
Little B had another reaction to something outside so he was in for the rest of the afternoon at Grandma G's.
The boys with their big toys!
After a little muddin with the cousins.....
This was good Cousin J flipped his 4 wheeler with his girlfriend on the back in the creek!!! They are making many memories together.
Baby B having a tea party with Aunt R. Baby B napped most of the day away, but at least she was in a good mood when she woke up!!!
Easter Sunday was spent with family. We started the day at church and the rest was spent with both of our families. The kids had a great time with all of their cousins as usual!! The most important thing was celebrating the true meaning of the Easter Holiday. We had our youth group over on Friday night to watch The Passion of the Christ! It was awesome to see 15 kids reaction to that movie. It is so hard to watch what Jesus went through but also a wake up call to the sacrifice he made for each of us. We are so blessed!!

Flip Flopping Duo and Mud Brother!

Not too sure if she wants to participate or not...
....once she started she was in heaven and that was all she wrote!
Baby B started tumbling and trampoline class this week and did a GREAT job. Last summer we tried a parent tot class and were drop outs after the first night. She hit few kids and was not in the mood to share the equipment. So we decided to wait a little bit to try again. When Little B's team opened up a class for little ones we decided to try. So glad we did she did great and the coaches were so good with them. She is all ready for next week!!!!!!!!!
She LOVED being in the big gym like brother.
WOW look at the patience Little B has waiting for her turn!!!!!!!! (that was a first to use patience and Baby B in the same sentence)
First time on the double mini. If you don't know what this is........you can only jump three times on the double mini. Once in the first white square where the green circle is and then jump over the red onto the next white square where the orange and red circles are. The older kids do tricks each jump the younger ones are just trying to jump from one circle to the next!
TA DA!!!!!!!! She had the ta da part down!!!
She was so happy to be on the trampoline that was the thing she wanted to do most and it was the last thing they did! She tried to sneak on a few times!
Baby B's fan club. The bigger kids practice after the tots. The boy beside Little B has a brother in Baby B's class.
Baby B and the fabulous Coach K. Coach K will be leaving us in June to go and begin her "real" job. She is going to be working with the visually and hearing impaired. She has a such a wonderful heart, she will be missed!

1st Place Sub-Advanced Trampoline
Little B had a T&T meet yesterday. This is only the second one this year since he has been busy with all the other sports. He did great 1st in Trampoline and 3rd in Double Mini. Nationals are close to home this year so he is really trying do well so he can compete in all 3 or 4 events!! He has the opportunity to do syncro trampoline with another boy from our gym he is not sure if he wants to yet. I hope he does it would be really cool!!!
Tumbling is not Big B's thing so he prefers basketball games and mudding with the 4 wheelers! We had box seats for the MVC tournament thanks to my sister in law!!
Big B and his friend A had a great time on the 4 wheelers one day when it was muddy! At least this time they did not need the tractor to pull themselves out!
Thank goodness for washing machines!!!!!!

Curlers Gone Bad


Our own little blond Annie!!
This is when we had put detangler spray on and used the hair dryer to relax them. Below was after we all but combed them out. Then she was happy because she thought she looked like NaNa....my friend that has long curly hair that she loves to play with.
Who knew that curls could be so traumatic. I always remember when my mom put sponge curlers in my hair when I was little. So I thought I would try with Baby B. She was really a good sport when I was putting them in last night while we were watching the olympics. When she woke up this morning I was so excited they were still in!! Then I took them out and that is when the drama began. The curls were so tight I couldn't get a pic through them. She wanted to see them so we held her up to see them in the mirror! Oh my goodness she did NOT LIKE them!!!!! She screamed in horror for us to "take them out" she kept begging us to take them away. She wouldn't even let me take a picture of them that is why all the pictures are bad. So I don't think we will be sleeping in curlers anytime again soon!!
