Long time gone!

Has it really been that long since I posted!!! I guess a few things have happened since August of 2008! Sydney graduated from high school and began her freshman year at Mississippi State University... Sena and Selby have had many accomplishment and fun times..Steve and I have just hung on and watched these beautiful girls grow!! God is so good...We are truly blessed...Maybe it won't take me so long to post again..

Selby Elisabeth

5th grade... I remember that year! Selby has the sweetest teacher this year..I am so excited for her.. She was a little worried but when she met Ms.Hollis yesterday she felt much better. I pray that Selby will meet a really good friend this year and that this will be the best year yet!

My Babies....

Sena is in 7th grade this year. She is excited to see her friends but anxious about her teachers. She has heard the 7th grade is hard.. I know she will be fine and her teachers will love her. She is such a sweet little girl... or should I say big girl.. She Just turned 13 years old. Her daddy and I surprised her with a party. Sena has lots of friends and everyone loves her...

Senior 09'

I can't believe this day is here. Has it really been almost 18 years since my first baby was born? Is this really her last year of school? I can play her life like a motion picture in my head, her first step, first words, first smile,first everything! Now I can add today to my lists of firsts for her.
Sydney's first day of her last year of high school!! Wow time does fly. She is so excited to be a senior... I'm excited too... I think...

summer time, summer time

Why is the summer so short and the school year so long? I'm not ready for school! My babies are growing up too fast and I want it to slow down... We have had a very easy summer... laid back and relaxing...We have made memories and enjoyed each others company... My sisters visited us this summer with their children and we had a blast... My girls are still talking about that visit.. I love my sisters and am very close to them. I pray that Syd, Sena and Selby will have the kind of relationship that Erica, Kim, and I have... Here are a few pics from the summer!

Brace Face

Selby is so cute with braces! She has wanted them for a long time or so she thought. It took about 2 hours to get them on and she was a trooper. Here are a few pictures of the process.

This is before the torture

After 20 min. I could see panic in her eyes!

"Simon Says"

Last night Sena and Selby were in our Church musical/play "Simon Says". They did such a good job. They both had solo's and they played Mary and Martha in the play. I think they had a great time . This was Sena's last time to get to participate because she moves up to youth next month. Sydney was very proud of them.
Do you think Lakeside Youth can handle 2 Hope Girls!!!!
