Since we had to leave school early today

She was a little jumpy hence the slightly blurry picture.

Florida

How awesome is this?
This was only her 2nd time competing in hurdles.
I can't believe that's my baby doing that!
So impressed with all of her abilities; she's always throwing something new in the mix!
P.S. (She shouldn't be running with her hands in her sweatshirt but it was SO cold today-
almost unbearable!)

The last Choir concert of the year is so much fun.
It's called the Pop concert.
(I actually busted out some YMCA moves if you must know. HaHa)
The fun continues even after it's over as you can tell by these two friends
photo-bombing our picture.

Cali was chosen as most inspirational for her team and Cassi received the "WILDEST" award which is a coaches choice.

They are both die-hard cheerleaders and evidently it's appreciated!

Very proud of both of them!

Frogs and dogs.
Scott and the girls didn't have a lot of luck frog gigging while we were in Florida, in fact they only got 4.
We froze them and brought them home.
The big girls were excited to try them, they said they tasted like chicken.
Cali was a little uncertain but she missed dinner and was trying it alone so I understand her nervousness.
It was a great way to begin barbecuing season!

I was so proud of this picture when I looked at it on my phone. 

We just returned from Florida last night and I thought I looked tan and healthy.

Looking at the picture on my computer all I can see is a crooked smile, 

squinted eye, and paler skin that I thought I had after 10 days in the sun. Ugghh!

Just goes to show, that we are all way too hard on ourselves!

  Most of these are Cassi's and Cali's- I think they got this habit honest.
It reminds me of my childhood; my mother left her shoes all over the house all the time. :)

This is one of the many lizards that hangs out on my porch. It likes to be close to me and I am always afraid I am going to step on it.

Sometimes I think I should research how many times I've posted pictures of the moon but then I think

it doesn't really matter anyway. It never ceases to amaze me, the horizon of blizzard white mountains with a

pastel hued sky and a perfectly round full moon. I truly love it so!
