Rodeo

Marshall, Victoria and Isabella had a great time going behind the scenes of a local rodeo (Actually Rob and I did too). Our good friends, the Rashall family, own horses and their kids do a lot of riding, so we got to go hang out in the back where all the rodeo families were. Stephanie Rashall spoiled Victoria and Isabella taking them on rides on her horse, Bitsy. Victoria has ridden before and loves horses and now is begging to begin ridding lessons. This was Isabella's first real experience with all this rodeo stuff. She loved riding the horse and feeding her, however she did not like the fact that her hands smelt bad. She was not big on the idea of  horse poop everywhere. I think she is a typical Ballerina.

Bee's thinking man

Oh, I forgot these. These are some more of Elizabeths photos. She is very creative..... and of course Marshall is always willing to show off and be center of attention......

Bee's camera fun

Elizabeth and Hillary came for a visit, youth conference and girls camp. Elizabeth has been camera crazy. I have a ton of crazy pictures loaded on my computer. It has been fun to see her perspective in her photos. Here are a few that I really liked. Pretty good hugh..........

Swim Marshall Swim

Marshall's swimming times qualified him to swim in the first invitational meet of the season. He did great in his age group of 13-14 year olds. He competed against about 50 kids. He placed 2nd in 100 free with a time of 55.25 seconds, 2nd in 50 free with a time of 25.11 seconds, 5th in 50 back time 31.23 seconds, 3rd in 100 IM time 1:05.48.  10th in 50 breast time 36.56 seconds, 3rd in 50 fly time 28.38 seconds. Plus he swam  3 relays. He did awesome. He placed 3rd place over all as a high point score. So he is doing quite well. 

Victoria head to toe Wal-Mart

How fun is this.... Victoria got to audition for the 

Wal-Mart print ad. It was a world wind event. We got the call Friday night for the audition Sat. afternoon. The crazy part was that Saturday morning we had Isabellas recital (with a house full of family to host), Marshall & Victoria's swim meet, Elizabeths birthday (all day), and still had to go to Wal-Mart and pick out cloths. She was dressed head to toe in their clothes that cost about $30. She had a blast at her photo shoot. Partly because Hillary got to be in the shoot with her. They needed an older girl and the photographer asked her to come in. That was funny because she had her hair in a pony tail, no make-up, and wearing a hoodie. They had so much fun and made a great memory together. The good thing is that no matter if she gets the ad or not, she had a blast.

Isabella's recital

On Saturday, we finished up our 2nd year of ballet with Isabella. She loved dancing on the stage and begged to do it again after she finished. They danced to a song called "Jesus Gave Me Wings". 

Isabella asked everyone to come watch her on the stage. So she was excited that Nanny, Memaw, Bobum, Glade, Jonnie, Marshall, Victoria, Hillary, Elizabeth and of course Mommy and Daddy were there. And she made eye contact to make sure we were looking. It was sooo sweet.......

Youth Conference

Well, I can't believe it, Marshall's first Youth Conference. The theme was the whole armor of God. Thus, the got armor shirts and his cute little armor picture that was part of a relay game. I got to go chaperone and it was a blast.
