Little Lakers...

Little Lakers was so fun tonight..
The girls did well.. and Ash.. what a ham! All I have to say is, at least she didn't pout!

Lynn and Sophie's video isn't the best quality, and to be honest, I couldn't see Lynn very well in the first place..


Here's Hallie.. she was in the top four of my favorites to watch ;)..
Otherwise, the Lakers got their bums handed to them on a platter.. still, a fun night!



Here's some pics..
Before the performance.. a little signed sugar..Her incentive.. it's in her hands :)
Lynn and grandpa..
She's such a goof ball!
MiKell.. or Spanky.. or Kitty (Meow!!).. head Cheerleader for the Sophie clan..
Lynn showing her split skills..
Me and Merrill... Pey was wiped out.. Merrill says once she knew the Lakers were gonna lose it, she just let go..

Pre-School Graduation

Lynn graduated from Pre-School today...
She had a really good teacher who always had fun and creative things for them to do. One of our assignments for this month, and to share in the program today, was a book, pictures drawn by Lynn, and her own words written by me, and her... "The Princes and Princesses Fall in Love"... Sounds like a dreamy little book. She had some silly ideas in it, like a bald King and Queen, and a funny little character who said, "Oooh! Banana orphage! (a made up word of Lynn's that makes her giggle...) I am going to turn that banana into a Princess!" She laughed so hard while her teacher read it. (That's the pic!)
They also did a 4 little pigs puppet show and sang some songs that they have learned. It was cute.
Pre-school was good practice for me, it got me to loosen those apron strings, and get ready for kindergarten.
Lynn picked out flowers for her teacher and even wrote her a little note. She kept telling her teacher how much she loves her and that she's "just going to miss her so much!"...
She even began plotting when she would come back to see her... I know, a little attached.
Yesterday, we were gone all day. We helped mom get a quilt done, got the Sam's Club run over with, and I ran into my eighth grade "boyfriend" there. We got to talk for a little while and catch up. My ten year reunion is coming up...
Went home to have a quick dinner and then we were off to the dance review to see Katie and Sophie. They both did so well. Sophie is quite the performer and Katie just exudes confidence now. She's such a Lakette!
Ashley had her issues there, as in she wouldn't sit still and behave. For the little time that Cade was there, he did better than Ash... she has had this little asthma cough, because of the weather being so weird... she kept coughing, more like blowing, on the woman's neck who was sitting in front of us. I got the stink eye a lot... so Ashley was quite disappointed to not enjoy ice cream and watch Lynn eat hers when we got home!

the rest...

so here's the rest of my day (i am typing this one handed because the other one is busy holding my 12+ pound night owl...):
6 am... peyton is still asleep, go for a run. good timing when i get home, peyton had just woken up! love it when things work out so well.
did laundry most of the day.
waited on pins and needles to hear if mikell made cheerleader...
and she did (i knew she would...)
we went and ate at chili's for dinner with most of the fam. (love you katie!)
we sat at what mer calls "the kids table". we missed out on most of the adult conversation. mer was bummed cause he was looking forward to having austio there to yuk it up with him again... those kids are funny though, that sophie... hallie said, as if we didn't know, "i have a weirdo for a sister." sophie was especially giggly and silly.
ash jumped on my back when we were getting out of the car (lynn and mer drove in the truck after we picked it up from the warehouse...) and had me carry her in. i told her i had a lot of other stuff to carry in too, i.e. my purse, the box of leftovers, peyton... she said, "you can do it mom! you are tuff!" i did it, although i nearly passed-out from her choking me... i don't know which was more exerting, running, or that feat!
peyton is pooping on me now, i guess that's why she didn't want to sleep...
