Baseball 2012

 MacKelle did her final year of T-ball this year. She is ready for coach pitch!! Here are a few pics from the season...

Trace had his first year in the minors (he plays for the Dodgers)...It is like a whole new game from coach pitch. Much more challenging and time consuming. It was really fun to see him progress throughout the season. He even started pitching some. They only lost one game during the season and took 4th in the tournament. It was a great season and so fun to watch the kids.

Dylan and Kaylena's wedding...and MacKelle's "special day"!

 MacKelle and Keylee were asked to be the flower girls for Dylan and Kaylena's wedding. MacKelle has been SO excited! She has counted down and been waiting and waiting! FINALLY the day came. MacKelle came running into our room and said "Mom, today is my special day!!". Justin and I had to chuckle a little, since it wasn't really HER "special day". Brent and Geranne (our neighbor, friend, and landlord) have been working on things leading up to the wedding for almost a year. It sure paid off! It was BEAUTIFUL!

Amber (Derik's girlfriend), and Jenny...

 Here comes MacKelle and Keylee...they did their job beautifully ;)

Here comes the bride!

 Her dress was soo pretty!!! I LOVED it!

 The bride and groom were so sweet, it was like watching a scene in a movie. They both cried...making all of us cry too :)

Here is the cake I made for the reception...plus 6 sheetcakes (whew...glad to be done with that)

 The topper said their names and wedding day on it (I didn't get it very good in the picture)

Just married Truck...in the wedding colors :)

 Good time by all! Congrats Dylan and Kaylena!!!!!

Dance Recital

Last Thursday we got to go and watch MacKelle at her dance recital. She did BEAUTIFULLY!!!

Here are a couple of pre-recital pix...What a cutie!

 She was so excited...and the best part...Dad bringing her flowers for her excellent performance! She loves it!! We love you MacKelle!!!!!

Spring Dance Recital

Mackelle had her 2nd dance recital. She did wonderfully! I think she has a knack for the dancing thing...although I wouldn't be biased, would I? You can watch her dance HERE.

 MacKelle's Daddy got her some flowers for her excellent performance. She LOVED them!!

 Here she is outside the Hyart Theater...Just moments before performance. :)

 The grand finale, all of the students of the Lovell Dance Academy.

Promenade

 MacKelle got to participate in RMHS's promenade. I had never seen something like this before, but it was pretty fun. She was a crown bearer for the prom royalty. If you know MacKelle, pretty dresses and crowns are right up her ally. :)

 MacKelle with BFF Rylee...

Dancing with Dad...aawwwww.....

MacKelle

MacKelle  is the special person for preschool this week. Here is her poster. She is our special person every week here. We love our MacKelle and all the fun that comes with her! She has always been our princess. Being the girl between the two boys, she can hold her own, but she is definitely a girly girl!  She has a huge personality for such a little girl! We lover her so much and are SO happy she is part of our family

Cowley Corn Cookout

Now for those of you not from Cowley, the Cowley Corn Cookout is a FUN event! There are all kinds of free things for the kids to do (Jumpy toys, slides, water slides, obstacle coarse, free cotton candy (as much as they want), bottled water to drink) and then after they've played all day long there is a wonderful dinner consisting of super yummy pulled pork sandwiches, or bbq beef sandwiches, corn on the cob (of coarse), and tables full of salads and desserts (pot-luck-style).  So the kids just play all day and the adults can hang out and chat. It was great! I didn't get many pictures of Trace because I hardly saw him. He was having a blast hanging out with all his friends...each time I saw him he was with someone new!

This is a picture of MacKelle and I with our friends: Shayla and her beautiful kids (minus 2 of them, who were probably running around like Trace and having a blast)

This is MacKelle's new good friend her name is Rylee. She is a cutie. In fact, she has glasses too, and when they are together (especially if they both have their glasses on) they look quite a bit alike. MacKelle LOVES Rylee. They are in the same grade and will hopefully be friends for a long time!

This is the only picture I got of Trace, he was hard to get to hold still long enough. Here he is with Remmington having a snack break. Remmington is in Trace's grade too.
