Back to School

Can't believe the summer is over and the kids are going back to school. Madie will be a Sophomore at Leon High School, Michaela will be starting 7th at Raa Middle School and Kelly will be starting 3rd at Springwood Elementary. We've got the trifecta of schools again this year!

Band Camp

Madie has just spent the last two weeks attending band camp for her high school marching band. Most days they were there from 8:30 am to 9:00 pm. Some very long, hot days for them! On Friday night we went to watch what they had been working so hard on. They treated us to their warm up exercises, techniques, and the first part of their show. It will be great to see it all come together at their first football game.

Hannah O'Donnell and Madie have been friends since they were little kids...now they are in high school and marching band together.

GO LEON LIONS!!!

Great buys!

Madie, two of her friend - Molly and Kendal, and I went school shopping and happened to walk through the area in Dillards where all of the prom dresses were. The girls had fun trying on the dresses and we ended up with two. The short one was normally a $120 dress we got for $17 and the long one was normally $229 and we got it for $30. Wasn't planning on spending that $47 but I'm sure we will be glad we did when the opportunity for her to wear them comes around and we don't have to pay full price.

Plus, doesn't she look beautiful in them!!!

Fishin' at Joe Budd

We took the kids fishing out at Joe Budd Pond on Saturday morning. Although the fish weren't biting very much (we only caught 5 total) everybody had lots of fun.

Jeff caught the biggest fish of the day.

Michaela ate a worm!!!! (not really!)

We even saw a little alligator swimming around.
