Happy Birthday to Jamie and Elle!!

Happy Birthday to my little sis Jamie! I am so proud of my little sister and the cute wife and mother that she has become! Everyone always tells us how much we look alike and of course I take that as a total compliment:) Even though we were so far apart growing up and I had to babysit her alot, we are super close now and I don't know what I would do without her in my life!! Hope you had a great bday Jamie...LOVE YOU!!

MORE BIRTHDAYS!!!

Happy Birthday to these awesome ladies!!

Amanda's birthday comes first and then a week later we have Kristi's! So every year we go and get pedicures and then I buy them lunch at Chili's.

Im so glad we have this tradition because I hardly ever get to see these cute faces anymore!!

Kristi and I have been best friends since I was right out of high school and she has helped me through some really hard times. We actually became the best of friends through the darkest time in my life! That's when you know who your true friends are:) Thanks for everything Kristi....I hate that our lives are so crazy that we don't see each other like we use to...so I treasure the moments that we do:)

Amanda and I met when our girls started dancing together at Westside when they were 2!! I feel like I have known her forever too. We are always laughing when Amanda is around and I especially love laughing at her during a pedicure...she is so ticklish!! haha....I feel so lucky to have met Amanda when I did and she is also at the point in her life where we feel like it will never slow down so I love the moments when we take time out to have a little fun and chat together!!

Hope your birthdays were awesome and I love you girls!!

Chantry's 11 going on 17!!

Chantry turned 11 on March 10th!!

I love having Chantry around even though we don't see eye to eye very much!! haha...Our house wouldn't be the same without her and I love every ounce of sassiness that comes with her!!

Proud parents:)

We have taken a back seat to this kid!! HEllO you are only 11 and you already like him more than me!! haha....This is her first little crush Parker.

Chantry we love you so much and our family wouldn't feel complete without you!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!!

ALLSTAR FOOTBALL!!

This year was so fun to watch Branson play football! After the season had ended I received an email letting us know that he was chosen for the AllStar team!! I was so excited and could barley wait for him to get home from school!!

They did awesome, but lost in the end....

He has the ball in this pictures....#8 running it in!!

He also kicked and did such a great job!

WARRIOR ALLSTARS.......

William(the huge one)ha...Daniel....and Branson!

Branson and Braxton became pretty good friends and Braxton's dad was the coach and he did such an amazing job with these boys... he made this year great for Branson:)

I can't believe how fast the time flies....it seems like just yesterday we were watching him play his first game of flag football!!

I love this kid and he knows I am his #1 fan!! I have this saying hanging in his room and love it......."No one knows what a boy is worth and the world must wait and see...for every man in an honored place is a boy that use to be!"

I love watching Branson grow in to such a wonderful young man and I will be sad when he thinks he is to cool to hug and kiss his mom:(

Love ya bud!

Parents week at dance.....

Parents week is always such a long week for me! Between my 3 girls, there are 9 dance classes!! ahhhhhhh...So obviously I make my girls pick some classes for me to watch!! I am so proud of Chantry...she is in 5 dance classes this semester! 2 Ballet...1 point prep...1 jazz...and 1 tap class. On Wed she is there from 4-8:15!! She does get a dinner break....so this night, we were at Arby's eating together:) Usually her and about 4 other girls go to Jimmy Johns or Toms Deli that are right next to her dance studio......

I came to watch her jazz class and she has so much fun and is doing so great!!

Yes.....she gets a little silly for the camera!

more jazz.....Chantry has become such a beautiful little dancer:)

Sairee is taking 3 classes this semester....tap...ballet...and jazz! I was able to go and watch her in ballet....of course this is the day we could not find her burgundy leotard and it was a huge fight before we left about her wearing tights!!.....she won the battle because I was sick of fighting about it!! But she did win the "bun award" that day and got to wear the crown throughout class:)

She has always been so limber and can just plop right in to the splits!!

Sairee is such a beautiful dancer and she is a lot of fun to watch! Her jazz teacher said to me once...."her dad has got to be black!!" haha..she can shake her bootay!! But these pictures show you her more graceful side;)

Now on to my little Meah!! She is hilarious!! Of course she WILL NOT take ballet...so I had her try tap the last 2 years and she loves it!! She did ballet for awhile and hated it!!

Of course she would rather be playing soccer, but she really does enjoy tap. And she loves her teacher miss Amber! (who was my drill captain in high school)

ooooo I just love her!!

It makes me smile so big and ALWAYS brings a tear to my eye when I get to watch my girls dance!! It has always been something that I love to do and am so glad I can watch them grow up doing something that they love also:)

CHEERLEADING CLINIC........

Sairee loves to pretend she is a cheerleader so she was very excited when she got to do the SC cheerleading clinic this year!!

Im sorry but I think she is so stinkin cute!! ha

cute little friends:)

Sairee is the one in the center...my pics arent very good.....

love her!

Sairee loves to dance in front of people and she does it very well...she loves every minute of it. Her dance teacher told me that she can shake her booty!!

I love watching my kids grow up involved in things.....but we all know how much I love dancing so of course I am very excited that atleast 2 of my girls love to dance!!

SURPRISE!!!

SURPRISE!!!

Brooks and I decided to have a surprise b-day for Branson this year....so my mom and sisters helped me pull it off!!

We had the party at Lava Ridge Intermediate school.....it was the perfect place for all of these wild kids!!

Karcyn thought should would help by pulling the cupcakes down! haha....I had my phone in one hand and trying to catch with the other while Nana made a great save also:)

We made them do The Maccarana (have know idea about the spelling)

Nana and Papa Stafford joined in on the fun......

FOOD!!

The boys were the champs of Minute to Win it!

Thanks for your help girls!!

Papa Evans stole the show.....he did a great job as the MC!!!

more games.....

this was hilarious to watch!

Then they played a little dodgeball in the gym and the girls who didn't want to play found fun things to do:)

They are not very shy...... haha

presents......

His friend Megan made him a book of the celebrities that he thinks are hot...and called it "Branson's book of Hotties!!" haha

The girls love to embarrass him......

Branson and his "friend" Tierra!!

I have so much fun with this kid.....and I can't believe how fast time has gone by! It seems just like yesterday that I was holding this cute little guy in my arms:( He is such a great kid and I love having him around!!
