Something Magical About Black & White

I am normally not a fan of black and white, especially for children. However, occasionally, I love taking color out of a photo for a whole new look.

Rachel's Darling Costume!

How cute is Rachel's costume for her recital? She will be wearing this in May for her ballet recital. I can't wait! It is on Mother's Day. Sooooo....there will be more pictures coming soon! My little ballerina! How I wish I had a costume like this when I was seven! Ahhhhh. The things we can do for our kids! Love ya Rachel!

Ricky's Valentine Treat!

As you may know by now, there is NO where to eat in our town!!! THIS is TRUE! It is a REAL killer on holidays and birthdays. Sooooo, this year, Ricky made our house his "Home for Fine Dining." He invited a few friends over and the boys treated us to a wonderful dinner, made my them! Ricky was the ring leader of all this. He coordinated a babysitter, food, and friends. What a great Valentine's present! Hope yours was great also!!! P.S He even ironed the table cloth!

Tyler is Playing Basketball

Ricky is Tyler's coach for basketball. He is doing a great job and I have to say those games are really exciting to watch! These kids are REALLY into the games, and so are the parents! :) It's not about trying their best anymore, it's about WINNING! Tyler has really improved and the competition has really tightened. Tyler is learning his skills from the best.

Rachel is Playing Basketball!

Rachel is having a blast playing basketball. She is doing great. She even was able to grab some points! She plays on a team with boys and girls who are in both first and second grade. The boys can be rough, but Rachel doesn't let that get to her! I actually think the girls on the team are some of the better players! Ha ha ha.

Daddy/Daughter Dance

Rachel has been talking about this dance for the last MONTH! Ricky and Rachel attended a Daddy/Daughter dance sponsored by Camp Fire Girls. There were over 100 girls there plus their fathers. Rachel had such a good time! All the girls get dressed up and go have a dinner and a dance at this super cute Medieval looking church in El Dorado. Rachel had been perfecting her dance moves for the last month and gave Ricky the work out of a lifetime! My dear friend Heather helped do Rachel's hair because I went to Dallas to hang with my coolest cousin, Amy! I think Rachel will always remember this night...notice the corsage and boutonniere! They looked so cute!
