Rough Rider Posse

Stephany has made it she is part of the Rough Rider Posse. Tryouts were last week and she found out officially today. For those that do not know what that it is they are associated with the cheerleaders. They are on the sidelines during varsity football and basketball games and their job is to get the crowd going. She is very excited and already has ordered her uniforms .

This was very important to her because she didn't make the dance team this year. A few days before tryouts she dislocated her knee again but she went ahead and tried. Unfortunately she fell during her final tryouts and didn't make what was so very important to her.

We feel her personality meshes really well with the RR Posse because it requires her to be out in the crowd. Anyone who knows Stephy knows she is very outgoing and doesn't have a problem getting loud. We believe the reason she didn't make the dance team is because that is not where she was meant to be.

Archery

This weekend the girl scouts got to do some archery. I felt it was more of a dad kind of thing so he was the one who took Ally. They had a great day and hit the target almost every time.

Anniversary

Today was our 17th wedding anniversary. We had a very low key day mainly just hanging out at home. We had a no gift rule but Steve did buy me some very nice flowers and he even remembered that I didn't like roses. We went to dinner at Pappadeuxes and then brought icecream home for the kids. We have had our up and down times and right now we are just enjoying what is day to day.

Bluebonnets

It is spring time in Texas and that means bluebonnets. They grow wild in fields and on the side of the road all over the area and on south down to Austin. It is absolutely beautiful and every year I have the kids pose in them. The girls are so much more cooperative than Matthew but we still managed to get some nice pictures.
