Trip to Ohio.......

The past two weekends have been crazy with baton for Makayla. Two weekends ago we were at a local competition. Kelsey was home from Purdue on spring break and was able to compete. Below is a great picture of Makayla and Kelsey. Don't they just look fabulous!!!!!! This past weekend, Makayla and I headed out to Ohio for a competition. Another road trip with PSOB!!! It was of course a lot of fun as trips with Paula usually are. I had the pleasure of driving this time, and I got stuck with a van full of girls! They were great and they came in handy helping out with Makayla while I was driving. Below are the girls (Morgan, Makayla, Amanda, and Kylie) watching and singing to High School Musical. I am not sure if it was 2 or 3 as we watched both of those movies at least 3 times or more thorughout the trip.
Makayla already to model!!

At the end of a long day, she just couldn't stay up to see what her award would be.....


It turned out to be great! She won her age division "Lake Erie Starlet 4-6." Below she is being crowned by Hunter. She did a great job and was happy to win another banner. Daddy made her a shelf for her room and all of her trophies, since she needs it already. How many more years of trophies..........

Anna and Makayla (best friends) FINALLY won a banner together at the same time. It always seems that they win at different contests and never together but this weekend they did it together. Great job girls!!


Well we left for home immediately following the competiton on Saturday. This is about 10pm watching HSM 2 or 3 again!

And this is about 1:30am still driving....... Makayla kept waking up saying she was hot. That explains the unbuttoned shirt, hahahahaha


And this is about 2:15am on Rt 283. I was really struggling to make it home but thanks to the girls for singing and keeping me awake, we made it home safely. Thanks for a great trip girls! Good luck at Regionals coming up in a few weeks.
I will keep you posted on the rest of the family. For now, we are crazy busy running around from practice to practice, etc.... I don't have any current pics of the others but will start to work on that soon. Matthew has started soccer, so pictures of his games will follow. He is VERY ready for school to be over. It has been a stressful year for both him (and me) adjusting to the life of a middle schooler. As for Mason, he is still going with the flow. He loves Kindergarten, and is ready for baseball to start. Matt is not real busy at work but hoping it will pick up soon. He is ready for fishing to start, and I am ready for summer!!!!!!!!!!!
I will keep in touch, have a great rest of the week everyone!

She is due around November 15th, maybe she will have it a week early on Mason's birthday :) Congrats to you both and to Bode who will be a big brother.
In other news, not much going on with us. I haven't blogged lately because I haven't had much to report. Still busy as always. Matthew started spring soccer practice last night, so that will be running now 2 days a week. Mason is signed up for T-ball again and thinks he wants to do swim team. We will see about that! Makayla is still doing her baton thing, competition this weekend. As for Matt and I we just do all of the running.
