Grays SOOO EARLY!!!!

So, at the ripe old age of 30, I seem to have more gray hairs than brown, and they take over more every day!!!!  Getting ready today I have finally decided to give into my sister and color my hair, when I loose another 5 lbs....I'm doing a 5 lb challenge through WW.  You set a goal, non food related, for every 5 lbs you loose.  I have 1.5 more lbs to go before I get to my first 5 lb goal, I started this 2 weeks ago, which will be a haircut, much needed and I've decided to set my 2nd goal to be a color job, haven't colored my hair since I was 19.....now all I need to figure out is stay the same color as my currently brown hairs:-) or to go lighter????  I look forward to any thoughts on the subject, I stink at making decisions like this!!!

Gymnastics Meet #2!!!!

The girls had their 2nd meet today at their home gym, Corner House Gymnastics, and knocked the socks off of themselves:-)!!  Abbie finished 1st place overall in the Level 2, 6 year olds and Austyn finished 5th place overall in Level 2, 7 year olds.  Abbie moved up one spot and Austyn moved up 2 spots from last meet, so we are just so overjoyed and proud of our girls!!!  Austyn is learning to slow down her moves and take the time to achieve perfection and Abbie is swinging her way on up the charts!!!!  Such proud parents we are!!!!!!  Pics will come soon once Courtney downloads and shares for the world to see!
On a second note, we have Emmalynn's dedication at my parents/sister's church in the morning and we are so excited to go!  Courtney isn't gonna make it because he's having to play manager of everyone tomorrow unfortunately, but Emmie's godfather will be there in thoughts and prayers!  It's such a neat time to spend with family and friends and we can't wait to see some old familiar faces coming to celebrate the joy of a child being committed to the Lord and the awesome responsibility that we have for raising her in the ways of the Lord as well!!!  Makes us so happy and honored to named Emmie's godparents and be apart of this awesome journey she is on!!!  So, that wraps it up for me...gotta get the tail end of the stomach flu I have gone so we can celebrate with family and friends tomorrow morning!

So proud of my girls!

So, as you've seen, the girls had an awesome first competition at their meet this morning!!  Both did such a great job and only Austyn was a little nervous.  I was up half the night worried about if they would be nervous at all, which made for lots of lack of sleep for this Momma and a very long day for all of us.  We had to get up earlier than normal and get across town by 8am, and saw our lovely ladies knock it out of the park with their first time out!  We've got another meet on the 29th, so hoping they are more comfortable and knowledgeable about how it all works and what to do when.  Austyn got 7th place for the 7 yr old Level 2 category and Abbie got 2nd, YES 2ND place, GO BOB GO, for the 6 yr old Level 2 category.  They each had their own strengths and we have talked to Austyn about how she can improve and bust her way through to the top 3 so we can advance to Level 3....I know, I have high hopes already, but I think they've found something they are super great at and want them to excel at one thing so we can put all our focus on just one thing instead of Mommy driving here and there and everywhere....:-)!!!
After leaving the competition, we made our way to The Cumming Tap to watch about 50 people snow shoe and ski a fun course, including grown men and women running through obstacles and going down slides....great time had by all!!  Tons of fun for those racing and cold fun time taking pics.  It was amazing how right before the race started, it was snowing!!  It was perfect for picture taking and awesome to see people doing what they love with the perfect conditions(snowing)!!  I can't wait to try out snowshoes with Courtney some afternoon we don't have kids...looks like an awesome fun time!!  So until next time....have a great one all and talk to you soon!!!

Weirdness....

The weirdness that is trying to text your blog post is that it comes in 3 sections out of order....so I guess I'll keep this to a minimum and only post something 150 words or less from now on:-).  My hubby feels that I'm not posting enough and don't have any pics, can't figure it all out, so he's gonna help out he's told me and also posted here!!  He obviously doesn't have his hands full with the 5 or more blogs he has, I lost count....and the several that he's helping to take over this year too...what can I say, the man LOVES TO BLOG!!!!  So, on with things....time to bathe Abbie and be all ready for our competition tomorrow morning, bright and early at 8am...Momma is a nervous ball of crazy and the girls have no idea to even be nervous, so I guess it's all me....I'll update on Sunday as to how all went!!  Have a wonderful weekend all!

(3/3) people race on skis and snowshoes down the trail....a day of firsts for us...I cant wait to see how it all ends!! Update on both on Sunday.
