Sisters

I hope my girls remember that no matter how much they fight that they are SISTERS!

A sister may fight with you - but a sister will always stand with you!

Straight or Curly

I say curly - Rachel says straight!

For the longest time Rachel would straighten her hair everyday! I would beg her to please leave it curly - but moms just do not know anything! Before the first day of school this year, I talked her into leaving it curly for one day of high school and see what happens..... and what happened was - everyone loved it curly! So, for the most part she wears it curly everyday now - she still straightens it on some days - I have to be very honest - I am so very jealous - I always wanted hair like hers! I must have wished for it so much my first born got it!

Freshman year of basketball

Rachel's first year in high school was a lot of fun! She went to Mayde Creek High School and she played for the freshman team basketball - this meant a lot of practices, drills and running. She loved every minute of it and made many friends on the team. The whole family enjoyed going to her games, this summer we will be focusing on conditioning and drills to prepare her for next year!

Her team took time out to go to the Rockets game - they had a blast!

Memorial Weekend

This Memorial Weekend was a lot of fun! We went to Fort Worth and stayed with my parents which is always such a treat!

I was asked to make Kathys Baby Shower Cake - which scared the heck out of me - everyone knows that my mom makes amazing and beautiful cakes - so for her to ask me to make the cake put my nerves in over drive! The design changed several times and my fondant is very yummy but still needs help with drying!

We had a small b-day party for me on Saturday - Cindy and the kids, Kathy and Todd, Mom and Dad and the Honshteins all came to celebrate and enjoy the Sun! Cindy made me the funnest cake I have ever had - it was green and yellow -I loved it!

My Dad & Rylee

Rylee Graduated Kindergarten!

I am so proud of my girls - Ashley was given a handful of rewards from school (Gold Honor, Outstanding Conduct, & Awesome Artist) and will be in the 3rd grade next year. Kaitlyn did very well in all classes - her struggle was math but she made it thru 7th grade. Rachel finished her first year of seminary and made it thru her freshman year in high school! I couldn't be prouder!

CROSSFIT GAMES

This past Saturday we had our first ever Crossfit Games!

More thanks than I can ever give goes out to my Crossfit Friends! Jen & Patrick have inspired me, they have given me access to their knowledge and their garage, they both give me great insight and motivation and they teach me correct technique. Elizabeth gives me someone to see how awesome I will look in the very near future - she is always a few steps in front of me - which keeps me going and she always me to complain about the pain! Dallas has been an amazing workout partner - she is strong and steady and is always ready to workout with me. My girls never complain when I need to workout and they always cheer me on! Without these wonderful people I would not have been able to do as good as I did at the games - and so my results:

Thank-you to Jen & Patrick for putting on these games and showing me how very much I have improved - I can't wait to show even more improvement next time!

I need to add here that Elizabeth and I also ran our first 5k together a couple of weeks ago and my time was right around 41 minutes - I am recording these times to see how much better I get in the next 3 months!
