Peach Days, Haircuts and Cheerleading Camps.....

Wow I am a little behind! We have been a little busy the past few weeks and with dial-up I have not had the patience to post all the pictures. I just decided it was only going to get worse! Brinley and Halle wanted to do future rockettes but we were out of town that weekend they performed so we let them do the Cheerleader Camp. Brinley LOVED it, and Halle liked it until the day of the performance. She told me that she was NOT going to perform, she DID NOT want to. Usually when she makes her mind up there is no changing it whatsoever. She went willingly with her class and she actually got out there and knew her stuff. It was so fun watching them get so excited when they saw us. Brinley did very well and she knew the entire dance. (I'm a proud mom, I guess). Brinley got to take it with her cousin and she loved it!

HAIRCUTS!

The girls have been asking to get their haircut. It has been a while since we cut it and Brinley said she wanted long hair so I was surprised when she said that she wanted her haircut. I like the easiness of long hair and being able to pull it up, but they sure look cute with their hair short as well!

PEACH DAYS!
I know it has been a few weeks since Peach days, but I thought that I would post a few pictures that we took. The kids had this idea that they wanted to ride in the parade with Brinley's school and I thought it sounded kind of fun. Their cousins are here so they wanted to ride as well. They were all riding bikes or scooters and Nate's sister and I walked behind them. I thought it was be just an easy stroll down main street. Boy was I wrong. First we wait in the line and then finally it was our turn to go. As we turn down to go on main street, Lily decides that she doesn't want to ride the scooter anymore. So Teresa has to walk down main street holding it for her. All the while, I am chasing Brinley and Parker telling them to slow down and stay by us. Then Halle takes off riding her bike not watching where she is going. She rides her bike looking at the crowd, the candy on the street or most frequently, looking behind her. She is coasting down main street, getting further and further ahead of us and the float in front of us. So I am chasing her telling her to use her brakes, but she isn't listening to me. Finally I catch up to her a few blocks later and she had crashed into someone in front of her because she wasn't watching, and she didn't know how to stop! Meanwhile, Addison decides that she doesn't want to ride her scooter either. So Teresa has both scooters while trying to keep up with the girls! I'm sure people were just laughing at us. We were probably the best entertainment of the whole parade! Now I know you are probably asking where Nate was for all of this! Let's just say he is smarter than I and made the excuse that he HAD to be at Peach City! Let's just say that next year, I will really think about this, or maybe I will make sure that Nate gets to join in on the fun!
All ready to ride in the parade!
Halle not so sure about all of this!
