Out with the old, In with the New

Wow. I have neglected this blog for almost a year! It's about time to get it going again!

Where to start?! Well, we SOLD our old house and bought a new DREAM house! :)  Going from a 3 bedroom, 2 bath 1600 square foot home to a 5 bedroom, 3 full bath almost 3,000 square foot home is a great feeling!  We actually had 6 offers the first day the house was on the market, too!   We LOVE our new house! The neighbors are GREAT and Breckyn has a new best friend Sophie, who is also going into Kindergarten at Wallace Elementary School! Fingers Crossed they are in the same classroom! :)  Sophie lives right next to us, so everyday either Sophie is at our house or Breckyn is there. It is a great feeling to have such amazing neighbors!

My Little Dancer!

 

 

Breckyn had her dance recital May 29th and it was adorable!!!! All the little girls did great!

 

 

 

 

Future KSU Twirler?? I THINK SO!

Breckyn and I traveled up to Salina, Ks at the beginning of April to Shannon's Stars Contest! Breckyn did basic strut TWO times and I couldn't have been prouder!!! :) 

Breckyn and Mommy before the contest started!

K-State vs Texas- WE ARE THE BIG XII CHAMPS!

For once a blog not about the kids! :)  I went back to have a "Girls Weekend" with my partner in crime, Lindsay Hoover!  We busted out the fire batons, visited old 'hang outs," met up with old friends, and made new ones! :) But, the best part was getting to Watch my FIRST KSU game of the season and the one that sealed the deal for Big XII Champs!!!  There is NO better school, NO better coach, NO better band, NO better Twirlers, NO better cheerleaders, NO better dancers, NO better QUARTERBACK (Heisman or no Heisman, I would rather have a ROLE MODEL and GOOD PERSON as a quarterback vs a Heisman winner), and NO better TEAM than my KANSAS STATE WILDCATS!!!!!!!! This is the place I DREAMED of twirling at, the place I met my husband, the place I met my best friend! This is the place that my daughter spent  her first birthday and will go to College and follow in her Mommy's foot steps as a KSU Twirler (really need to work on that college fund-taking donations now).  This is the place my kids will hear stories about and hopefully love just as much as we do!! Dorothy was right, "There is NO Place like Home," and Manhattan, Ks will always be my home!



Katelyn and I after her last KSU performance as Feature Twirler!

Myself, Katelyn, and Lindsay!

There is NO better mascot than WILLIE!!!

Just had to throw this in for good measure. My what ten years,
two kids, and a husband will do to you! :)

Hmmm.... Same picture 10 years ago? LOL :) We are even standing on the same SIDES!

I LOVE WILLIE!

This picture give me the CHILLS!  The KSU chant on the TOP of the press box?? YES PLEASE!
