 Saydee is our die-hard SIDE-WALK Chalking QUEEN! Well into the evenings she will be out there side walking chalking it up, she loves her art and creativity.
Brooklynne loves to play school on a literal daily basis, if there are no willing students to play along with her she will happily play with her "make believe class". Here is a note she wrote to them that I found on the door a few weeks back. Let me translate as Brooklynne's spelling needs a bit of work lol. "To class, I hope you have a good rest of your day, I love you very much."
Dance and Drill Team Banquet, a successful and fun year for all!
Congrats Ellie, she lettered this year!
 It's a Princess Party at the Goodfellow's!
Brooklynne in the middle had a fun time with her little church girls getting all dolled and make-uped at a princess party that the Goodfellow's won via Braylee and Addie (two of our young women at church for the YW camp auction.) A very fun idea!
I had never been in the ultra sound room for anything but a baby floating around inside my tummy so when Bre needed one on her leg, it was a different type of experience. She was getting a lot of pain in her leg and when she would bend down or cross her leg, it felt as though she was going to pass out and faint with dizzy spells. SO STRANGE! The docs thought possibly it could be a blood clot but after the ultra sound, everything checked out a-okay. We (the girls) in our family deal with endometriosis on a monthly basis that is triggered by the menstrual cycle hormone causing tissue to build up in various parts of your body and then the tissue sheds but can't exit the body (the body has to absorb it) causing a lot of pain. They can't diagnosis it as you would have to go cut into the various parts of the body or have laparoscopic surgery to even diagnosis it and then there's no getting rid of it as it's triggered every month with the tissue build it, some months are fine. others are horrible then the cramping around that time of the month is something in and of itself, it's genetic and not fun but things could be worse. So we take it one month at a time. Very heavy flows come with the endometriosis which are joyful (I'll spare the details, but for most people I'm quite certain they would think they are bleeding to death) then also for the past 3 or 4 months Bre has been bed ridden and throwing up due to pain with her cycle, it hasn't been this bad but sparatically before but I am a witness that when it's bad...it is very bad, we are talking you feel like you are in full on labor with contractions that don't give in, not fun!
 Ellie's friend Sydney spent her 16th b-day celebration at the beach at Seabrook where they rented a home for the weekend with a group of girls. They all had a really fun time!
 The girls went biking around town, did bon fires, yummy breakfasts, spent time at the beach, swimming at the pool, hot tubing, had a nice dinner in, had a fun b-day celebration with a rice crispy treat sand castle cake with sand buckets filled with candy toppers,
Fun times at the beach.
 Senior Cheer Year Tryouts
 
Bre and her Senior Cheer Squad.
Congrats girls!
 Goodbye Seniors, KP and Jewel.
Can't believe we will have another senior next year!
 2017-2018 Sumner HS Cheer Squad, yep 20 girls this year!
 Ma ma, I want baby cheese.
 Saydee's new favorite thing is Baby Bel Cheese, not sure if she likes it as much as she likes opening it...such a fun novelty grown-up thing for a two year old!

MORPRO 2017

 BreAnna and Zack
Zack didn't actually ask Bre the day of the dance :) they pretty much knew they were going to go together this year since last years MOPRO when Zack wanted to ask Bre last year but he wasn't quite 16 yet, so sad. They were both busy with cheer for Bre and Baseball for Zack and not living in the same city it just didn't happen until the day of when Zack insisted on making the asking official. These two have been best of friends for a long time so they had a great time at the dance.
