Claire and Cam make the Tribune Times!

Claire and Camdyn both had their pictures included in the Tribune Times (local neighborhood section of the Greenville News)! They were featured in the Woodmont Cheer Camp spread! I was able to go to the Tribune Times site and pull off the pictures of the girls to load them here!

Go Cats!

Latest Sewing Project: Dresses

I used the pillowcase pattern and added in arm holes and casing for a ribbon neck and voila - the cutest dresses ever!

The materials cost me $6.50 to make each dress - so cheap and so cute! :)

Camping Crew 2009 - Jason, Cayce, Reese, Will, Stu, Clark, Nate, Kendall, Claire & Cam

Top 5 Reasons why much to everyone's surprise Kendall will go camping AGAIN:

1. Cabins and bathroom facilities (located just a short distance away) were nicer and cleaner than expected.

2. Clean fresh air with NO MOSQUITOES! Seriously - the campfire must have kept them away!

3. Campfire chats after kiddos are in bed with three of my favorite people! Love you Nate, Cayce and Jason!

4. Time away from TV, cell phones, schedules, and traffic makes you realize little you really need to be happy.

5. A chance to try something new outside of my comfort zone and realize that I really enjoyed it!

A Visit from Camdyn's Teachers

These fish were "won" by Claire when she was in Ms. Yarbrough's class so we had to show them we had kept them alive and kickin'!


Camdyn's 4K Teachers came by our house today for a get to know you visit! Camdyn and big sister Claire (who also had Ms. Yarbrough and Mrs. Spears) had a ball giving them a tour of our home and showing them some of their favorite things. Ms. Yarbrough and Mrs. Spears are wonderful, loving, nurturing role models for our girls and we feel so blessed that our family is able to work alongside them for the coming school year! 

Camdyn's Bandana Outfit

Took a break from sewing the last few weeks so I decided to test out my memory and try finishing up Camdyn's bandana outfit today. I made her a swing top and shorts instead of the capri pants like I made for Claire. I'll post the pic of Claire's outfit too so both of them will be here!

Such a cute and CHEAP outfit to make using only four bandanas!

Cheer Camp

Claire and Cam finished a 4 day camp at Woodmont this week. They learned cheer drills, basic stunts, chants, and a team dance. They were each paired up with a varsity cheerleader who was their "big sis" for the week. Today they hosted a showcase of what they learned this week. The girls both loved it - think they both caught the cheerleading bug!
