MK auditioned for her ballet studio's Company this past May.  She was one of 32 auditioning and she was one of 15 who were asked to join their Company dancers.  She is loving her time at the studio and we are loving our time watching her dance! mk was here
 MK performed in the studio's Fall production, Beauty and the Beast.  It was phenomenal!  
 I have always loved the stage!  As an adult/mother, I love being able to take my children to arts performances and seeing them get lost in what is going on right before their eyes!  It's amazing!
 We may have gone 3 times!  It was that good!  Maryn saw it twice and begged to go back again!  We are so proud of MK and the hard worker she is!  She is a busy little bee these days and works so hard and diligently.
 Maryn and I found these funny masks at the grocery store and we just had to try them on!
 Maryn even gave her shot at photographing me with the mask on!
 One thing is for sure....theatre week, and the actual performance dates are a bit exhausting!  Bless.  MK asked for my jacket to block out the light so she could go to sleep for a moment!
 We all do what makes the family happy....and sometimes we even rope Pop into the fun!  Pop has been a Gamecock for life, like die-hard style.  To see him with a wild, crazy orange wig on means one thing....he loves his grandchildren!
 These boys of mine do fit in quite well on the Clemson campus.  Love them both and I loved spending the day with them in their element.  
 Had to take a selfie....and during this I learned that I am not well versed in taking selfies, lol
 The post-game frenzy on the field....so we needed a pic!
 Disney on Ice
 I totally surprised these two.  In fact, I took them to lunch and then made up a story about how I needed to run an errand.  They were so confused when we arrived but oh so happy when they realized we were staying!
 We had a great time and it was music to my soul watching these two.  They were in complete awe and did not stop smiling until it was all over!
 My little Maryn the Star Wars woman.  She loves this mask!  And she can't wait until Halloween!  She asks everyday if it is time to go Trick-or-Treating!
 This little one.  We all just adore her and we all especially love her funny little self.  She loves to dress-up and hats are her favorite!
 The quote on her shirt says it all....Though She Be But Little, She is Fierce.  So true.  This one will go so far in life because she is going to push through with such determination and control that it is going to make heads spin!  And no will not ever be an answer that is taken lightly in her world.

I still ask him well into the season if he would like to quit, lol.  He LOVES playing.  He LOVES tackling.  He LOVES the friendships.  He LOVES the coaches.  
So, I am trying to embrace it and I pray big that he will stand up after each play and walk away without a scratch each game.  Very selfish prayers but.....
