Dunk Dynasty

 The beginning of the year also meant the beginning of basketball season for Kaylee. This was her second year to play with AYBA and she loved it! I loved that the coach of her team who is also a friend of ours decided to call the team Dunk Dynasty. Which if those of you reading this are anything like us you are highly entertained by the show Duck Dynasty. Kaylee knew several of the girls on her team and made new friends with the others. Kaylee scored several baskets over the season and truly worked hard each week. We even managed to have some family and friends stop in for a game from time to time. (Sorry Lan I did not get a picture of you, I think you took them with your camera.)  It was a great season for us!

Cotillion Fun!

Well somehow I talked Kaylee into taking Cotillion Classes which were offered to 5th graders at her school this year. I think the conversation included a list of friends who were also taking the class to convince her. There were a total of four classes and they were conducted at the local Country Club. Most of the classes included how to shake someone's hand properly, answer the phone, greet someone, thank you note etiquette, and how to act at a formal dinner. I think the formal dinner night was Kaylee's favorite for two reasons; first of all it included a 5 course meal (which her Food Network loving self enjoyed) and secondly it was the last class. Here are a few pictures of her with some of her close friends. It is such a sweet group of young ladies and gentlemen. I feel very blessed that they are growing up together.

 Aren't they so pretty and handsome?
