Good thing Grandma saved all my old costumes!!!!!

Peighton spent an afternoon trying on lots of my old dance costumes!

She LOVED it.

Good thing Grandma Sue saved them!

 

 

Most were too big but she found quite a few to dance around in!

 

 

There were some interesting accessories!

 

This one fit the best and she wore it the rest of the day.

 

She was not overly fond of the feathers!

 

She loves pictures with Cy.

 

Anything that was twirly or with a skirt was also a fave.

 

More feathers-she couldn't wait to take this one off!!!!!

She had so much fun!

They are all now in the playroom and she puts them on whenever she gets a chance!

Beef Expo 2016

We had a great weekend at the Iowa Beef Expo!

 

 

 

 

Peighton enjoyed sitting on the bales listening to her Ipod.

 

I think Preston's favorite part is digging in the bedding and having snacks.

 

 

We made lots of laps around the barn with Elsa.

 

 

Saturday was such great weather!

It was so nice to just have light jackets on and NO long underwear!

 

Peighton did a great job helping to take care of Elsa.

 

Elsa got to debut her new sparkly ear tag.

It's hard to see because she wouldn't lay her ears back, but she now wears a rhinestone ear tag.

 

Sunday was a bit chillier but still not too bad.

 

 

This picture is probably my favorite from the whole weekend.

Pretty sure she's getting some advice from one of her biggest fans.

 

Peighton showed Elsa like a boss.

 

Might be able to spot Elsa's new bling in this picture.

Peighton and I also found some new showing bling...we had to walk REALLY far to use the restroom and we happened to find fun stuff each time we went!!!!!

 

Someday I will be able to see Peighton over her heifer.

 

It doesn't matter what animal Peighton is showing, she is all business.

 

Another picture I love.

I see a whole lot of determination in this one.

 

Peighton did a great job setting Elsa up in the ring.

The judges came over and talked to her individually and she had no problem answering their questions and she may have even cracked a smile.

 

 

We took a quick picture afterwards.

She had a great time and is ready to do it again!



First Communion!

It's hard to believe she is old enough to make her First Communion.

But it happened.

 

 

 

It was a beautiful day!

 

Bubba cleans up pretty nice!

 

At a retreat a few weeks ago they each made a banner to hang on the pews we sat in.

She did a great job and we couldn't wait to celebrate afterwards!

 

Her whole class.

She has a great group of kids in her class.

 

Her wonderful teacher, Mrs. Cayton, came to see them all make their first communion.

 

Afterwards, we had brunch with everyone.

We had to take a few pictures before she was allowed to change!

 

Preston was already off playing so we left him out of the picture!

 

Peighton wore MY veil from when I was a little second grader making my own First Communion!

Thanks for saving it, Mom!
