Thursday's Chaos!!

 So today after Grace's first Basketball practice instead of Try outs... we had a full night... She got out at 5 and we had to be at the High school by 5:30 so we ran by my sweet hairdressers and washed her hair and let her change there.  It was Awesome!  Then off the the Spring Choir Concert!

 Grace's poor mouth she is hurting more now than yesterday.

 They did Awesome!

After the concert we went for food and then finally home... late with Homework still on the agenda! 

Kacey had decorated the house for Grace!

She was over the Moon excited!

 She was mad we didn't leave it!  :)  Momma does Chaos but it has to be organized Chaos or I can not take it!

 Kacey did Awesome!

 Kacey even had goodies on her bed!  Such a sweet sister!

So proud of our singing, basketball playing puffy check girl!

State Technology Competition! Grace

 Friday after work, Greg, Kacey and Grace and I headed to Montgomery for State Technology Competition.  Grace won Second in North Alabama Region with Emma so they qualified for State.  What a fun experience.  I'm so glad the Lord has blessed this sweet girl with opportunities he has.

The weather held for us to get there Rain free.... thank you Lord!  :)

WE got there around 8 and by 8:15 she had found her friends at the pool.  Kacey went for oh about 10 minutes...  she enjoyed the hot tub on her sore muscles but she was not loving being the only one about 12 there so she went back to the room with her Daddy!  When Grace and I went up to the room at 10:30 they were both in the beds asleep...  I think our pace is catching up with some Narrells!

First of all the above pictures does not make my heart happy their are boys in that picture!  eeekkkkk!

 The picture below was of some of the girls and the boys went under water for it.... I think it is a good sign they still don't want their pictures made together. 

 The competition was Saturday morning at the University of Auburn's Montgomery campus.

She and Emma did great.  Their category was the largest one there. 

 Being judged.

 After they were judged Grace and I hung around inside for awhile and then we were ready for some lunch so we went looking for our other half and we found them like this in a grove of trees...  Peaceful!

 Grace wanted to enjoy for awhile!

 Grace and a few of her sweet friends.

 After we ate we came back and still had a couple of hours before the closing program.  We found a pond and shade trees to hang out under.  Greg and Grace got in chairs and read and Kacey and I got on a blanket on the ground and slept.... Heavenly!

 Kacey kept eyeing the tennis courts!

 After the closing we headed back to the Grove!  Union Grove that is with a pit stop at Peach Park!

We got home around 8 and we were ready for some home time!

We are loving life but still find we are more than a little tired.  :)  

Busy week ahead the Narrell's could use your prayers!

Just Another day in Paradise!

4-H County Round up!

 I took off today and spent the day with Grace at the 4-H County Round up!

I'm sure work is beginning to wonder if I'm ever coming back!  :)

Grace placed second in the 15 dollar challenge!

 Receiving her Award!

 After she was judged we left and went to the orthodontist.  She had spacers put in.  

Then we hit CiCi's before the soreness set it!  

Macaroni Pizza makes her a happy girl.  Well, that and the cinnamon rolls and brownies!

 Again, my pictures are all out of whack.... oh well!  I've learned to embrace being different! 

During judging.... parents aren't allowed to be in the room.  The challenge is to buy and outfit for under 15 dollars.  and document where and how much you spend.  Shoes and accessories are not part of the challenge but Grace spent 2.00 on the dress.  She and her Dad bought it at TESA!  Good choice Dad!  We bought the shoes for $5 at Plato's closet and the earrings were 1.25 at TESA!  So her entire outfit was only $8.25 but she only had to claim $2 of it!  She was a happy girl! 

Congratulations sweet Girl!
