Kayden and I went to one of Shalies volleyball games. She is in the 6th grade this year so she has intramural games. Shalie and the other 6th graders in her school are being taught how to play and then practicing by dividing up the kids into teams and then playing against each other.

Shalie is in the back getting ready to serve the ball.
Getting ready to hit the ball.

Just looking cute!

Kelly just hanging out in his office learning the forex. Kelly made us take these pics so he could send them to one of his friends for fun and I just couldn't resist putting them on the blog.

Shalie had a party for her 11th birthday. She had a bunch of her friends over and played games. Here Maddie is trying to get the penny out of the plate of flour, using only her mouth while Chelsea and Kylee watch.
Shalie is trying to cut a piece of the flour cake that the penny is on with out making the penny fall. When you make the penny fall you have to get it out with your mouth.

UH-OH! Shalie had to dig it out with her mouth. What a pretty picture! It was a lot of fun for all the girls especially at this age when looks are becoming so important. They would all laugh and tease when someone made the penny fall.

Shalie and her friends!

Shaleice had her 14th birthday and decided to go to the waterpark with some friends then she came home and we all celebrated with cake and ice cream. I can't believe she is getting so big. (sigh)

This captures Shaleice perfectly she is alway goofing around and is very easy going. (Sometimes too easy going for mom.)
