Easter Bunny and Egg Hunt

Easter Bunny came make visits in the middle of the day!  Did you know that!!??  

Such a great bunny to deal with our hectic schedule!  

 After the Easter Bunny left we got to have a little egg hunt.  The kids wanted an egg hunt so bad and they didn't have one at school so we did it at home...  Is it bad that TJ ate half the candy :)

 We were THRILLED Miss Beth and Miss Tammie came from California and arrived just in time for the egg hunt!

EGGS!!!

Yeah we did it!!!  We dyed eggs for the first time ever!  I'm a little COD about messes and I just have not had the guts to try this out on my own.  We we kind of in a round about way invited ourselves to some friends house.  They were very experienced and knew what was going on. It was a success and I will not fear doing it on my own next year!  It was a fun way to begin the Easter weekend! 

CCA Nationals- Day 3

Last day at Nationals... each squad got to perform their routine again and the scores are averaged together.  Karoline's squad was amazing and was even better than the day before!  They won 1st place in their division, Mini Level 1!  Level 1 means no back hand springs.  The levels show what level of tumbling is allowed.  Not only did they win that but they were GRAND CHAMPS of ALL Level 1 squads including beating some youth and junior teams!!  So proud of these girls!!  

Our senior squad won Senior Level 2 (they can do back hand springs and tucks)  AND they won GRAND CHAMPS of ALL the All Star squads!  That is HUGE!  We were so proud!!

Nationals was a great experience and I feel so blessed that Karoline has been able to experience all she has this year!  We have a few more competitions left!  We love MBA! 

So this is what a make up assembly line looks like :)

Great natural lighting... I took advantage to get some cute pics of my girl! 

Sweet friend Reese!

Karoline and Trinity!  They are a mess! :)

Our coaches did an exhibition for everyone and WOW... they were AMAZING!!  God a standing ovation from the whole place!!  All the kids were amazed and loved watching!

CCA Nationals Day 2

Day 2!  After a great breakfast (we loved our hotel!)  The mini squad didn't perform until 8:30PM so we had quite a bit of time to kill!  We headed to watch members of our group preform some solo's and duo's, watched the youth squad, and the senior squad.  I had to add this picture of our senior squad.  The guy, Buck, is holding up his sister, Emma Kate... they are our coaches youngest children!  The seniors did an AMAZING job! 

Another late night (an hour and a half past her normal bedtime!) performance... But nailed it!!  

Karoline is not in this picture but this is her favorite part of the routine... "Call me maybe"

The dance...

She loves the dance...

After their awesome performance Karoline and some other teammates were awarded for their superior academic performance in school!  She was so excited!
