Peyton: Field Trip & Tail Gator

Peyton had a fun Friday! She and her fellow 4th graders spent the day at the Peel Mansion where they learned about "Life as a Pioneer". I wasn't able to go, thank you Angela for getting these great photos!
Friday evening we went to the Tail Gator (school fundraiser). I think her favorite part was the Trampoline:

And, being with her friends:

Cotillion Kick-Off 2010

Tonight was the first night of Cotillion for 2010. Mackenzie and friends started the night at Shogun for dinner. They were great, we even got a compliment on their good behavior from someone at the neighboring grill.

Who doesn't love a good volcano?
Kendra drove the girls and I drove the boys from Shogun to Cotillion (very different for this Mom of girls!). I was under strict instructions to not speak, she was afraid I might say something to embarrass her.

I think it's crazy how grown up they looked compared to when they started in 2008/6th grade.

Lots and Lots of Great Strides

Our Great Strides to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation was held on Saturday, August 28th. The event raised $80,000+ (goal was $75k). Woo hoo! Just when I think our friends can't possibly be even more amazing - they are! Thanks to all for your donations, support and time! Thank you for loving my girl!
