Paisley's first Tumbling Show...

Jolley's Gymnastics is so great.  Paisley has learned so much this year so far.  Their motto is, "I Can Do Hard Things."  She is pushed hard.  No time is wasted, they are organized.  I love it.  Worth every penny spent on her there!

Gotta get a picture of the hair, since it took an hour to do!

Sitting and waiting to start...

Warming up...

So proud of herself with that little smirk.

She decided to go back into her back bend early without the teachers help...show off.

And let the music begin!

Back bend...

Lift the leg...

And kick over!

Cartwheels!

Ending pose.

They were awarded a cute certificate and a bracelet that says, "I can do hard things!"

Her 2 "besties" came to watch and cheer her on.  What good friends she has.

Grandma is always there to support her as well.  I LOVE THIS PICTURE!  How she is cupping Noahs head while she hugs Paisley, Paisley hugs grandma, and Noah hugs Paisley.  Lots of love.

So proud of you Paisley!  Great job on your first ever Gymnastics performance!  We all loved every minute of it!

Ask me about this whole thing:  WAY OVER PRICED!

Ask Paisley and Noah:  SO MUCH FUN!

So I guess that is what matters, as long as the kids liked it.  But truly, quite a big let down.  They could do so much better.  I could have especially gone with out the 10 yr. old off key choirs screaming in the microphone the Christmas carols, and the hot water...I mean chocolate that Paisley kept saying, "I can't taste it Mom!" lol.  Santa was good though.

7 months old is SOOO BIG!

Unfortunately the camera was sitting on the chair and her "so big" hands are cut out, but you get the drift.  Today she was dancing moving her little tush around while Paisley was singing, "I want a Hippopotumus for Christmas".  She also "goes crazy" shaking her head around fast.  Love her cute new tricks. 

 7 months old and oh so fun!

Tea Time at the Grand America...

A fancy night out with the girls at the Grand America for tea (well, Coconut Almond Hot Chocolate).  Fancy foods, sweet treats, and great conversation is just what I needed for a little rejuvenation from a long week of being at home with sick kids!

 Seriously, best hot chocolate...ummm...

 Our little model.  She is so hip.

 I love each of these ladies oh so much!

The night didn't end there, we had a fabulous time doing some shopping, ending the night with a good Diet Coke.  Good fun night ladies, I love you all dearly and LOOVE that we have these fun nights out together!

Thanksgiving 2011

This year, at the Hemming Household, we had a fabulous Thanksgiving.  First we all got some family Christmas Card pictures taken of each other.
