The Bottjens

Looks like we had a busy month…I have a ton of pics to share! The girls had another cheer clinic this time with the UAFS dance team. They got to perform at the basketball game after practice. It was a lot of fun! We made a trip to Nashville for Valentine’s day so the girls could have some quality time with the gparents and cousins. They had a ball and Jim and I enjoyed the horse races 🙂 The baby of our group, Miss Makenna, turned one this month so we got to celebrate at her house. She is a doll! Then a beautiful snow came to FS, and the girls enjoyed that! Even Rozi had fun!

Enjoy the pics!

We have had a pretty good month other than Averi getting the flu! Luckily no one else got it. The girls did a cheer clinic at Southside with the cheerleaders and Dixie Belles. They really had fun especially Sydni. She has been asking to switch to tumbling instead of gymnastics at Flame so I went ahead and let her do that this month. I want to encourage any kind of exercise and sports so I have been gung ho. I hope she sticks with it 🙂 Averi could care less and was more interested in playing with the cheerleaders. But she sure looked cute doing it! 🙂 We also went to Loghan’s birthday party this month. I can’t believe shes already 3 years old! Amazing how quickly time has gone…shes a doll! Happy Bday Loghs!

I made up for pics last month in this month! We had a super busy December with lots of Christmas celebrations. We made a quick trip to Branson as a fam with GranGran to do some shopping. The girls participated in the Christmas play at church where Averi got to sing a sweet little solo! My girls never cease to amaze me with their confidence and beauty. We visited Santa at ABF and then of course more Christmas parties at school. We had a great 2012 and look forward to an even better 2013!

Hello everyone! I don’t have many pictures this month. We have been too busy for pics if you can believe that! The weather this month has been amazing so I got some cute ones of the girls out and about in the neighborhood and of course our weekly church pics. See yall next month!

We had a big halloween week! First we went to Trunk or Treat at Grace. The girls had a great time! There were so many things for them to see and do…and of course lots of candy! Then on the big day they had a parade at school, got to ToT at ABF then MORE ToTing that night. They are both at such a great age to enjoy this holiday….even though Averi gave out at the opposite end of our neighborhood, and I ended up carrying the dog AND her! We had fun though 🙂

Do you ever have one of those months where you are so busy that everything seems to pass by in a blur? Well, welcome to our October! We had birthdays throughout the month. October is popular around here! Then keeping up with dance and gym along with cheer. The girls also go to participate in a dance clinic at the local high school with the Southside Dixie Belles. They had a ball! We are gearing up for some serious trick or treating this week too! I am almost as excited as the girls to get their costumes on. Well, ok maybe not, they are REALLLLLY excited!

September was a fun month for us! Not so much for the Hogs….there are lots of pics from Razorback weekends. Jim and Sydni got to go to a game (the one we have actually won!) and Matt’s crew along with Aunt Sue came up for the AL game weekend. Mom and Hix came in right in time for the Rutgers game too. The girls are doing great in school! And Sydni has started up cheer this month so we have been staying really busy!

Enjoy the pics!
