Ready for the opening.

Well Saturday was the big Dance Recital day. What a long day it was. Makenna had baseball at 10:00 and off to the recital by 12:00. She did a great job and was a trooper through the whole thing. We didn't quite make it to the closing number though because Cami was at her limit. We were so proud of Makenna. Thanks to Nana, Mamaw and Papaw for coming to support Makenna!

Girl with attitude - ready to play!

The second season of Miracle League started last Saturday. Come on out and enjoy a game this season. Games are Saturdays at 10:00 and 11:30 at the Miracle League Field, right behind Starlight. If you have little ones make time to visit Starlight's playground. It is very accessible and great for little children. Makenna is on the Halos team this year. Her Uncle Jimmy is the coach, Matthew her cousin is assistant coach and Jack her other cousin is her helper. Thanks McLendon family for supporting such a great League for children with disabilities. Thank you to the Garber Family who always come out and show their support! Hope to see all of you at the ball park this year :0)

First Holy Communion

Makenna made her First Communion today along with 30 other second grade students. She did a fantastic job. We were so proud of her. She is growing up fast all of a sudden.

Swimming Lessons!

Makenna waiting her turn. What a gorgeous girl!!

Making sure her ears are plugged.

I love this mama!

Splashing is fun!

We started swimming lessons Sunday at the Fieldhouse. Cami is participating in Water Babies with my help :0) and this is Makenna's first group session. Cami's lesson was first. She learned to kick her legs on her belly and her back. She was so funny - she put her fingers in her ears when she was on her back to keep the water out. She also learned to hold her breathe and go under. She was a bit frightened at the beginning of the lesson but adjusted quickly. I think having her friends, Ty and Maddie, join us for lessons helped. Ty taught Cami how to splash the water and she loved that! Makenna was sitting with Jay watching Cami's lesson and she looked over at him and told him, "I am not swimming by myself, I did that when I was eight." I think the dunking of the babies made her a little nervous for her turn! She did great though. She got right in and followed the directions. She worked on floating (Makenna's toughest skill), blowing bubbles, kicking with a kick board, going under and walking around the shallow end. She even jumped off the side only holding one hand! Great job girls - can't wait for next week.

Egg Hunt

Happy Easter Everyone! Our day started early. We actually made it to church by 7:30 am!!!!! Came home prepared the ham and tidied the house. Our family came over for a fantastic lunch and then it was time for the Easter Egg Hunt. All the cousins participated (age 16 mos. to 18 yrs.) and had a great time. Makenna couldn't wait to get started and found most of her eggs by herself. Cami had a great start, until one of the eggs popped open and she discovered the candy. That was the end of the hunt for her she wanted the candy paper and all! Both my girls love their chocolate (they get that from their dad!) The rest of the kids were busy counting their cash but the two Susil girls were all about eatting as much candy as they could before Mommy called it quits for the day :0)

Little Miss Independent, Finally

Makenna was losing her patience waiting for me so decided to take matters into her own hands. She wanted to watch a DVD and the player sits really high on a shelf that she can't reach. Since I was taking so long she went to the kitchen and drug a chair through the dining room into her play room, climbed up and started the DVD all by herself. She has also finally accomplished getting her own cup from the cupboard and pouring a glass of water from the pitcher in the fridge and getting into and out of the car and buckling her self into her booster seat. I forget if I mention I am also no longer allowed to put her to bed, she likes to do that by herself too!
