I couldn’t be prouder…Part 2

Amelia,

Girl, you have the biggest personality and you always keep us laughing. I love your silliness and couldn’t be prouder of you too! You’re in the middle of iReady testing right now and we just got the results back on your reading portion of the test. WOW!!!! You’re in kindergarten but your reading scores were on a 3rd grade level! Way to go girl!! We’ve been amazed at how well you are reading but those test scores show how hard you work on it. You love to read and now you’re reading to me instead of me reading to you!

Im so proud of you girl. Reading at a 3rd grade level is awesome and I’m really proud of you for that but it’s not the main thing. Im proud of your determination, your hard work, the effort you put into everything. You have read every book in the house multiple times. When you were younger you had some of them memorized and you would pretend to read😂. But now, there’s no pretending. Im often amazed at the words you can pronounce. Keep it up girl!

This is Ariel and Sebastian, from CHS Little Mermaid performance. You acted like you’d met the most famous people in the world😂❤️! You blushed and grinned when you got to talk to them at Audrey’s piano recital!

Couldn’t be more proud…

Audrey,

This past weekend, you competed in the Kentucky State Gymnastics competition and I couldn’t have been more proud of you! You gave your best and you cheered for your teammates like you were cheering for yourself. You were just as excited for Grace and your friends. That’s what made me even prouder of you! I can’t remember which event Grace got first place but I watched you smile from ear to ear for her and give her the biggest hug! You had so much joy for her.

A very important lesson in life is to celebrate other people’s accomplishments, to truly be happy for them. Keep being you Audrey because your mom and dad know that You are Awesome!!

Now, I’ll brag on you. You got First place on the trampoline, First place on the double mini, and Third place on your floor routine! That is amazing!!!! You have worked so hard and you have come so far!! The sky is the limit for you! What’s funny is your dad is learning more about these gymnastics competitions but I still don’t know much about how the scoring works. But, when I watched your trampoline performance, it looked perfect and I knew you had a chance to win. The same thing with the double mini. You stuck your landings perfect and I knew it was really really good. Way to go girl!

You are unbelievably talented and I know that you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. While I want time to slow down and savor these moments, I can’t wait to see all the things you accomplish in your life. Remember, always put God first, celebrate and cheer for others, and always give your best effort. You’ll win some and you’ll lose some, but as long as you give your best…that’s what matters most. I couldn’t have been prouder of you this weekend for the character you shown even if you had been in last place. Winning was just a little icing on the cake. Love you girl! Your daddy is so proud!

Watch your coach at the end😁❤️

But I can’t stop there…WOW…your piano recital! You were amazing again. Another proof that when you put your mind to it you can do anything. In such a short time, you’ve learned so much. You’re so talented! Your taking piano lessons now from my elementary school librarian, Mrs. Vance (Arnold). You have advanced really quickly even though you don’t practice as much as you should😉😂. I love you girl. Keep it up! You’re gonna do big things!
