I picked up 25 tickets for Hayley’s basketball team and families to go to the UNC-Duke women basketball game at the Dean Dome. Most of the girls were UNC fans but one was a serious Duke fan, bless her heart. Everyone had a great time, cheering and running around. And of course, UNC won!
(The Storm is 10-1 heading into the last weekend of the regular season and already has the top seed the playoffs locked up, which gives them a bye for the opening round! But they’ve got some injuries to deal with so who knows what’ll happen.)

Hi to my friends and family. I am doing a Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser for The American Heart Association. I am doing this b/c our principal Ms Willard had a heart attack and I want to help raise money in honor. She means a lot to us. I have other family members too who have had heart problems and this is for them too.
Can you please help me raise donations to help out? You can donate online here: My Jump Rope for Heart donation page or you can send my Mom a check.
Thanks for your help!

Hayley competed at her first real big horse show – big meaning not at a local stable. This was at the Hunt Horse Complex on the State Fairgrounds in Raleigh. She rode in three events: WT 9 & 10 Equitation, Academy Showmanship 9 & 10 WT and Command Class 9 & 10 WT. Our neighbors Jen came with Mason and my parents came so she had a big cheering squad.
The first one were tough, her first time in the big ring with a lot of noise and her horse wasn’t super happy to be there either. By the second event, Hayley was feeling better and did well but it was a challenging group to be in. However by the third event, she switched horses to one she’d rode a great deal more and they practiced a bit during the break. Bam – she came out and WON the Command Class 9 & 10 year olds, Walk Trot. I think she did well also because you get to be more creative there and move the horse more.
So she picked up a Blue Ribbon in her first real horse show and we are so proud of her!

We’ve been so busy with work, school and activities lately that I haven’t had a chance to post much of anything but I wanted to post these two quick small versions of photos. I’ll post them bigger and with lots more soon I promise.
