Raelee's Debut

Raelee's Debut

Raelee is so excited to be in cheerleading! She picks up on the cheers quickly and does the best cartwheel per her grandma Lyle (she couldn't possibly be bias!). You can judge for yourself and view this video, leave your comments and let Raelee know how well she did!



Growing up, my dream of a family was "country-fied"...farming with livestock, cowboy husband, "country-fied" children, very country living. I do live in the house set in the "country" with acreage and pond, no livestock; didn't marry a cowboy; and obviously my oldest isn't "country-fied". Actually Raelee is far from it!

Raelee is a social butterfly & loves fashion. Of course her favorite color is pink. She has to dress up to go to town, usually in a skirt and something pink. It took me a few weeks when she started school to get her out of skirts. Raelee is another momma to the other kids, thinks she is the boss a lot of the time, but she is a big help. Raelee is sweet, very energetic (likes to be on the go almost constantly unless she is asleep or very tired), and funny.

Raelee is the beginning of the chapter of supporting our kids' extracurricular activities. Isn't this where more fun begins??!! This is the time that we see (and hopefully teach) how Raelee reacts to opposition, disappointments, victories, and hardwork. Dear Lord, please give us the wisdom and patience to train up our beloved Raelee in your ways!!

So, do I want my dream to come true...thank you Lord for unanswered prayers and dreams!
