Arden did so well and never showed any signs of being nervous. She made it back to the top 20 (32 LOL) and we were all so proud of her. As soon as we got back to the truck to change her clothes, she asked if she could do it again next year! Hearing that made it all worth it...all of it.

Today Arden turned 7 years old. I have no idea where time goes. She had her first soccer game of the season this morning. She did a great job playing defense (#8) and Channing loved being able to run around Pistole Park. We came home and had cupcakes, opened presents and watched UT get beat...:(.

So we picked this one up last week in the Murfreesboro at Dick's sporting goods. They were on sale for $9.99! Of course, we got pink, and I took it by Kathy's yesterday to get it monogrammed!

All animals! She thinks she can go right up to them and "give them love", even if they do not reciprocate! Our dogs are no different.

We nap, watch TV, play outside and usually I work on homework. This Sunday was no different. We got home and I told Arden to go change her clothes and hang up her dress.
