Today is the BIG Day! Kylan's 7th Birthday! It is amazing to think back over all the wonderful memories I have stored up. She has been a blessing in my life and I love her so much. Our plan is to go to dinner tonight. I asked her what she wanted and she wants Hooter's, how funny is that. I ordered her a cookie cake with palm trees, just like she wanted and now we just have to open presents, and hear the story of the day she was born, a tradition Kylan has loved since she was little.
Happy Birthday! Tootie Mommy loves you more than anything in the world!

Competition Results!
Well we made it back from the beach, unfortunately. Wish we could have just stayed from then on. But we had a great time and loved every wonderful second with my baby girl. Thursday at competition the girls won 2 Platinum Awards, and a 3rd place for Little Shop of Horrors (jazz) and a 5th place for I've got the music in me (clogging) we were shocked by that, but one of the judges really liked movie and show tunes. Imagine that? Kylan got to go get the awards and she enjoyed that because she got to talk on the microphone and say her name and what studio she was with, she did a super job!
The rest of our trip was spent playing at the beach, the pool, shopping, eating seafood, and visiting a carnival that was at Pier Park. Kylan played on the beach with Darcy(11), Chloe(10), and Amber(9) every day and that was really fun for her. They are all older and in the next class up so she she thought she was something special because she was playing with the big girls! It's funny how the little things matter to them so much. We had fun but we are glad we have a break from dance for a while, you need some down time to be away and enjoy the summer.
The next big thing on our calendar is Kylan's 7th birthday tomorrow! It is hard to believe she has been here that long. I can remember it like yesterday the day she arrived. It was by far the best day of my life and I cherish her everyday. You know what people say is true, after children have been here long enough you forget what you used to do for fun, and what your life was like before you had them. It is so true! I don't really remember a ton about my life before her, granted I remember big events, trips, special occasions and so on, but actual day to day life is all a blurr......... Thank Heaven for Little Girls!

Off we GO!
Well today is the BIG day we are headed to the beach for National Competition! We are so very excited. Kylan helped me pick out her clothes last night and even packed a jewelry bag! It was so cute to watch her accessorize everything. We did some early shopping and bought her all the snacks and drinks she likes yesterday, so we are ready. It has been so long since we have been to the beach together for more than just a long weekend. I am just as excited as she is! Noon can not get here fast enough! I hope you all have a great rest of the week! We are going to try but being at the beach makes it easy. I will post there resluts when we get back.

Rainy Weekend for Us!
Well the weekend started off Rainy! Friday we were supposed to head up to Locust Fork for a swimming/slide party for the dance team, but that was quickly out when the bottom fell out raining on Friday evening. Then our tv show was interrupted with weather reports.(Kylans hates that more than anything) Shortly after the power went out at 8:00pm. We went to the basement and I took the top down on the car and we listened to the weather on the radio, but that did not satisfiy Kylan. She tends to really get very upset during storms. I told her we could go upsatirs and she finally belived me. We tried playing her DS but she had left it on the last time she had played it and the battery was dead. So she threw her hands up and said let's just go to bed.
Saturday didn't start much better. I woke up around 6:30 am to no power still, and decided to take advantage of the rain and dark and we slept till 9:00 am. Breakfast was simple cereal so we could use the new milk, before I had to throw it away. ( I had to throw away so many frozen things, it is such a shame) Then we went to Momma's to use her power to do our hair and make-up, because we had a dance team party at Sassy and Sweet in Hoover. It was so cool, they took the girls and asked them questions about themselves, then they each sat in these big chairs and got the hair, make-up and nails done, then they had a fashion show where they walked down a runway where the mc discussed the question she had previously asked them and were presented a Hawaiian lay. They were to cute.
Kylan decided to go to see her daddy on Saturday since we will be at the beach next weekend for competition, so I had the evening to myself. I went to Stix in Gardendale with friends for a birthday party, and over to Home Field Bar and Grill. For any one who does not know it is a super classy place! (Yeah Right!) When we all walked in you would have thought we had the plague by the way everybody stared at us. But we were over dressed in our heels, and capris, but we had a super fun time, people watching, and dancing!
Sunday after noon Kylan came home and we went to Justice her favorite store and she spent her gift cards and did some retail therapy. It is so much fun to watch her shop and put outfits together, she has such opinions on what looks good together and how she wants to dress. She did pick out a cute outfit skirt and shirt for the beach and even bought accessories to go with it. And wore it when we got home for dinner at the house with Peeps and Ya-Ya, for Peeps birthday party. It was just the 4 of us but she felt great in her new purchase! It was a fun relaxing night with family, the way Sundays! Should be.

We are Soooo EXCITED!!!!
We are so EXCITED about a few things. First we are are so EXCITED about going to the beach next week. We are leaving Wednesday afternoon, heading to Panama City for our National Dance Competition. Kylan can't wait to compete and play on the beach with her classmates at the pool and on the beach. She is just beside herself. We bought her little dance friend a congratulatory gift for her solo competition and Kylan is excited to knock on her door, leave it, and hide so she can watch her be surprised. Little Girls are so awesome!
Secondly, last night at High Fly Kylan had a GREAT night! She worked really hard on her backhand spring and she was doing it into the bit by herself. (Which was nothing new for her) but she asked Mr. Patrick to watch and he did, then he told her to just do it on the tumble track by herself, and she did. OMG!!!!(Oh my God) I was a nervous wreck. I could not believe she was going to do it. He took her down onto the regular gym floor and spoted her with just one finger on her back, and she did it several times. I was so proud of her. I am always proud of her but seeing the excitment and the pleasure on her face because she was pround of herself made it the most wonderful feeling in the world.
After such excitment we had a lazy evening at home. Kylan was tired and we had to finish the cute flip flops we are working on for dance class gifts. Thank goodness those things are done! I thought I had bit off more than I could chew, but I finally completed them and they are precious. Until next time have a great Wednesday Hump Day!

Wonderful Weekend!
Well it was another sunny, fun filled weekend! We headed back up to the lake, where we rode the boat, swam, hung out with friends, and cooked out, it was a blast! Kylan loved it, she was the center of attention as usual. We carried Rosie and Isabell and they were as much in heaven as we were. It was so cute to see them play and explore. We did start the weekend and finished it with competition dance practice. The girls are so ready to head off to compete in Florida next week, and so am I. I can't decide if they are excited about the competion aspect of the trip or being in the same condo complex and being able to play with one another. I think it is the second of the two myself. I will be glad to get away also, I need some sun and relaxing in the sand. Hope you all have a blessed and wonderful work week!

Another Milestone for the Robertson Girls!
Well I have to say we are growing up. Yesterday afternoon Kylan lost one of her top front teeth. Granted this is not our first time to loose a tooth but the two front teeth are the important ones, or so I have been told. With her missing the 2 on the bottom , and now this one, she is Snaggle Tooth Tootie! Her tooth had been loose for weeks and she has been holding on to it, but she finally let it go last night and she did it her self. This was the first one I did not have to pull. And yes I did take pictures, but my internet at home is not working so, the picts. will come later. We will have to see what the Tooth Fairy thought of our tooth.
We ate dinner with my momma last night and it was wonderful! Homemade meat loaf, black eyed peas, cooked carrots, corn sticks, mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy, and chocolate drizzle cake! A true southern home cooked meal. It was Wonderful! Thanks Momma!
I have to say I learned alot last night about priority as a parent. Never underestimate the power of presuasion. I had big plans for this weekend myself, because Kyaln would be at her dad's, but that all changed, due to a supposed spur of the moment trip! But some of us can read between the lines much better than others. If you know what I mean! It can't be spur of the moment it you have appointments planned and the weekend before you make a big deal about when you are actually supposed to have your baby. So, so much for my weekend away from it all. But that is ok, I wouldn't trade being with my precious baby girl for the world! There is nothing more important to me than Kylan and making her happy! It is amazing as real mothers what we will do for the true love of our child! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend full of sun and fun!

A Fun Evening with Friends!
Well yesterday afternoon was full and fun filled. When I got off at 4:00 I hurried to pick Kylan up at Mee-Maw's then run by the house to change clothes, freshen-up, feed, and let the pups out, pack an overnight bag and off again. We were running over to a friends house who sells her daughter's clothes in what she calls Bitsy's Boutique. Bitsy has a daughter, Ree who has the cutest clothes, and Bitsy sells them when Ree grows out of them. They are some of the cutest things! Justice, Limited too, boutique clothing, and who could forget to mention High Fly stuff. It is like being in little girl heaven and because Kylan has taken such a height and foot growth spurt she was finally able to get shoes. I think we bought almost every pair of flip flops she had, we enen got a pair of brand new Nike's for $4.00. I ended up spending $190.00 and when I got home and looked over everything, and guess-timated I had about $2000.00 worth of (some new)/used clothes. Thank goodness for good friends, with daughters near our size, who have great taste!
When we finished there it was off to pick up Ya-Ya, and head to Gadsden for Huston's 16th Birthday Party. Huston is my friend Jeanne's son. We have been hiding his Black Mustang at our house for 2 weeks so we had to see his face when he got it. It was priceless, because we took the top down on my car and put a huge Auburn bow on it. So he thought at first he was getting a lime green convertible, doodlebug! Bless his heart, then they revealed the real car! I remember when I got my first car! And how excited I was, those are memories you cherish for a lifetime. (Thanks to great parents!)
After a great dinner we headed back to Truss-Vegas but not before one last stop. i.e. the overnight bag. I had to drop Kylan off at the BP in Clay, so she could spend the night with cousins Lori and Hailey. They are playing together all day today with each other and Debbie/MeeMee (Lori's mom) So I am assuming Kylan is going to sleep well tonight! She was already tired before we dropped her off. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday! It looks like we are going to have another beautiful sunny weekend to look forward to, I know we are! I am so lucky to have the best little girl in the world I can't wait to pick her up this afternoon!!!!!!!
