So Proud of the Boys...
Well it's time to catch up on this little family blog but the truth is there's one thing going on in the Curtis household right now and that is FALCON BASKETBALL. It's been amazing to watch this group come as far as they have. For the 4 seniors on the team, they have been playing for Coach all 4 years of their high school career. The first year of varsity ball for the new program was exciting and seems so long ago. Now here we are 3 years later and they are an amazing team. We are so proud of their achievements this year and all that they have accomplished as Falcons. Congrats to the Falcon Hoops program. District Champs, Bi-District Champs, and Area Champs...Regional Quaterfinal game this Tuesday at 8:00pm in Commerce against Texarkana Pleasant Grove. Let's go boys. You can do it.

The Daddy Daughter Dance...Oh my word
Well I think these are the moments you think about as soon as you find out that you are having a baby girl. The nails...the hair...finding a dress. We were so excited to find out that our elementary school would be hosting a Daddy /Daughter dance for Valentine's Day. We have been talking about it for weeks.
We began with the dress. We had planned a dress shopping trip for the whole family about 2 weeks ago. Well a busy Saturday, a long wait at the Cheesecake Factory, and the king of the castle finding the best coaching slacks EVER didn't give Lil C' much time to choose a dress. Needless to say, she and I headed back last weekend to find her dress. I pretty much let her choose but definitely filtered the ones that we actually took to the dressing room. She tried on 4 and while looking fell in love with a pink purse. In true girl fashion, she decided that she needed a dress that would match the purse. Oh my word, I didn't realize that this started so young. So, I told her that we could go with the black and white dress that she tried on and add a little pink to it to match the bag. Shoes, bracelet, and a slight alteration from nana later she was ready to go. I actually scheduled a hair appointment for her just to help myself out. Lord have mercy, I didn't even realize a 5 year old could be affected by a hair do they didn't like. Her hair didn't look anything like the picture that I showed the stylist and when we left the salon she just cried and cried. Sounds a bit dramatic, but ya'll it did NOT look good. So after a little convincing that mommy could "fix it" and a promise of a loan on a pair of mommy's earrings, we were back on track. We were so happy with the end result and sorry to be impartial, but she looked Uhhh-mazing. As you can see from the pictures, she did not mind posing for the camera.

And with daddy... (The official event photo)
And best of all, I think the candids tell what kind of a time she had...
Not a whole lot of pictures with daddy from our camera since he was the one behind the camera, but I'm sure some will surface as the days progress. I know they had a great time and we look forward to many more.
On a side note...our Falcons clinched a playoff spot and will be District Champions with a win on this Tuesday night against Kaufman. We are so proud of our boys and coaches. This will be the school's first boys basketball playoff run and district title. Great game Falcons, keep it up.
