And More Pictures...

Nikki made a very yummy cake today and decorated it herself, didn't she do an awesome job?

This is Jess and Nikki's little dancers the night of their performance. Aren't they so cute!

Eli at wrestling practice, just look at him go!


We went bowling for a school activity and the lady in the middle is their teacher Ms. Sandy.

Landscaping Day! Cody rented a Bobcat and even let me try it out. Now we have a wonderful dustbowl that I am sure our neighbors are cursing us for, and nice soil for weeds.


Eli with his friend Garrett and Trevor...the 3 amigos

We have pictures!!!

These are pictures of Jessica's Dance Competition.

Top 50

Jessica tried out yesterday for "Pueblo's Got Talent". It was an audition to see if you could make it to the top 50 and be seen in front of a talent scout and a previous member of American Idol(they will be judging the simi-finals and the finals).We got up early and were to the mall to stand in line at 7:30am. We thought that there would be people in line ahead of us, but we were the very 1st ones there. We had even brought camp chairs, games and food...thinking we would have to wait for 4+ hours in line. No one else showed up until about 8am and the sound system people didn't even show up until about 8:15. Because we were the 1st in line they let us choose where at in line we wanted to be and we didn't want to be first so we chose to be 15th. In the end, there were over 100 people that tried out. Then we took off to go have some breakfast at Denny's Resturant with Jessica's dance teacher/owner, her daughter and another friend from dance named Dawn who also was going to dance. We made it back as they were on about #8, and just had enought time to dress, do hair and makeup and stand in line for 10 min. before auditioning. She did awesome like always. Well, you always wish the best for your children and so I hoped she would make it to the top 50 simi-finalists, but knowing that no matter what it was just good experience. Well, last night while Cody and I were chaparoning a youth dance I got the call to tell us she had made it to the top 50....YEAH we are all so excited! She will now perform again on Friday night in front of the above noted judges plus two of the same ones that judged yesterday. Wish her luck!

Still Waiting....

Sorry we haven't gotten any pictures up yet. We have just had computer problem after problem. We finally got the computer up and going that Cody had gotten from the AFA when he left, but it uses a different opporating system then Microsoft and not everything is wanting to trasfer, we are hoping to figure things out sooner than later, but for us who are not computer savvy, I will say it will probably be later.
So even without pictures, here is what has been happening at the Fowler home. Two weeks ago on Feb. 17th, Jessica participated in a dance competition and did very well. She received 1st place in her age group, 5th overall and not only that but she was one of 10 chosen to go to Nationals in Branson, MO and participate in a Top Stars performance group with kids from around the country. So we will be off to Branson in July and are very excited.
Eli finally got his nickname for wrestling...it is a big deal to him so I will share. His new name is Tiger. It is such a fitting name since that is what they call the leutinents after they pass their first check ride at Cody's work too. It is also the dirivitive of a family name, and also because that is the nickname of the state champion from last year.
Jess and Nikki finished their 1st session of teaching dance last night with a wonderful recital by all the girls. They did a jazz dance, ballet dance and a three solo's. Each of the girls received a flower from their parents and they even gave some to Jess and Nikki, it was so fun! The girls are going to do another 6 week session starting in April. We had to take March off because I have way too much to do.
Well, that is about it. I really hope to get up some pictures up soon, it is driving me crazy that you can't see all these wonderful things.
