Today, Mariah came home with more exciting news from school (which is what reminded me that I forgot about the math thing)! She has artwork chosen to be displayed at the Frist Center. It is a drawing of a polar bear cub. Mariah shows alot of dedication. She has been practicing polar bears for awhile now, and the one she did at school must be pretty awesome to be chosen. I was cleaning yesterday and found one she had sketched out on a canvas and was looking at it wondering if she was going to paint it or not. I can't wait to go see it! Check it out here: Frist Center
Honorable Mention is the latest sledding adventure. Gib and Mariah went off with Alec for some night time sledding. If anyone checked out the sledding videos, you will remember The Bowl. Well, there was a little pond off to the right... only this time the pond was ALOT bigger and deeper, and scummier. Mariah lost control of her sled, failed to bail when her foot got caught and she did the Titanic splash into the icy water. It was 24 degrees outside, so that had to have hurt! I think she was in shock because she didn't complain. I would have been complaining!! I didn't get any photos of her because she came in and went straight to the showers, so I got a picture of Gib instead.
Mariah and I went to her last Activity Days last night. She turns 12 on Friday!!! The YW did make-overs on the younger girls. Most of whom looked like they were being tortured. It was funny to watch. Mariah said she didn't really like being a Barbie Doll. So I started singing "Barbie Girl" and she shushed me. Wonder why. I think she's cute!
Mariah playing with the camera before school this morning!
Well, Mariah has to get back to her homework now!
It's rough sharing my computer all the time!

YEAH way to GO Mariah! That IS AWESOME! Math and Art, VERY well rounded you are. Yes, I agree she is stinkin' cute Chrissie. Happy Birthday on Friday!
YEEWHO, Riah! That is great! I love the pic of her with her Roxy beanie...such a teenager. C-U-T-E! :)
Congrats, Mariah!
She got it all, brains and beauty! What an awesome combo!
What a cute and smart girl you have! Be proud mom and dad!
COngrats to Mariah. And I like the pics...she's so cute.
Oh my GOODNESS!
Soon you're going to have a gorgeous girl on your hands that does the make up, the hair, and takes forever in the morning. She will suddenly learn to argue and realize certain words get her point across very nicely. Then, she's going to start noticing boys..and then acting on her noticing. And unfortunately, she's gonna get her young, optimistic, little heart broken (and look cute while it's happening). So then she's going to go a little bit feministic, but eventually go back to her ways. She'll fall for em all - And if she's lucky, she won't pick the scum bags.
....Good luck.
