The Waldron Family

YAY! SANTA CAME!!!!!!! He brought fish... And UGGs... And presents to rip open.... And a shopping cart with a creepy baby in it. we're still not too sure about the baby.

It's a bit blurry, but here's the second stunt. Austyn ends up looking up a lot on these ones. Part two of the pyramid. Jumpin Jehosephat! (I don't know. What would you have put?) Girl, you own that stage! Make it your Be-yoch! James Brown would be proud! (she's shaking her money maker, get it?) I don't know, seeing those ribs makes me want to get some Dinosaur if ya know what I mean. You'd think we never feed the girl.

Austyn had her second competition in Richmond this morning and i figured out how to shoot more action photos. Basically i used the sports setting on the camera and turned off the view screen so it takes them a bit faster. Here's her first stunt group. OOH, Fierce! Cheer Face! This is her flyer. they did much better this time. I caught a fish that was THIIIS Big! Work it Girls! Tyra Banks ain't got nothing on these girls! (that's another Fierce referrence for all you non-America's Next Top Model viewers out there). Oh yeah, they got Grand Champions again. Now it's going to totally go to her head.

Here is a video of one of Austyn's performances. She is usually in the second stunt team from right. She is a backspot. During the dance portion Austyn is in the middle. Good luck spotting her.

yup. Brother and sister love each other. Peace on earth and jumping for joy! Please pay no attention to Kim's casual racism or the fact that we are listening to Christina Aguilera (the girl's got some pipes!).

MMMMMMM. LoMein. I open wide for that. What this now? You say is shrimp? Mmmmmm. Yummy! Hey Mama, what you gots over there? Is that sushi? Hey, Sis, what happened to feeding little brother? You slacking. Job well done. MSG is my friend.

Austyn is on two squads for Dream Allstars. So they had their first competition this weekend in Baltimore. Her first squad is Vision and they are level 1 which means no back handsprings, just cartwheels and back walkovers. her second and main squad is Revelation and they are level 2, which means everyone has a round-off back handspring and a standing back handspring. So, both her teams competed in their respective level fields, which includes minis, juniors (Austyn), and seniors, then there are also small, medium and large of Minis, juniors and seniors. So, what Grand champion of each respective level means, is that they had the high score of all teams that participated in that level. Each level had at least 20 teams, so this is a big deal. I got a film of her performance, but it's hard to see where she is, except for she has so much hair. Here's some pictures that didn't turn out that good. Mostly i wanted to see the makeup so we can recreate it next week. I messed with th...

Mommy, why you put me on this strange man's lap? Could be Michael Jackson hiding under there. Bryce did very well with Santa this year. He was very serious, but excited. He waved to Santa while we came up and was very interested in the goings on, never really looked too worried, just serious. gotta say the scanner is really paying for itsself. It's highway robbery what they charge for a disc with the pictures on it, for what it really costs them. we went with the 14 dollar 5x7 and scanned it. I'm afraid to mail it to people because of the virus i caught that sent junk to everyone in my mailbox. But i will when i'm sure that's all taken care of. Ciao Santa!

Yes, you guessed it, it was Austyn, sporting the lovely blue and white (Dream Allstars colors) braces, and..... Luke, sporting the lovely antlers and refusing to look up for the camera.

Time to tromp out in the field and kill us a nice Christmas tree. Hmmm. Decisions decisions. Eenie Meenie miney ..... Mo! Hey, this looks like a nice one. We employed our patented "pet" technique, where Austyn and Kim pet the tree to make sure it's nice and soft and not prickly. Before, all happy and frolicking it the field.... And after, about to be tied to the car. Bryce weeps for the tree that so selflessly gave it's life that we might celebrate with a Joyex Noel. You lived well, young tree, exchanging carbon dioxide for oxygen that we might all breath easier. Your sacrifice will not be in vain.

Who's little footprint is that? Mommy, what's this white stuff on your car? It's cold and tastes great. Walking in a winter wonderland? Nah, too cliched. Though i do like the way that the snow shows up with the flash. This is our one neighbor who has a display in the neighborhood. Everyone else is bah humbug. You know it! Bryce has wonderful penmanship, doesn't he?

Ok, Lets get the kids together for a nice family portrait. No, that's not quite what i had in mind. let's try again. Well, Lilly is there now, but still not really workin for me. Let's try again. Ok, we have everyone here now, lets all say cheese. That's cheesy, but still not what we had in mind. Please, can't you just sit still and smile? Please?!?!?! Thank you! Now that wasn't all that hard, was it?

Hey, Lilly, aren't these tiny chairs great? A little behind on the style tip, but very cornvenient for our little tushies. Mama, I no want to share lap with anyone. You are my mommy. No, I not share you. I get up until she get up. It's her or me, you gotta decide. Well, I do like this book, and Lilly seems to be very excited about it as well. Maybe I will come and show her my favorite parts. I still no sit on you. Ok. I guess it's not so bad to share mommy lap with cousin. Let's not make it a habit though. This still my lap. Don't you forget it.

Well, for some reason Blogger put these on in reverse order, so viewing from the bottom to the top will be more of a logical transition. Here Bryce cleans up with a little shaving cream. What a lovely winter scene! He didn't paint it with his mouth, though the photo would lend itself to that conclusion. Hey, this is cool, you mean i can put my hands in it and rub it everywhere. What's the catch? I enjoy myself but still waiting for the other shoe to fall.
