what a gal!

my daughter is so awsome!!!  kaila is 10 years old and in the 4th grade at clare primary school.  she recently entered two different art contests and won a place in both!!  the first was a contest for the local Big Brothers Big Sisters organization, the contest theme was happy and she drew a little girl jumping for joy because she just scored a goal at her soccer game...kaila worked so hard on it and it certainly showed when i got the call that she had won.

the second contest was a banner contest.  every spring/summer season the city of mt. pleasant hangs banners from the light posts all through town displaying local artwork...kaila also won a spot on a post for her entered banner...she gets to go to the park every saturday and work on painting it with a special paint.  she is super excited about it all!!

so she is going to have a banner displayed and her "happy" drawing went up for auction last night.  it sold for 60$!!  not too shabby for her first piece of art!!  i will get it scanned on here soon so everyone can share!!

it was a great night for all of us last night, a little family gathering you could say.  todd, kelly, elizabeth, aunt luanne, wayne and i all went out to dinner at big boy before the auction...we were running a little late and afraid we would miss her art but low and behold it was #29 out of 30 so we were ok with time for sure!!  there her dad josh, his dad, sister, sister iin law met up with us and we were all there to support kaila and make sure she knew there was a lot of love there for her!!  if only papa could have come it would have made the night complete.  there were a lot of things for auction that night encluding a HUGE saw blade with artwork on it and a silent auction that kelly won a few things on...

not to be left out, kaila also won a drawing for 2 Great Lakes Loons baseball tickets and a 15$ gas card to get her there!! she was so excited she may have peed a little!! lol

all in all it was a fantastic night and elizabeth had a great time too!!  i cant wait to see whats in store for my little girl in the future with all her accomplishments!!  IM SO PROUD I CANT STOP SMILING!!
