Heart Ball 2023

AB participated in the Hot Springs Sweethearts program this year.  It is a wonderful opportunity for young ladies to spend the year learning more about heart health and educating them on different aspects of healthcare.  The girls attended sessions where they learned about nutrition, learned how to stitch up a wound on a pig's foot (ew), and then spent many hours in the hospital rooms learning more about patient care.  This girl got to see a few babies born or circumcised; eek!  She was able to watch surgery on a gunshot wound and take xrays and MRIs on patients.  It really is a special program because these girls get first-hand knowledge of healthcare they would never get otherwise.  She loved all these experiences and the time spent with friends as well.  The evening was filled with dinner, dancing, and an auction to celebrate these ladies.  They all looked so beautiful, and we found what AB thought was her perfect dress to complete the night.  I am so proud of the beautiful young lady she is becoming, and I loved watching she and her dad on the dance floor.  I hope the video will load to the post but trust me, they stole the show!  

My pretty little sister is ready for a night of fun with the big girls!
Lots and lots of pics...but the dresses we won't get to wear again require lots of pics! Ha!





Mom and Dad even made it on the dance floor!

And we interrupt this post to bring you some Valentine love.  A day well spent with my favorite lovies!



Pink drinks for everyone!
Dad knows the way to my heart!!!

This dress was just gorgeous...not sure we will ever find one like it again!!  It was so beautiful on her.










It was so great to have all the grandparents and my sister at the table with us for the evening.  All to celebrate a great year of this girl and her service to her community.























These little girls broke it down all night long!!!


These two stole the show with their dance moves!!!


One proud dad!

I can't believe these girls will be doing this in a few years! Time slows down....
