Headlines: Choir Geek gives birth to two Cheerleaders!!!

LOL...yeah, it's true!! I wouldn't say I was a "nerd" in high school, but I sure loved to sing!! So I spent all 4 yrs of high school on 1, 2 and even 3 choirs at a time (I think I used all my electives on choir, LOL)...anyway, so it's a bit puzzling to me that:

A) None of my kids have my musical ability... and
B) I have 2 cheerleaders for daughters!

PWHS had their  peewee Cheer Clinic last week and since Taylor's a varsity Cheerleader, of course Paige wanted to do the clinic. Then last night, they got to cheer at the West/Centennial basketball game (which West won, of course...Go Cyclones!! ). So in a rare moment, I got to see both of my girls cheering at the same time!!

I'm so proud of my gorgeous daughters!! Go Taylor & Paige!!!

REAL Girls Rock!!!

Chase's 13th Birthday!!

Gosh...I have not been keeping up here and I'm not sure where the time has gone, but...

January 19th, was Chase's 13th Birthday (awwww...can't believe my baby  boy is a teenager already)! It was a crazy evening...we had connect at the church, and had planned on going out to dinner after connect. Well...before we even got to the church, it had started to "sleet"...but it was so cold that the sleet was just instantly freezing to the ground. This went on for several hours before the snow began. Oh boy...we did drive into town to go to Red Lobster, but it was slow going as the highway was like a sheet of ice. Taylor had student council so it was just the four of us (Chase, Paige, Nolan and I). We had a good time though. Chase got $25 from Grandpa and our gift to him is new hockey gear (for roller hockey). Nolan is going to take him this week to pick out what he needs. That was Wednesday...then on Friday night, he had a "buddies" bday sleepover party. Nolan took the kids skating from 4 to 6, then home for hotdogs and cupcakes. They had a great time!!

Happy New Year 2011!!

Gosh...can't believe it's the 7th already and I haven't posted anything for the new year! I had to go back to work on the 3rd and this week has been incredibly stressful and busy. It was soooooooo much working getting things ready so that I could have time off, and now there's so much to catch up on since I've been gone. Since there's really no one to fill in for me when I'm gone, it sucks :( !! However, this has sparked some conversation between Dave and I as to getting me some office help. I spend so much time doing "mindless" work (cutting inserts, folding bulletins, stocking attendance books, etc.) and I was thinking if I could get at least 4 volunteers to donate just 2 hours a month, I could have a helper once a week all month long. It would work best to have someone come in on Wed. mornings for a couple hours while we're having staff meeting. At least they could man the phones and do some of the mindless work which would really free me up to do all these other projects and things they want/need done. So...there will be a request in next Sunday's bulletin!

Back to New Years...

Nolan and I went to dinner and then stopped by the TW for a few drinks. We had to get home early cause Taylor was having a "few" friends over. OMG, my house was full ...I think the entire high school was here...and one LARGE hole in the wall, bathroom door broken, and Taylor's iPod stolen means the end of having get togethers here. I'm done! The kids love us and most of them are awesome kids, but I can't afford any more damage or loss. It's too bad that a few rotten apples spoil the whole bunch.  Anyway...we had a really nice dinner and it was fun to get a little time away!

Looking forward to an exciting new year!! Here's to 2011!
