Our Little Daisy

Caiti started Girl Scouts tonight. She is a Daisy and is super excited about everything she will be learning and doing! She will have meetings every Wednesday and field trips on Sundays.  I'm really glad she wanted to do this and that we were able to fit it into our schedule. I think she is going to learn some valuable lessons and she is going to grow from this and become her own person!

Brooke Point High School Cheer Camp

Tonight was the girls' (Caiti, Maddie and Gracie) 3rd night of Cheer Camp! After doing some of their regular night activities, they showed the parents the cheer and dance that they have been working so hard on.  After they showed us how GREAT they are, the Cheer Coaches presented the girls with their awards!!! They each received a Brooke Point Cheer Camp plaque with their name on it, a picture frame with their pictures in it, a pom pom and a megaphone! Plus they made tye die t-shirts that they will be wearing in their performance on Friday! AND...they are making the girls hair bows to wear just like the real cheerleaders!  They really put a lot of thought into this camp and we are so impressed with everything and so very glad we chose to let Caiti be a part of it!!

It's September

And so starts the beginning of our non-stop, go go go days!! Every year when September rolls around we know that more than likely our days of relaxation are done and gone.  It truly is our end of Summer, LOL!

Cory is getting deep into football.  Practices will now go from 4 days a week to 3 days a week.  He will have a game every Saturday...all over Virginia! We are going to enroll him in online tutoring for Math, just to keep him on track. 

Caiti is looking forward to cheering at her brothers games. Not only will she cheer at Cory's games but she will also cheer at Jeremy's games.  We are enrolling her into Girl Scouts.  I believe she will be a 'Daisy' and she is very excited about that!!!  She will have meetings every Wednesday and an events on Sundays.  I'm looking forward to all that she'll learn and grow from in this group! Be ready for cookie orders!!! :)

Right now things are pretty slow at work for Jay which is great.  He has the time to focus on another college course he is taking.  He is an assistant coach for Cory's football team and is really enjoying that! Just last month he hit 14 years in the Marine Corps!! I am so proud of the Marine he is.  He really dedicates himself to his job and I admire that about him!  He plans on re-enlisting at the end of this year.

As things slow down for Jay at work...things are picking up here for me! Getting everyone to football practice, Caiti to her cheer camp and now Girl Scouts, doing my daily routine in and out of the house and I am watching Natalie three days a week.  I am noticing that the older the kids get, the busier I become! LOL!! It's good for me though...I don't like to just sit around with nothing to do!  I'm back on my long walks.  I feel like since my surgery I haven't been able to get a really good walk in.  I have had a few here and there but just recently Jeannie and I figured out a new route which gives us a good 5 mile walk everyday, a little shorter on the days I have Natalie but still a very good walk! I am working on shedding some of these inches off...I say inches not weight because I try not to focus too much on my weight.  I carry it good in some spots and others not so much but as long as I get my inches right, I'm happy!

We are all ready for Fall here and are looking forward to everything we have coming up! Stay tuned...
