Boy oh Boy, worldwind.............

When would you ever think our lives wouldn't be so busy. I feel I take on way too much, but that's just me. I am still teaching cheerleading, Zumba and Ballet. I am bringing in a new class in January at the Y and it's baton twirling. I will be doing that along w/ cheer and then the Ballet. I am over 1/2 way through my anatomy class and should complete by Dec 5th. Then I will have to attend an 18 hour Pilates certification class, complete 40 hours of student teaching, 20 hours of private instruction and attend 20 mat classes. I have already begun attending my mat classes. I LOVE them. I have never been so sore from stretching and I feel so refreshed afterwards. I have started a new schedule w/ the kids and it seems to be working. I get them up around 7:30-8, get them breakfast and waking up. I attend a 9:30 Yoga Ball class and then I am starting to run this coming week. I have 1 to 2 classes I try to attend each day. Last week was a lot better than this week. It has been raining so I don't go anywhere. I am working back teaching a dance fusion class at HP again on Wednesdays, so that is another cardio workout for me. My Ballet class ends on the 21st of this month, but will pick up again in January. So, when I say I work everyday of the week, I do, but for about 1-2.5 hours and that's it. I have been selling more purses lately and trying to get them loaded on my website. I am still working on that as well. The boys have been going through speach evaluations the last couple of months and we meet next week to discuss their new route. We also FINALLY got a call from the MDO and the boys have been accepted and there are openings!!! I am so excited for them. We are now doing the paperwork and getting everything ready. Savannah is busier than ever, she is in tumbling and now tutoring for Algebra. Brooke just finished volleyball and being the manager for the school volleyball team, she will start again in the spring. We are now looking for club tryouts for volleyball so that she can try out for her school team next year. Dwayne is rocking and rolling at work, busy as usual and doing well. He is making sure he keeps up so that he takes care of us. We are all looking forward to the holidays. We were looking at going home, but thought we will plan for next year at Thanksgiving, for the girls to see snow and we take them skiing. We are also trying to plan for all of us to head to Mexico for vacation. So...................that means, I have to get busy bringing more business in and SAVING money. Anyone that knows me, knows I do not save very well. Dwayne is the manager of our money! he he

Well, that's kinda everything in a nutshell. Hope I covered everything. Will try to pick things up more often soon!

Trying to keep up....................

You know, I really enjoy blogging, but with my schedule it just seems that I don't get to it like I would like to. We all have been super busy with school starting and classes. It's just NUTS! We also went through about 3 weeks of kids being sick. Started with Savannah, then me, then Donnie and now Jimmy. Jimmy has taken a lot longer to get better. He always gets a NASTY cough and it lingers. We are finally on the road to recovery.

This will be my busiest time of the year. I teach classes Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri now. I have Cheer on Mondays, Tues is Zumba, Thurs is Zumba and Friday is NYC Ballet. I am also having to take some extra classes for our December Dance Recital. THEN, Savannah has tumbling on Mondays while I am at class, Her games are on Tuesdays, Brooke' Volleyball practices are on Wednesday nights (while Savannah is at Bible Study), plus Brooke is the Manager for her school Volleyball team which her games and practices are 2-3 a week. So, we are NOT busy at all! YEAH RIGHT! While doing all of this I am working on our website. I had someone build it, but I am having to do all of the "about us" and catalog stuff. Then trying to work out our shipping with a drop shipping company, ordering supplies/equipment for Zumba and learn new choreography. I am NOT complaining that is for sure. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY LIFE~ I can be all over the place and don't get the things done at home as often as I would like, but I am gonna get it before too long.

I am actually in the mood for fall to be here. I was in such a Football mood Sunday it was nuts. I wanted people over and enjoy the weather and steaks, it was fun. I am in the mood to get holiday decorations up and move on to the good times. We had a GREAT summer and can't wait for what's in store for the rest of the year.

Donnie and Jimmy are doing well. They are into EVERYTHING! We are on a waiting list unfortunately for MDO, I am hoping it will open up soon. I would like them in quickly. When I called to have them put on the list, she said they had to be completely potty trained and I freaked. Because we had done well and then BOOM, we were back to diapers. Nightmare! So, I decided I was going to work extra hard and get it done, well we were DONE in 4 days!!!!!!! Both stinking on the potty and we only had 1 accident! That's RIGHT ONE! I was stoked. We are next on the waiting list!

We will keep you posted. I promise to put new pics on here too soon!

Well, Savannah went to her Cheer Camp for WWJH and had a great time. It was a new experience for her, she had to work hard and boy was she tired. They started Monday at 12:45 and went until 10PM. Then they had to get up at 6am everyday to work out and learn their stuff. Supposedly went until 9 or so every night. On Wednesday, I traveled up w/ most of the Cheer Moms and we did dinner and played a learning game about each other (for us Newbies). It was a lot of fun and I really appreciate the warm welcome the Newbies have received. Thursday morning we had breakfast and then went straight to the recreation center to get good seats to watch the girls. They did well. They did have a fall, but received a top ribbon for their performance. Savannah is a flyer!!!!!! TELL YA WHAT, makes me scared to death. They received 2nd place for their Cheer and won Champions (1st Place) for their extreme routine!!!! Way to go Wildcats!!! This actually got them a chance to go to Florida to do it again and in the New Year's Day Parade in Orlando.....BUT the school district doesn't allow Jr High's to participate in this so that the High Schools have the chance for the spots. I am looking forward to the school year and what these girls have to bring!

Love the New Background.........Thanks Staci

Thank you Staci!!!! I have added a new background to my blog and absolutely LOVE it! I will be back on later to update!

LONG time no post.............................

Man oh Man, it's been a long time since I have blogged. Well, let's see, lot's has happened. Saturday, May 17th, I had a 14 hour day working and dancing at the YMCA, dance recital. I will post pics and videos soon. (I lost the cord to the camera, UGH). I have to say, I had soooo much fun. It had been a long time since I had danced on stage and it all came right back. Miss it badly! I will be teaching more dance classes in the fall and I WILL be performing in the dance recital from here on out.

Memorial Day weekend, we hit the beach w/ some of the old neighbors and the little kids (girls were w/ their dad) and had a great time. The boys loved the beach and got to play w/ Kaycie in the sand.

The 1st part of June was just as busy because we had Dwayne's Birthday and Father's Day. We had a very small celebration here at the house for his Birthday. We got him a Wii as a gift. We also celebrated Brent's Birthday since it was the day after. We have been super busy with the girls and the boys, as you can imagine.

I just took a weekend trip to San Antonio with the ladies from Zumba and friends. It was a BLAST!!! We have decided that this will be an annual thing! We are also hoping to do a fall trip. We have lots of things planned with our group. Pool Party coming up (ladies only) and then a pajama party with some bedazzling! whoo hoo Lots of fun. I can't wait.

4th of July weekend, we are going over to the Boles Annual 4th of July party and for some of the BEST fireworks, put on by Robbie Nevers! His birthday is that day and always goes all out. Then the girls will be going on Vacation with their dad to Florida. They are excited because their 1/2 brother is visiting from the Navy.

When they get home we are planning our vacation as a family. We were going to South Padre, but I think we will do Galveston for a few days and let the girls take a friend. Hang out at Schlitterbahn and the beach and come home. Then it's getting Savannah off to cheer camp and I have another Cheer camp at the Y. (Which I am running this week as well).

I guess that's where we are and everything I have missed. I will post pics asap. Have a great, safe 4th of July!!!!

My INCREDIBLE children

I am such the proud mommy! Of ALL my children. The boys are growing and making me laugh everyday!

Now these girls???? Well, they make me cry! They are still my babies and I miss them being little so much, but I am so super proud of them.

Brooke performed in the Band Concert Monday and here are a few pics. She's grown up! She is going to be a SuperStar for sure! She loves the stage! he he

Then Savannah performed in her End of the Yr Dance at School and OMG, I was wow'd! She did great! I am just as proud of her!

Just checking in....

Just wanted to stop in and let everyone know that things are still going well. We had a scare a couple weeks ago and I feel much better about the situation now. My sister, Lesly was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. She had her byopsy done last week and one of them is bignign and the other is pre-cancerous cells. They will perform a lumpectomy in the near future and watch it. Needless to say, this scared me. I scheduled my annual and now I have an order for a mammogram myself just to get checked. I will be undergoing an ultrasound this week as well as lab work to check my hormones.

We have been super busy with the girls and myself. I am teaching NYC Ballet now at the Y as well as my other classes and rehearsing for dance recital. I am performing this session as well as leading the cheerleaders. Should be a lot of fun and tiring. I am not as young as I used to be, but hey I can try. ha ha

Savannah's performance is tomorrow night and I am anxious to see how they do. Brooke had a band performance Monday, but I couldn't attend because we were holding a May Fiesta for the gymnastics kids and dress rehearsal for the cheerleaders. Thank goodness for Dwayne, he recorded it for me.

Next week, we hope will calm down a little bit. The girls are going with their dad Memorial Day weekend and Dwayne and the boys and I are going to the beach with some great friends. We can't wait.

I will keep you posted and add more pics soon. Dwayne is downloading them for me. Have a great weekend!
