Kalahari Luau 2009

It's been months in the making and finally the big weekend came! The Kalahari Luau Meet 2009! Woo Hoo!!
Cassidy was competing Friday morning at 7:45 am! So we went up Thursday after school, Shawn wasn't home so my Mom went along to help with the kid's in the waterpark. This very nice man named Jim helped us get everything out of the car and into the room and he was so full of information. We jumped into our suits and down to the waterpark we went. We had so much fun! We did go on lot's of slides then headed back to the room to get settled and roll Cassidy's hair for the morning! Mom ordered a chicken brocoli alfredo pizza, YUM!! We ate and were in bed with lights out by 9:45pm! We were up before six and we got around and went down the the meet. There Shawn, Dad, Norma & her friend and neighbor Rita met us! It was so cool to see Cassidy out there stretching and smiling so much. You could tell she was excited and nervous. She did a great job! All the girl's did great! I'm very proud of how much she has learned! After the awards Shawn, Cassidy, Brooke & I took over a three hour nap! It was NEEDED!!! We hit the waterpark before 4 and finally met up with our friends after 8 and we all rode and laughed until after 10 then we split up and we got pizza and it was so good! What a day so we did go back to the waterpark the next day until 2!! What a weekend!!! Thank You to Grandpa & Grandma, Grandma V. and Rita for your support at the meet! Thanks to Betty, Danny, Kelly, Lauren, Zach & Riley for the Friday night entertainment!! It was all so much fun!!

Science is a great thing!! Cassidy had an assignment on Mercury! We learned some very cool things about the closest planet to the sun. Shawn & Cassidy worked very hard as Brooke & I looked on I think they did a GREAT job. Cassidy did get an A+!! Way to go Cassidy!!

Shawn turned the BIG 3 0

I totally LOVE Shawn and him turning 30 first is a GREAT thing!! Cassidy, Brooke & I wore John Deere to celebrate!! He was only home about five hours so I made supper and our parents and Jordan came down and we ate and the girl's & I made cupcakes! It was a nice night!! I hope I take turning 30 as well as he did!! LOL

Monster Jam 2009

We went to Monster Jam in Detroit! What a trip the roads were horrible! We got a bit of a later start than we had wanted but it turned out to be just the right amount of time! It snowed so much it was just silly to even be out, I don't think any road in our county had been plowed at all by noon! We stoped for a quick McDonald's lunch in Toledo and we were off to MONSTER JAM rahhhhhh!! LOL Once we got into Detroit we seen over six cars and trucks off the roads or spun out most were 4x4! I have to admit I was nervous. We followed our friends and they plowed the way! We got there for a pit pass time then the show, our seats also came with hot dogs and pop! ((Kelly & Shawn figured all this out when buying tickets!)) It was so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The drive home was even longer because of the roads but we made it back and had a BLAST!!!!

Christmas Day

Christmas Day what can I say it was WONDERFUL!! Shawn had been out on the road and he got home at 5:30 am and thank goodness the girl's slept until almost nine!! It was a great time and the girl's were so EXCITED to open all their gifts and they even "fainted" a few times!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Santa's Cookies

We usually do this all together but Shawn was stuck out on the road so we tried to hold out and finally on the day before Christmas Eve we made our Santa cookies. They turned out SO cool! The girl's always do an awesome awesome job!! They were super yum-o!

Preschool Christmas

Brooke's school party was so much FUN!! I was in charge of the craft and we made snowflake ornaments for the tree with their pictures on it and they turned out super nice and Kelly (my friend) was in charge of games and she is super full of enery and excitement so it was so awesome and another Mom brought cookies to frost and did they ever!!
