A Very Busy Week...

A quick week in review for those that wonder why sometimes the blog, emails, and phone calls are the last to be addressed.

Monday: Day: Work/ school. Evening: Brooke had Bball practice and Ashley participated in Day 1 of the Mini Cheer Camp at CV High School. Dinner, homework, showers, misc.

Tuesday: Day: Work/ school. Evening: Science projects and laundry!! Dinner, homework, showers, misc.

Wednesday: Day: Work/ school. Evening: Ashley participated in Day 2 of the Mini Cheer camp at CVHS while Dave and I hosted Care Group (6 couples + kids) in our home. Dinner, homework, showers, misc.

Thursday: Day: Appointments to take care of personal business (i.e. nails, cut & color, waxing). At 2:30, Brooke's 4th grade class hosted a "Wax Museum" where each of the kids in the class selected a famous individual to impersonate. In the past few weeks, they read books and studied the lives of these people. Today, they stood behind their desks were they displayed props relating to their character. Each desk had a red button to push that triggered the kids to begin their speech that highlighted their characters life.

Brooke portrayed the life and times of Abraham Lincoln.

Brooke as Abe Lincoln and Courtney as Annie Oakley.

Thursday evening we watched at the Future Cheerleaders of CVHS (Ashley and friends) performed at halftime during the varsity basketball game.


Friday: Work/ School. Evening: Shane picked up the girls for the weekend at the bus stop. Dave was out of town for the past 2 days and traveling home so I took advantage of the free time to enjoy dinner and drinks with some of the ladies from work at Rock City Grill. Before leaving the mall, I stopped by Banana Republic and picked up two pairs of slacks on clearance. One pair was $14.99 (originally $89) and the other for $30.99 (originally $110). I LOVE A GREAT DEAL!!
Saturday: We were at it early again for BBall games and cheerleading with games beginning at 9am.

The Glitters!

SLAM DUNK by "Air Brooke"



The girls went home with Shane so I took advantage of the free time to get a massage then came home and napped while Dave caught up on lost episodes of "Red Eye". Finally, I calculated and submitted our 2008 tax returns after balancing our budget.
Now, it is Sunday morning and time to close so I can get in the shower and get ready for church. Then it will be time to do laundry again, hit the grocery store then pick up the girls. I am sorry that it can be long between posts but as you can read, life with two daughters and two parents working full time can be hectic. We beg your grace.

Thank you Tracy for updating the blog when you have the time. It's so hard to be so far away and this helps us feel a little closer.

You don't know me, I'm a friend of Heather's. I noticed your daughter participated in Upward Cheer. Have you heard of the American Cheerleading Academy here in Spokane? My daughter goes to it and has really enjoyed it. They cheered for two EWU basketball games this year, participate in the parades, etc... You might check it out. We've really enjoyed it. It's off of Pines on Montgomery. 869-3040
