We went out with a bang!

Cheer Intensity All Stars went out with a bang. We had a great weekend last weekend in Sydney and came home with the 1st place banner for Sr. 3! It was a very exciting and emotional weekend. Sunday's awards brought lots of smiles and lots of tears too, since it was the end of Cheer Intensity. After awards we had the long drive home, Bethy, who came and spent the weekend with us, drove to Port Hawkesbury then I drove the rest of the way, with 2 short stops, we got home around 12:10am, not too bad. It was great having Beth with us for the weekend. With her living 6 hours away we don't get to spend any amount of time together so it was a nice visit. Kinda sucked going all the way to Cape Breton and not getting to see the touristy places, I'd like to go back up for a weekend and see all the things we didn't get to see.

Today we had a short "practice" to end CIA's year. Was pretty laid back. Some of the team went out for lunch but since I had made an appointment to have Josh's grad pictures done this afternoon, we came home, which was just as well. Most of the kids are going to the city for cheer on the Elite team and Brea isn't going so I thought it was better just to bring her home. It bothers her more when the other kids are talking about it so coming home was a good idea.

Brea did start riding lessons yesterday, she's been asking for 5 years or so but now that she's done cheer till fall, if she goes back at all, I let her start riding. She loved it yesterday, she looked like an old pro by the end of the hour. I always loved horses too, I asked for 1 every year for Christmas but never got it. LMAO

Anyway, it's Survivor night so it's time to get the munchies ready!

Web Cameras

With today's technology you can talk to your friends and family even though you are many miles apart. It's hard when everyone you love is so far away that you never get to see them. But now there's no reason not to see who you are talking to, all you have to do is pick up one of the great web cameras from your local Source store, or order on-line, which is so quick and easy. I've bought from them before both on-line and in our local store and have never had a problem with my order.

TGIF

I gotta tell you, the only thing that is making me happy that it's Friday this week is the fact that today is supposed to be the last day that it rains for a few days. OMG the wet, damp weather really plays hell with my back and this week it has been terrible. Not much in the plans for the weekend, we have to clean out Breanna's dresser, which is always a long job. Lots to clean out that she's outgrown I'm sure.

I've been sitting here watching the Royal Wedding since I got up, I wasn't getting up at 5am to watch, since I didn't go to bed till 3, but I've been watching the re-run. What a beautiful wedding, and another People's Princess for the world to watch, she really is stunning.

So we're getting ready for Cheer Intensity's last competition, not just for this year but forever. Our coach Jason has decided to move on and go coach Cheer Elite in the city, one of the best cheer teams around. It's a great move for him but sucks for us. Breanna cried the other night for an hour when I told her. I have no idea what she'll do for next year. If I had known this was going to happen I would have never let her change teams this year. She has the opportunity to go to the city and be on Elite but that is $1400.00 and practices are twice a week, on week nights. So that's about 5 hours that she'd be gone from home. That is way too much for her. I know her school work would suffer and she would be miserable. Her school work has to come first, our kids start school before 8am so she's up early, right now she gets to sleep a little later because Josh takes the car every day, next year he'll be at NSCC and she'll be back on the bus, which gets here at 6:45am. So as heartbreaking as it is for both of us, we just can't do it. So stay tuned to see what she'll do for next year, she wants to stay with cheer but she also wants to still compete at level 3, which she did this year, so I just don't know

Hydroponics

Do you do any inside growing during our off season, which seems to be getting longer and longer as the years go on? Many people like to start their plants inside and then take them out to the garden once we know our frost season is over with. If you do, you should get hooked up with some great hydroponics and nutrients that you can find on this web site.
