I'm a Winner!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, apparently I entered a contest on the CouponCravings blog to win an iTouch and . . . guess what? . . . I actually WON!!!!!!!!!!! So excited. My son has one and I'm jealous of it. Now I can play, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've had a busy week so far at our house. My husband's mother has been in the hospital for about a week (she's like 88) and will finally be going home today. Of course, he's been going over to see her every night after work.

Basketball on Saturday. Daughter worked Saturday night. She's a hostess with the mostess at Bonefish Grill. She made a TON of money!

It was my son's birthday on Sunday. He's 14!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it. My little baby! I'll try and post a picture in a minute.

The kids were home from school on Monday, being President's Day and all. We didn't do much. Played with the new Wii (birthday gift). I'm getting good at tennis.

Got a funeral to go to this week. One of my son's baseball teammates' dad finally succumbed to his cancer. Very sad. So we're going to the viewing today and the funeral tomorrow. I think this is my son's first funeral.

Anyway, just so stoked for the prize! I don't even care what it is, I just finally won something!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, Another Cheer Competition!

This one at the Univ. of Maryland, College Park. My DD's senior small level 4 came in 1st. However, they had no competition, only a score to beat, but they beat it and were also level 4 grand champions!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was a fun competition, no pressure!

Basketball

My boy plays basketball on a rec league. It's just for fun, and he's pretty good. He plays point guard. Oh, and he's a cutie-pie, too. Here's a photo for your enjoyment.

Charlotte Cheer Competition

Well, we came in 3rd. Not what was expected. The girls really thought they'd get 1st (out of 9). Oh well. We had a good time anyway. Charlotte is such a nice town! We found the cutest sandwich shop and ate there several times. Matt's something-or-other, right across from the convention center.

Here are a couple of pics!

ANOTHER WIN!!!!!!!!!!!

Dream Allstars - Eternity (level 4, senior small) took first at Jamfest Live in Washington, D.C. this weekend!!!!!!!!!!! 1st out of six teams! And they even had a few mistakes. We're 3 for 3 so far this season! On Friday, we go to Charlotte, NC for a big competition. Should be fun. Can't wait to get out of town, although I'm dreading driving 7 hours and coming back the day before the inauguration. I'm very nervous about traffic on Monday getting back towards DC. Could be VERY BAD. Anyway, a few pics to go with this post.






This competition was neat because the team in first place got to sit on the sidelines to watch the other teams. So here's our squad watching and waiting. Our goody bag had these cute sunglasses in it and they all put them on. It was perfect!

Scrapbook Room

So I finally took some pictures of my little room which also serves as a "guest" room and I use that term loosely. My oldest hates to sleep on that little bed when she comes home (as she doesn't have her own room here anymore!). Anyway, I painted it the most beautiful shade of lavender last summer and my grandmother's old quilt just matches perfectly! I also just picked up two more of the storage cubes from Mikes at 50% off. I think six is enough. Still filling them up. I'm trying to organize more efficiently. I have a wonderful closet with great shelves that are still a mess. I'll post a picture of that when it's more organized. Enjoy!

New Year!

Happy 2009! I can't believe it's 2009. I remember being in the third grade in KY and having the teacher write on the board 1967! Time does fly when you're having fun. We spent NYE at some friends which was fun. We usually just stay in. Got a photo or two, not much. Hubby went to Miami to the Orange Bowl (VT against Cincinnati) Go Hokies! He'll be back today.
