cheer camp

Kaylee and Mia had a great time at Upward Cheer Camp. Each day for one week the girls learned cheers, stunts and a pom pom routine. Then on Friday they had a peprally for the parents. The girls learned lots of new cheers and are currently trying to perfect their jumps.

Funny!

While on vacation we stopped at a little BBQ place. Zane saw these Salt and Pepper Shakers and busted out laughing. They made me laugh as well....then we both couldn't control our giggles the rest of the meal. David thought we had lost our minds but we didn't care....I was going through some pictures tonight and saw Zane had taken a picture of them. They brought a smile to my face, even now.

Eight...

Trent had some very specific requests for his birthday cake this year. He wanted a cake with several tiers...and it needed to have different sports on it. I think he really wanted fondant, modeling chocolate and cereal treats too....but I let him know my name is not Buddy and this is not Cake Boss. But after some thought I came up with this cake and he was very pleased.

Of course he is always pleased with presents as well. It doesn't matter what party we're attending, Trent is always watching when the presents are opened. It could be a party for a 3 year old or an 80 year old and he's right there watching. So, this part of the party was what he was WAITING for.

And I'm not sure what this pose is all about but he did the same thing in all 4 of the pics I shot. I think he may go something like this....."Today is MY day.....and these are my Peeps"

Library Picks

A few days ago we took a trip to the local library. The kids always have a great time and want to check out WAY too many books. So this time they all had a 5 book limit and they each picked out their own books. Usually I go through the books before we leave, just to make sure they are the right level or are appropriate. But this time I got side-tracked and didn't look through them until later.

I walked by Trent as he was reading the book below...How to Drive your sister crazy. The funny part is that when I looked over at Kaylee she was reading the exact same book...I guess they didn't have a how to drive your brother crazy or we'd have that one at our house too.

What really cracked me up is Ty brought me this book to read to him....I really need to go through the books first.....

From the back of the book

"It's friday afternoon, the sun is setting, and Dino is back knocking at the door. From lighting the candles to sniffing the Hadvalah spices, he brings fun and mischief to a young boy's shabbat"

I giggle a little bit every time we read it....
