An Update Finally...

After seeing an old friend this weekend and talking to each other about blogs, I realize that I better get mine updated. ☺ It seems like there is just not enough time in the day to do everything on my list led alone update a blog. That being said I am making a commitment to myself to not let this thing go another 3 months before I update it again!


Drill Team Review




I just finished yet another year of Drill Team at Rockwell Charter High School. This year we competed on the 1 A state level and had huge success. We placed within the top 3 at every competition we attended and so we were really looking forward to State. Unfortunately our State performances were not our best, dropped props, injuries and sickness for the girls, but we walked away without any kind of penalties and ended up taking 4th place overall at the state competition!!! Not to bad for our little team that started out with over ¾ of the girls having NO DANCE EXPERIENCE what so ever!

Thursday we wrapped up our year with our Drill Team Review. It was a very fun night and I just want to thank the girls for all of their hard work and dedication all season long. Not sure how we can top this year, but I am looking forward to my 4th year as a drill coach next year. ☺

My little Bryden…


Is really not so little anymore. Bryden just recently turned 18 months on the 26th of February. It’s hard for me to even remember what life was like without him. I can definitely say there is never a dull moment with Bryden around! He is a VERY active boy who has to have his input and hand in everything. He is talking like crazy and learning to count. (He is pretty good up to 7) Wade is in the process of trying to grow Bryden’s hair out. He wants him to have “surfer” hair for the summer. Right now it is in a really awkward stage so he looks homeless most of the time. But Bryden is definitely taking his dad’s side on this one because anytime I even joke about cutting his hair he gives me a scowl and says “No”. He is probably the most polite 1 ½ year old I know. He says please when asking for anything and always replies Thank you when you hand him something. Even when he is done eating he will hand me his plate and say Thank you, then follows it up with “ I U” which means I love you. This little man absolutely melts my heart with his kisses and always wants “to hold me” which means cuddle. He loves bath time and playing with balls. I am convinced he is going to be a baseball player because the boy has an arm. He is definitely an outside baby because you can’t keep him away from the doors or outside when it is warm enough.

We have been fortunate enough to spend some time this winter in Mesquite at Wade’s parents home and have loved playing on the golf course. Bryden typically hangs out in the golf cart but every once in while likes to swing the club. If Papa has his way Bryden will be golfing within the next year.


I love this little guy so much and can say that I feel as complete as I have ever felt having him in my life. I wish that my job didn’t take away so much time of us playing together but am so grateful he comes to visit me often. I love you B!!!
