First Competition

Proud Cobra Coaches!

This past weekend was the first competition of the season which we have been preparing for since June. The team has had a few bumps and bruises along with a couple sprained and 1 fractured ankle. Just keeping all of them healthy is a full time job! Yesterday, we were down a cheerleader due to an injury (the fractured ankle).  I know she was sad about not being on the mat with her team, but she will be back for the rest of our competitions.  I think competition is more nerve wracking as a coach because I can't do anything, I just have to sit and watch.

I LOVE LOVE our competition routine this year.  We have a ton of tumbling and a sweet dance (yeah Melissa!!)  I am so very proud of my team, they work hard and it paid off....  1st place Co-ed division!! We still have work to do (as always) however, I think this is a great place to start from!

The twins went to a birthday party this past weekend with Chris and I was told they had a BLAST.  Chris said Carter did not stop running and playing with the big kids and kenna was cute as always.

 They ate a cupcake while Chris was holding both of them and I'm sure Chris was stressing about the cupcake getting EVERYWHERE... I can see it now. haha Chris does NOT like to get dirty, so to have cupcake all over the three of them is hilarious! Can you tell he is not happy by his face...Good job staying calm Daddy!

 They got a special present from Grandpa, Uncle Phil and Aunt Diane in the mail this past week.  Iowa cheerleading outfit and t-shirt!! We had to wear them out to dinner.  I know, its the wrong colors for Mommy's team, we need red and gold. What college team is red and gold? I want to get a uniform for Kenna for the HHS competitions.

Sunday morning breakfast (when Chris cooks) is my favorite.  He made massive breakfast sandwiches this morning.. 2 pieces of toast, 2 pieces of cheese, egg, sausage, hashbrown patty, with hot sauce...... YUUMMMMMM! 

The twins had their breakfast too... eggs, sausage, and hashbrowns.  Chris makes the best breakfasts!! He still has a bit to learn about making dinner but he's coming along :) and now to get back to my lazy lazy Sunday.

It has been a BUSY week

We have a new..........NEPHEW!! John Louis Cox was born on 10-12-11 weighing in at 8lbs and as healthy as can be! Congratulations Lisa, Joe, Patrick, Izzy, and Tommy!! I can't wait to go home in January and hold the little guy. 

We also celebrated my 29th birthday.  I had a wonderful day at school; all my classes sang happy birthday to me. I really loved when they were guessing my age and honestly guessed 24!! Then they acted surprised I was 29. Only 1 person (out loud) guessed I was 32..haha.  I love my classes this year.  They are hard workers and have great personalities which makes my job even more enjoyable.  Chris got me Tom's shoes.  The are the "Dare to Teach" fabric. I love them! And I love that Tom's has their "One for One" campaign.  It is with every purchase of a new pair of Tom's they will give a new pair of shoes to a child in need.  So that means a kid out there got a present for my birthday too!!! 

My cheerleaders made me a special shirt that said "Birthday Coach" with all their names on the back. It's pretty sweet! I wore it to both games this week this past week. 

 

A couple weekends ago I made a "Haunted Foam Castle".  It was a 91 piece 3D foam puzzle.  The directions were to follow the picture on the box.  Three hours later I finally had it finished.  It is very cute, some sort of directions would have been helpful.  I think my finished castle turned out pretty cool!
