Cheer Season Again

So I had to comment about Savannah's cheer. Some days I still can't believe my daughter is a cheerleader. So it is getting close to competition time and Savannah was invited to do a solo again this year!! Yeah Savannah. So she got a new coach this year and she has not been very efficient I guess you could say so I fired her as Savannah's solo coach. I did this and then told Savannah, I thought it was quite funny she told me "I am not okay with this!" Well I then had to tell her why and go into more detail. Now we have Morgan as her solo coach and now we are back on track and so excited for the first cheer competition, and no there was no sarcasm in that at all!!

Mamma Mia!!

Savannah has early out Fridays from school so today we went and saw Mamma Mia!! How fun that was I am ready to go see it again. It is a good thing there was not a lot of people there. Savannah and I sang along the whole movie.

Cooking Class

Last night my mom and two of my sisters LuRae and Cyndee went to the Taste Of Homes cooking class at Thanksgiving Point. They had a lot of give aways but I guess they figured we had every thing we needed and none of us won anything!! One of the recipes they did was the lava cakes or as my family knows them the chocolate molten cakes . Those are Savannah's favorites, so we will be attempting to make those. Savannah loves to cook one of her favorite shows is the Rachel Ray show on Food Network!! That is one of the things that was repeated a lot about my grandma that she was a great cook. So hopefully that is one thing we can keep going in our family!!
Thanks Mom for taking us!!

Collective Soul

Last night we got to go the Collective Soul concert out in Wendover, NV. It was so awesome the concert hall we went to is not very big so the sound was perfect. It was a great night. Then we went and gambled we didn't win much we stayed about even. Overall it was a great overnight trip. And it was a much needed quick little get away with my love Travis and three other couples!!

WHEW!!!

So I was reading a book the other night that peoples greatest fear is speaking in public. This is pretty much known to all but after that it said that they are more afraid of speaking in public then they are of dying. Well Saturday morning I had the opportunity to speak at a seminar with over 150 people there. The seminar was for the financial management business Travis and I have started. It was really pleased with us as a couple you have a number one category to be able to speak. I thought it was going to be for all the work Travis had done. We had a number one trophy presented to us and a number three trophy, and then we also one two gift certificates for being in the top ten of two other categories!! But much to my surprise I was invited to speak because I had won the Partnership award! My presentation I felt it went pretty good, there were a few things I wish I could of changed but isn't that life. So know as I conquered one of the greatest fears of most people I figure I can do pretty much anything right!! I am so excited that our life is going so well. But I figure that is one of rewards for working so hard!!

Sept. 5, 2008

I was very fortunate to be able to go to grandma's funeral on Friday. It was a wonderful service. I drove down by myself and after just a few minutes of being there I was very glad I was alone I got cry and feel how I wanted instead of being told it is okay and mommy what is wrong why are you crying. There was a lot of emotions, and I was very glad I had the opportunity of being there. I get to thank my wonderful husband for making that possible.

A Very Sad, But Beautiful Day!!

To Start this off I need to keep it short because I haven't been able to control my tears.

My beautiful, beautiful Grandma passed away September 1 2008. She was 79. She is a very wonderful person and I am honored to pay a little tribute to her. I will be setting a blog in her memory, I will try to work on it this evening before I head to Idaho. But my emotions my say otherwise.

So to end this entry, I would like to say that I love you grandma, and so very glad that I have so many wonderful memories with you !! I am so glad you are enjoying your second life.
Savannah told me that she is probably playing the piano and singing a pretty song. That is all my tears will allow for now.
