is it summer yet?

IT has been forever since I posted. I actually got on to put up a picture, but realized I am on the wrong lap top... (we have 2 laptops and then Luke's computer..) Typical of me lately.
Things are crazy. Cheer has been good til this past week.....Oh well, those of you that coach cheer probably know what I am talking about... It is week 3 of the season...Hmmm.. The girls are pretty good. They get a little sloppy when they aren't focused.. those are just bad habits.
Gager "peed in the potty" for the first time today...I am a bad momma letting them potty train for me...
Luke is getting antsy about driving..seems he has a new love interest...It is so funny to watch them go from one girl to the next and of course claim it is "LOVE"...
School is okay. Sped is a different field. My online class is kicking my butt, but I am hanging in there.
Went to D town and saw the girls cheer. They looked good, but it made me feel old...Where does the time go...? Held Paige's baby. HE is a cutie.
Oh well, going to Chicago this weekend for B's reintegration class...it is mandatory. I would say I will enjoy the break, but I think I will be doing lots of homework.
Peace and love and chocolate..
LOL Jamie

only a few days left..

okay, it is official. I am stressed. School starts next week and my cheerleaders perform the first tme on Thursday. Yikes there are not enough hours in a day... My class is almost complete, but I have to get my IEP's and hand those out. And then I have to plan for next week... and on an on and on. I have such a long to do list..

Then in PG there are all these things that are always done, but nobody contacts you about to explain...Big time example is some clolthesline fair busines... Oh well. I will figure it out eventually.

My girls looked great at cheer camp and I hope they stick it at black and gold game....

For you cheer lingo people... they are dong a cheer w/ backhandspring load ins, kickstand out, preps to extention to prep full downs...then they chant and do a dance and do a ticktock then turn out and hitch..

WOW. pretty good for their first show.

Oh wel, Luke is at mom's for a few days, he has open house Monday. Gager has been sick. Hopeflly he is on the mend...
B is doing great.

Good luck next week to all my educational friends. love ya, JB

more...

Hey... Okay, So we went to get Bryan at Shelby and then to New Orleans...Nobody was impressed much with New Orleans, so after the aquarium we left a day early and went to Destin. The boys seemed to have fun just hanging out. They met some young ladies from Louisiana and we saw very little of them..LOL B went parasailing and seemed to enjoy that. Gager loved the ocean and the waves. He would have been all over the placehad we let him. Then we headed home. Since we have been home we had a family cookout..Note the wonderful cake from Rick's bakery... I have been having cheer and taking ANOTHER class. B went back to work this week. We bought Luke a blazer. It is used, but I think it is a cool first car...He leaves to go to Dallas tomorrow. While he is there he will go to a baseball camp at texas tech. Gage is growing like a weed. He is saying abc's and counting (even in spanish) a little. He is funny and is loving having his daddy home...

Hope all is well with everyone... I posted a few of my fav pics... Enjoy!

I can't believe it has been a month...WoW

Hey Hey Hey

just a quick update. I leave Sunday to go to mom and dad's. Then Monday I am heading to Camp Shelby to get B. We will leave there and head to New Orleans and Destin on the fourth. I am excited... my soldier boy is coming home...j

Fun in the sun

I took the boys to take pics this weekend at the battlefield in prairie grove. We willhave to go back again to look around. It seemed pretty nice.

I have been working at Vista and with my cheerleaders. They are a fun group of girls. So far, so good...

Luke is done with school. His schedule is tough next year.... needless to say he is loaded... pre ap physical science, AP Us History, spanish, speech, Pre Ap Alg 2, Pre AP English, and then baseball at semester. He was also in Anatomy and Physiology, but we got him switched to East... he has been driving more lately and is getting better.

Gage is just a hoot. He has a sock monkey that B sent him named "boots". This weekend, he has boots sitting at the table, feeding him... then he had to put him in bed for night,,night... last time I checked boots was at the table reading.... he is something else... he like to swing with Luke pushing him...

Oh well, two more days of Vista school....then freedom...

22 days and counting for Bryan... Yippee..

take care, JB

rain, rain, go away!!!

Does it ever really stop raining??? goodness, we have had a ton of rain... and I don't like it...
Well, I am official so I will give details...I am the new resource teacher 5 and 6th grade at Prairie Grove and also the Junior High cheer coach... I am excited. They do a lot of inclusion and the lady that I am replacing said I will only have about 8 kiddos next year.. with very few pullouts..WOW..I can't imagine.
Anywho, I am planning my classroom, going to Lit Lab in Searcy this summer and starting my cheer practice. I conditioned the girls yesterday. Most of them have never ran before, so this is going to be an experience. They are all super sweet and seem super excited.... they say that they are anyway, we will see how that is. THe parents are nice so far. This is just new to me, because they haven't ever really had anyone that practiced during the summer and definitely prolly not anyone who is as OCD as I am about cheer... oh well, my friend Julie told me I was going soft already because I left out a few things in my conditioning routine...they just didn't have the bleachers I needed them to run.... or boxes to jump...I don't think I am taking it too easy on them, but I am excited that they seem ready to have a "coach" not just a sponsor...
Luke has 3 technical days of class left. They get out early during testing and he gets two exemptions, so he only has 4 semester tests... downhil slide...
Gage is doign well, just has a little personality on him.... He is funny and sometimes has a "devil" laugh...I think he is very mischevious..... HMMM
Bryan has 30 days and counting... technically like 29 days.... sometimes it seems like these days are just flying by. We will pick him up at Shelby, head to New Orleans and Destin for a few days and then come home... I think we will prolly do a cook out at the house when we get home...
oh well... only a few more days in the Vista school year. THANK GOD... because at the rate this place is going I could possibly be admitted... oh well, positive thoughts...downhill slide..........
OH well, peace and love JB
