Looks like I can only post once a month...maybe one day my blog won't start with me talking about how much of a slacker I am. Maybe.
Our lives have not slowed down one bit!!
Karlee has competed in two competitions so far. One in Wilsonville, and one at West Albany. They took second place in Large Division Jazz at both competitions. They qualified for the championship on December 11th at West Linn. We are so proud of her and all she has accomplished this year.
We had Thanksgiving at our house this year. We had my side of the family, with almost everyone attending except a few of the cousins. We weren't sure how we were going to get everyone in here, but it worked out great and dinner was fantastic.
We are now moving on to Christmas! Hopefully after Christmas I can get some of my crafts up here. I have done quite a few lately!

So excited!
Well I was doing really good posting. And then I forgot. But hey, I'm back! I changed my background and got ready for Thanksgiving.
As you can see by my heading, I am SOOO excited for this month. Karlee competes in her first competition this coming up Saturday. My friend Shawna (another dance team mom, mom to Rikki) & I are in charge of the food for the dancers for the competitions. It will be a lot of fun preparing the meals together and I am really looking forward to it. Lots of pictures will be up as soon as I get home on Saturday.
Also, this will be the first Thanksgiving not at my grandparents house in a long time! Matt & I decided to give them a break and have it at our house! So we will be piling my family into our house. I can't wait to start planning, decorating, and getting ready for it.
Can not wait! So much to look forward too!!

On a roll....
2 days in a row! WAHOO! Technically same day if you notice the time that I posted last was 2 am!! That's what happens when you can't sleep. You get a wild hair and decided to revamp your blog.
Lots has changed since May. Karlee made the dance team with her high school and we have been a very busy family since the day her name was put on that list. We did a TON of fundraising over the summer. Karlee got sponsors, and raised over $1000 dollars for her "account". Dance is very expensive and we are very thankful for the opportunities to fund raise. I spend a lot of time at the volunteering with the team. I spent many summer days at car washes and can drives. While it was hard work and took up a lot of my summer, it was extremely worthwhile and rewarding. Hearing the "thanks mom for all your help", makes it all worth it!!
Miss Karlee has grown in the last 5 months as a dancer. She has over come her performance fears and is really working on her showmanship. She practices hard everyday. They have practice Monday through Friday from 6-7:15, Tuesday's and Wednesday's from 3pm - 6pm and every other Saturday. She tried out for category (Jazz) and got a spot, and just last week she tried out for the State team and made it!! She will letter in Varsity her freshman year!! We couldn't be prouder! However, needless to say, on top of going to school and trying to have somewhat of a social life she is a tired dancer! And, I am a tired mom!!
Post number 2 down! Let's see if I can keep it up this time!

Starting Fresh
Whoopsy!
I have been a very horrible blogger!! My life has changed drastically since the last blog I posted. I couldn't sleep tonight, so I thought I would log on to my blog and see what a mess it was...and I was right. It was a mess. So at 2 am I started over.
I will post more after I sleep......
