DAY 533... Cheerleading Districts 2013

Finally I have videos for you of our routines!!! They aren't the best quality, but basically you can get the idea of how talented and awesome this team is! We had districts today and the girls did great!!!! They did drop a stunt in their show routine, and I didn't video the stunt group, but they still scored high enough to place 1st in Show, Pom, and Stunt. We also technically won Sideline, but we ended up with a 3 point deduction, so we placed second by 1 point. Darn deductions! Anyway I hope that someone out there enjoys this!!! Next stop State!!!!

DAYS 523-528... Boise & Salt Lake City

I have been dying to blog!!! But it has possibly been the most insane and worst week of my life, so I didn't really have time until today. Don't be jealous when I tell you that up until last night I had slept about a total of 6 hours. The rest of my days this week were spent working!!!! It doesn't help that I have a bad cold and that the education department of Idaho isn't so well organized.... but now that's over with, I have a ton of hours for this month, and now I can blog!!!!

Last Thursday we packed up the car and headed to Boise with a few of my favorite girls in the world!!!! On a side note... Happy late Valentines Day (I threw up in my mouth just a little as I typed that) from the Madison Cheerleaders!!!

It was girls basketball state and Spencer and I had the wonderful privelege of hanging out with the girls for a few days while we cheered on girls basketball team on. We had a lot of fun! And the best part about it was that Ani Kate got to go swimming for the first time ever and she LOVED it!!!! I love the water (not so much putting on and wearing the swimsuit part) and I was super nervous that she would get scared. But our little brave bunny had a blast!!!

She also had fun in her first hotel room... The lucky duck had a bed all to herself. We had to build her a fort so that she wouldn't roll off, but I think she really enjoyed being spoiled.

Aniston was only a little obsessed with our bus driver... Creepy...

The AWESOME athletic director at the high school has been wanting to babysit and play with Aniston for a while. One of his boys is in my afterschool program and is super cute and fun and since he and his wife only have boys, they needed a little girly time. Ani got to spend a little cuddle time with him during the game!!! Cutest thing ever! The cheerleaders were dying over the cuteness of it all!!!

We rocked the games like we always do and we had a blast! We actually had a ton of compliments from people about how good the girls were, so that's always a good thing right?

After we lost on Friday (sad), we headed to Utah for the rest of the holiday weekend. Don't worry that Aniston had 5 massive blowouts in 24 hours and pretty much ruined all of her cute new clothes.... But she actually slept in the car most of the time and traveled really well. But she is still so cute!!!

Ani Kate got to play with my cousins....

Eat out....

Play with new toys...

Hung out with Great Grandma...

Got a new tiny stroller (since our big one is too big for our clown car)...

Got a Big Girl car seat...

Went shopping and got cute clothes...

So did Mom...

Started pushing herself up on her knees...

Tested out pole dancing...

And did a lot of sleeping!

The best part about this trip was introducing Aniston to new foods. Maybe this explains the blowouts... She tried...

BBQ Sauce...

Sweet & Sour Sauce....

Orange Juice...

And Pickles...

She also loves Red Robins Strawberry Lemonade.... But we didn't get a video of that one.

I love that this high school takes care of me and allows my family to join me on trips like this. Everything is better when you're family is there!!!!

 Look how cute!!!!

DAY 522... Once in a Lifetime

We all know of my intense hatred of valentines day (even typing it makes me throw up a little in my mouth... Puke) but I just couldn't resist....

DAY 520... A Moral Dilemma!!!

Since I graduated from High School I have always celebrated Lent. Not sure where I even heard of Lent or why I decided to participate, since I am not Catholic, but I have done it every year since. Every year I give up the same thing... Last year I failed because of pregnancy, and yes, i blamed my unborn child for this failure, but this year I am back to giving up soda and fast food. This year I have run into a dilemma. Another thing about me is that I do not celebrate Valentine's Day. Instead every year I graduated High School I have spent my Valentine's Day surrounded by the comfort of Taco Bell. Well this year Easter is at the end of March, which moved Ash Wednesday up earlier in the month of February and Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent. Well Ash Wednesday is the day before Valentines Day this year. SUCK!!! The day before?!?!?! Really?!?!? Do you realize what this means??? This means

I cannot go to Taco Bell on Valentines Day!!! 

My heart is totally broken. I'm so bummed! But lucky for me, I have an AMAZING husband who knows how much I value this tradition and got me Taco Bell for lunch today instead!!!!

No judging okay!!! Aniston has been sick and it finally hit me. So I've been laying low and taking all of 20 seconds to get ready for the day. But that didn't stop me from enjoying my DLT. (Doritos's Locos Tacos... And yes, I am that cool).

But here is my new favorite picture of all time!!!!

I was just wanting to take a picture of Ani next to the taco, but by the time I grabbed my phone she had grabbed the taco and put it in her mouth. My baby had her very first taste of TB today!!! Monumental Moment!!!! And in case you were wondering... she absolutely LOVED it!!!!

After I took it away from her (she was sooooooooooooo disappointed) I went to get something to wipe her face with and when I got back, my clever little lady had found something else to eat...

I can already tell that she is just going to LOVE Taco Bell and my heart is so extremely happy about this! Also, can we chat for a second about her blonde hair???? Where did that come from? She has a brunette mother and a ginger father.... I'm crossing my fingers that it darkens up!!! I so badly want her to be a mini me!!!!

These pictures have absolutely nothing to do with Taco Bell, but they're just adorable!!!

My little gangster and her Daddy! Aniston's new favorite thing is to suck on her lower lip... It's pretty cute when she does it... Spencer, not so much. But I love them both so it's okay!!!!

Good luck to those of you who are choosing to celebrate Lent this year!!! Is good luck the right thing to say? Probably not. Oh well!!! Peace out!
