Surgery Day *Post Dated*

* Posting Date this a bit to try and keep things in order.

It was a very stressful day but she came out of the surgery really great. In the end she needed something stronger then regular Tylenol but the operation was a success. They also did allergy testing while she was under general - and my poor baby. I am disappointed in the fact that the cheer gym that is suppose to be like a family did not call to see how she did even though there is the last competition of the year on the 8th. Neither did hubby's work nor did our few so called friends in the area. Perhaps I expected to much? I just thought that naturally they would call. We're all suppose to be a family here while we're all so far a way from our other families. Enough this is to depressing.

Hubby and I did not do her any favors in the genes we passed on to her. We now have a whole list of things she's allergic to but are lucky in the fact that while she has inherited my green and growing bit, if you know me you know what I'm talking about, she isn't allergic to any foods which I am very happy about. Unfortunately she is allergic to the cat. The good news is that they can give her some kind of allergy drops - not shots - so we can keep him. Yeah for Smaug. The poor up a tree cat that was rescued in 98. Speaking of Smaug seems like he's learning to accept his sister - if a recent snuggling session on the wash pile is to be believed.

Competition photos

Trying out a slide show since my good friend Mandy uses them so much and they look great. Hope this turns out for me.

Goof balls



Is there any more to say then just two sisters being goof balls in front of the camera?

Run through


Ok so some of the pictures aren't the best but here's a few from last night's extra practice run through. The squad looks pretty good, and I'm excited to see how they do on Sunday. The stunts looked awesome last night. Keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to take pictures at the competition - I've asked and looked on the website and so far I think cameras are going to be allowed.

Gwenie's Camera


Gwenie is very proud of her camera and is constantly taking pictures with it. I'm trying to keep up with her on downloading and saving them all. Last night I surprised her by making a pink beaded neck strap so she doesn't have to worry about dropping her camera. Plus it's pink and all who know Gwen know how much she loves the color pink.

For the interested parties the camera is a Nikon coolpix L11 6 Megapixels, 800 ISO, 2.4 inch LCD, 3x Optical zoom.

Feeling creative and loved



Keeping my fingers crossed that it goes through this time. Here's a little example of me feeling a bit creative and going crazy at a new bead store I discovered. The first picture isn't the best but those are real garnets with a garnet colored crystal and jet black beads, it's for my mom. The green necklace is freshwater pearls with crystals and a large stone pendent. And then mine is purple and white pearls with crystals and a purple stone. And the last picture is a close up of my new orchid. Yes it really is that lime green color and I love it! The blooms are huge and I've never had this type before. Looking forward to learning more about it.
