Monday, November 12, 2012. 2012 Homecoming and a Little Birthday Action. Upon returning to "the 904", I was slung into the Three-Day Homecoming Triathlon. My first day home was the parade. How blessed I am to have great cheer parents, cheer coaches, and dance parents that will help me out. The homecoming theme this year was "Around the World". The JV Cheerleaders chose "Where in the World is Waldo? As their float theme. The looked SO CUTE! Look at the shiny blue pants they found! It was a fun game, thoug...

The Purple Palace: November 2013

Monday, November 11, 2013. The Last 2 Weeks - Part I. I'm going to try to do a little catch-up over the next few days. We have had about 2 weeks of intense activity and we should "quiet down" now for a week or two (hahaha - I say that to convince myself that it's not too bad). Travis is off to Detroit permanently, except for when he's here. So, here are some things that have happened:. Maddie used to sit and give Kyle dirty looks during Rozzie's and Morgie's lessons. Last Saturday as I taught a pillowcas...

The Purple Palace: February 2013
http://mypurplepalace.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 22, 2013. When I started working at FIHS, I was very surprised to find out that they still did a beauty pageant in the hight school. As I've gone to see the pageant now for 10 years, I've seen that it isn't so much a beauty pageant as it is a fun experience for these girls to challenge themselves and have a bit of fun dressing up! It is a pretty big deal in all the schools. In the past few years, the dance team has provided the winners of the pageant, as well as the 1st runner-up! I had ...

Thursday, May 29, 2014. Let's Move on To MARCH MADDNESS. As I said, February was great and fun things happened. My JV Cheer team won at Nationals and my varsity team came in 3rd (which is really fantastic - see the title). March was more fun, tho. So they danced another day! Maddie helped out with makeup.

The Purple Palace: June 2014
http://mypurplepalace.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 10, 2014. I Forgot To Mention! Last summer at dance camp, Maddie auditioned to become an "All-American". She had to learn a dance and then audition in front of the entire camp. She passed the audition and received an invitation to dance in the London New Year's Day Parade! After discussing the tour, we decided to allow her to go! In Orlando ready to go! Meeting friends on the long plane ride. I remember seeing this first picture posted and thinking, "Wow! And she made it! Finally it was New...

Not Calm (dot com). Wednesday, October 21, 2009. Don't forget the Arnica Montana; that's important, too. So I have been thinking a lot about this post that Kate wrote a few days ago. 0160; She wrote it in response to this other one.
