Cheer Competition

October 26th, Payten had her first cheerleading competition.  It's been quite an interesting season.  Learning a new routine a few times plus losing a few girls along the way but I am happy and proud to say they won FIRST place! They pulled it together and those girls rocked it!  I am so proud of Payten and her team! They did awesome!

West Orange Bobcats

This morning Payten had her second football game of the season.  It was blazing hot just like last week, boo! The girls did really well.  They are really getting the hang of how the games go, now if only it would cool down a bit.  It's quite hot at 9a, who would think right?!

First Cheer Game & Weekend

So things have been crazy around here which is why I haven't posted lately. With school being back in session, the girls after school activities, homework, my side business, oh yea working full time, and taking care of things around the house I just haven't found the time to squeeze in blogging.  :-(  I am thinking about maybe doing a weekly post until things ease up a bit around here.  So we'll see!

This past weekend Payten had her first football game to cheer for.  It was insanely HOT!  I swear we lost several pounds from how much we were sweating.  I thought there was cooler weather during football season, oh that's right we live in Florida.  Haha.  Payten had a blast cheering, well except for the heat part. This wasn't an actual "season" but more of a kick off practice to the real season.  This weekend is our first "real" game and its a home one too, woo hoo.  I am just hoping its a little cooler out, doubt it but a girl can hope right?!

The rest of the weaken we laid low.  Worked on a few house projects.  Well mainly the playroom project.Which is coming around slowly but surely.  Hoping to have it finished sometime next week!  Ha funny, I know!  But for now this is what it looks like. . .

First days of Cheer practice!

Payten had her first official cheer practice Tuesday night.  They meet Tuesday and Thursday nights for 2 hours each night, ehhh I know.  But its a great time for me to get a good run in, so I am not complaining. She had a blast.  She did get a bit frustrated because she wasn't picking up one of the cheers right away.  Payten is one that needs to learn it the first time or she gets upset with herself.  I told her in the car on the ride home that its going to take time and that is why they have practice.  Overall her first week of cheer practice went great. Thursday night was a way better practice for her.  And now she is super excited about her first game in 2 weeks!

Low key

Our week has been pretty low key.  Luckily our summer hasn't been too crazy.  I am definitely enjoying plan-less evenings.  Although starting next week that is about to end.  Booo!

Next week is Meet and Greet the coaches for Payten's cheer team.  She has been attending a few tumbling classes and attended cheer camp last week but next week starts the real deal.  Ekkk!  Practice will be two nights a week, then a Saturday game. So needless to say it'll be a little crazy.  Since we'll be spending many HOT nights at the field, Payten got a new personalized water bottle.  Isn't it adorable?!

The hubby has been doing some traveling for work so we had many girls nights.  The girls love when he goes out of town because that means they get to have a slumber party with mommy :-)

We received Payten's school supply list this week.  It's quite lengthy if you ask me but I guess its still cheaper then the weekly fee that I was paying for her other school, so I'll take the school list.  :-)  The girls and I made a Target trip to start to tackle this list.  We are about 75% done but hope to finish the rest this coming week.  Payten has been nervous about going to a new school but after doing a little shopping she seems really excited now.  I hope that vibe continues :-)

The girls are heading south this afternoon to enjoy the weekend at my parents.  We are hoping the weather stays clear of rain and thunderstorms so we can enjoy a few days at the beach!  Happy Friday!
