What a 13 year old does with her extra time!

If you are wondering what a 13 year old girl does with her extra time, here it is. They take endless amounts of pictures of themselves to post on their different internet spaces. I know what you are thinking....what a bad mom to let her daughter do that, but they do have private spaces, much like how you can make your blog private, where only her friends can see her profiles. This generation is all about the internet and texting, so I figure I might as well let her do it with lots of discussions on internet safety. (my secret: I have all her passwords so I can check up on her every once in awhile). Here are a few of her recent ones..(she will probably KILL me if she sees this!

BIggest Loser Baby!

Our gym has this awesome competition a couple times a year- which is basically just like The Biggest Loser on TV. We have weekly weigh-ins, team competions, and big fat prize for the winner. Yes, I know I don't quite look like most of the participants, but I figure this would be a good way to...1. Step up my workouts (we have run the stairs at the stadium, run trails up in the canyon, and done a 5K so far just this week) 2. Be accountable to someone to help me get these 20 lbs off I put on in the last year and a half. 3. Have someone help me improve my diet, which is quite pathetic. 4. Meet some fun new people!
Guess what? There is a website where you can track my progress

Going Private!

I noticed some weird people linking into my Cheer Girls post, so I decided to go private. I need everyone's email addresses so I can send you an invitation to view. You have to love the internet, you never know who is out there!

Cheer Nationals!!!

We are a tad bit cheer obsessed in this family, I will admit it. Yes, I was the girl who didn't make the team in High School so maybe I am living my unfulfilled dreams out in my children but in my defense, the girls LOVE it and are just as obsessed as I am! There is never a day when I have to drag them to cheer and they are usually the ones first in the car honking at me to hurry up and drive them there. They are constantly recruiting their friends and even on weekends they want to go to the gym for free tumbling even after three practices a week. What I love about it- this is one of the very few things my girls do together where they cheer each other on and they are not fighting, this by itself is totally worth it!

Now if you think cheerleading is just a lame activity and the girls who do it are not athletes, you are sorely mistaken! Here are a couple of links to prove my point.

This link shows you some of the famous people who were once cheerleaders, I think it will surprise you..

Lastly, here are the girls performing at their Nationals in Los Angeles, CA.

When is Global Warming gonna kick in?

I know all we hear about in the news is Global Warming, but for some reason Utah didn't get the memo because it is May 1st and it is snowing here! Monday it was 80 degrees and today we wake up to this......

I think I may just drive my car a little more and hopefully that just may shorten the winters here!
