Jason arrives on the 19Th, and the party can begin...miss him so much! From that time forward we will be a family unit again...truth be told I am very spoiled with my hubby around because he really does a lot! Without him I am far to busy and do far to much..I need him back!!
So off to bed and I have told myself to stay off Face book enough to blog..

Totally addicted

Oh my gosh, so I just got connected into Face book, and already I am needing a 12 step program as my friend Pam says...
It is so much fun and I am having A BLAST connecting with new and old friends!
So Halloween was great! Ty and I dressed up but of course Cade did not...it's not his gig! I did have a t-shirt made for him that says "Don't do costumes BUT will take your candy!"

Here are some pics:

Me with uniform from 20 years ago

So there you have it folks..more to come unless I can't get off FB! *laughing*

Cheering on!

SO a quick update...
Ty had a game Wednesday, but only to come out defeated...these kids were like 2nd graders..huge. We could not get a shot in. Our boys and girls played good D, but no baskets. We lost 2-0, so not to bad you see...of course cheered my heart out and lost my voice again..comes with being a sports mom!

Speaking of cheering..I am getting ready to put my high school cheer uniform on for a party tonight...I am giving my age away, but whatever! The uniform is 20 years old, and still fits...ROCK ON! I didn't have to spend on a costume! There may or may not be pics..we will see how many drinks I have (j/k)...LOL
Lots of fun to be had this festive weekend...party party party!!

Oh another thing....special thanks to PAM for getting me hooked on facebook! Just what I needed another thing to update and surf through...so any of you all on facebook...let's be friends!
K..that's all for now..caio!


oh wait...one more thing...
i accidentally sent everyone in the world a thing for reunion.com which was a total accident!!! SORRY!!! IGNORE IT AND DELETE IT!!!

My Little All Star

After practicing for a few weeks, the time has come...the first game of the basketball season. Game on at 5:15 so pre-game preparation went something like this:

* the all important "pep talk" (like I know Jason would have done)
** went potty
*** got the basketball uniform on (real uniform that is)
**** drank a big glass of milk like all sport stars do (I told him that anyway)
***** piled in the car off to the game.

Once we found parking we made a dash for the door..he could hardly wait!
There was still a game going on so the waiting was so intense...the team could hardly control themselves...
Our turn!
They dashed to the court in preparation for pre-game warm-up.
Player after player shooting their "free throws" oh so exciting!

Game on!
Ty was first string. Earlier when I picked him up the director of the school was so excited that he would start, and that it was mentioned he was the "team scorer"...so the pressure was on!
The coaches of the team switched out players every quarter. We had 2 minute quarters. Finally, in between falling all over the floor, comparing jerseys, dancing up and down, running around like chickens without heads, our team made a basket. YAY!! only to turn around and have the other team make a basket. BOO! Before we knew it, game over, BUT we had to go into overtime. PRESSURE ON! WHO was to win? WHO would make that tie breaker shot? WHAT team would come out victorious? WHO would take it all? Parents yelling, coaches yelling, kids running up and down court, time clock ticking...so much pressure....50 seconds remaining we had the ball...dribble dribble shoot was coming from the coaches...so intense. He gets the ball, he dribbles, he shoots-everyone holds their breath- HE SCORES!!!! The crowd goes wild, the team goes crazy, so crazy they forgot they still had a few seconds left on the clock...the other team gets the ball....they go up for the basket, they miss...timer goes off, and we win the game!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!!!

SO that "HE" in the story is non other than my 4 year old TY ROBINSON! The boy that won it all ( OK I can say this I am his mom after all!) okay maybe not won it all, but at least won the game for the team.
He was so excited and could not wait to tell his daddy!
SO much fun was had that I have almost lost my voice...I am totally the cheering mom kind...really, I can't keep my mouth shut! Must be from 8 years of being a cheerleader...I don't know... just saying!
Well, another game tomorrow, wed, so we will see what it has in store for Los Pepitos School then!
More updates to come!

When You Put Your Mind to Something

So in my last entry, I talked about the class that KICKED MY ASS...well friends proud to say NO MORE!!! I went back to hip hop class Monday night, ready to take on the 150 sit up challenge....YEA BABY!! Kicked Ass and took names! I was able to get through all the reps and even jumped up at the end of it all. Last Thursday I could hardly get up off the floor...Not Monday, in fact, I jumped up and cheered (to myself of course) as all the high schoolers just looked with puzzled faces. I was pumped I made it through...I was determined! I won't be able to go to class this Thursday, buy will be back on Monday pumped and ready for more! Now I know why my cousin is a tooth pick...all this dancing and moving..whew!

My public yoga classes are going really well. I had a new student on Monday, so that was great. The regulars are really excited and want more and more... We are going through the principles, and we are on inner spiral right now. Next week outer spiral...so fun! Now keep in mind these are all people who have never done yoga, so they are still learning their bodies, and how to move them....I have seen improvement all ready. It is really exciting!

Ty is on the basketball team for his pre-school. They have been having practice after school, and loves it! They begin the season next week so this will be interesting. They have been holding practice at the high school I graduated from. Being there has taken me back to the 80's (OK giving my age away) and remembering walking those halls and cheering in that gym...WOW! The school now has a new gym, but we are holding practice in the old gym which is used for PE classes. I have to say that it is a bit disheartening...the school looks really run down. I had a great 4 years there, but it is so not the same...sad! Oh well, life goes on. Taking a flashback was fun though. I was walking Cade around showing him where I took classes and hung out...he really didn't care, I was talking more to myself than anything.

Speaking of flashbacks, Halloween is around the corner, and my son TY is dying to wear his costume. He runs around the house with the mask, but I have yet to allow him to wear the full costume. He is going to be Iron Man...he is chomping at the bit!
Cade doesn't dress up. He refuses! He loves to see all the costumes, but doesn't want to wear any. Jason mentioned I should make a t-shirt that says "Don't do costumes, but will take your candy!" Oh my gosh...that is soooooo CADE!!!
Oh wait I started with "speaking of flashbacks". Yes back to that. I was convinced by a few individuals to do this, so for Halloween I will be wearing my high school senior year cheerleaders uniform. Yes it still fits, and it is intact. My mom has all my uniforms, but that is the only one that still fits. I have the pom poms, the socks, the bloomers everything. The uniform is 20 years old...can you believe it? It freaks me out to even say it! I may allow pics to be taken if so, I will think about posting, we shall see!

Anyway, off to errands and such...have a fab day!!! :)

SO I Thought I Was In Shape??

I was telling you all about my cousins dance studio where I am now teaching yoga classes on Monday and Wednesday mornings....well, she has been after me to take some of her classes.
Just a little history...I began dancing when I was two. My mom registered me for ballet classes with the local dance studio. Apparently for the first month all I did was parade around in my dance outfit, just kinda doing my own thing...I like to call it lyrical and expressive dance. Since all the other children were a bit more disciplined, my mom pulled me out and waited until I turned three. Much better I suppose, because I continued my dance career until I was eighteen years of age. I took all types from ballet to toe, flamenco to jazz. I went off to college, took some dance courses there, but decided to make my mark as a college cheerleader...but that is another story.
Back to the present: Since I really had not found a place to practice public yoga, and quite frankly I really don't kick my own ass like Christina would if I were in her public classes, so I need to find some other form to compensate. I decided to take my cousin's hip hop class....That's right you read it correctly...H I P H O P class.
I went Thursday evening, as my mom stayed with the boys. How bad could one hour class be?? The warm up great! The moves took me back to the 80's when I was in fact dancing and cheering at the same time. It was those get down moves. I for one love to dance. LOVE IT!!! I married a fab dancer (who knew for a white guy), so we are known to go out on the dance floor and bust a move here and there...I can shake what my momma gave me.
ANYWAY, I was able to keep up great with all the little high schoolers (16-18). I was moving and groovin' until we came down to the floor. The music changed, and we began the series of 150 sit ups and crunches...(excuse my language-never said this was a G rated blog) HOLY SHIT!!!! !&^%#&$))@&^$%@($&!!!!!! (those were a few other choice words that I will refrain from). As I was struggling after the first 60ish or so...it was down hill! I looked around and these girls are jammin and moving while doing there sets...no break in between, transitioning from crunches to obliques, to coming up and back down to floor while keeping legs on floor....SERIOUSLY?? I was dying!! After it was said and done the sit ups that is, I laid there just laughing at myself as these kids popped off the floor. Talk about painful- body and ego...in fact it is two days later and I am still hurting! Boy was that a rude awakening?? You can betcha I will be ready for next week baby! Yes, I am going back, and not only am I going back on Thursday's, but I am starting Monday's as well. This chicky will be able to keep up with the teeny boppers! Just wait and see. I think it will be good. Practice yoga in the am daily and shake my bootie Monday and Thursdays... what could be better?? I guess yoga classes with Christina, but not an option so I work with what I have :)
Let you know how it goes!
