Baxter and Cooper



Here are some updated pictures of our puppy - Cooper (on the left). He is almost 8 months old and weighs in at 70 pounds!! His big brother, Baxter weighs 100!! (He has gained a bit of weight since Cooper came along as he has been eating puppy food.) Needless to say they are off the puppy food!! Cooper will most likely be bigger than Baxter. They are really great dogs and both think they are lap dogs and sit on anyone who dares rest on the couch!!

NY State Champions!!!!!!!!



Our amazing TNJ Twister All Star Cheerleading teams won NY State Champions this past weekend in Utica, NY!!!!!!! Our Mini (Allison and Jacqueline), Youth (Jacqueline), Senior, and Hip Hop teams won 1st Place and State Champions and our Junior Team won 2nd place and the best stunts award!! We are all very proud! The girls have worked very hard this season and it helps that they have an absolutely amazing coach, Jenna. We all love her! She is so great with the kids - she makes them works hard but really loves and respects them, too. Obviously a winning combination.

Other than that, everyone is recovering from the flu (except Mom - shouldn't say that too loud!!). Jacqueline was sick the entire school vacation, Harrison started the end of vacation, and Allison the Monday that school restarted :-( I had a bit of a cold and felt horrible, but kept going as usual. Jack now has a bad sinus infection and his lungs "didn't sound good" when he finally went to the doctor yesterday. But, of course, he went to the doctor and then went back to work!! That's my Jack!! He started his new job the beginning of February and is "having so much fun" as he puts it. He works about 12 hours a day. Occasionally we get to see each other for a few minutes on Sunday!! That's all for now!!
