Gator Camp
Faith had a fantastic time at Gator camp this last week at UF. Once we registered, we spent the next couple hours helping the girls decorate their dorm room in a Hawaiian theme. She gained many new skills and accomplished many personal goals she set for herself. She developed new friendships with gymnasts and coaches. She was chosen as 'Camper of the Day'- Tuesday, and 'Camper of the Week' today. They are chosen by the hard work they put in as gymnast, how they treat their fellow teammates. Basically, going above and beyond. Her team, "The Fancy Flamingo's" won 1st place for the spirit award.
The video I made is pictures for the first 1:15, then has the dance they performed. As I watched the girls you could tell those who were comfortable in front of crowds. It was fun watching Faith- she really had a good time with the song.

Simple Woman
Hosted by Peggy@http://thesimplewoman.blogspot.com*****************************
Outside my window~It's sunny, but with a chill in the air. The bay is calm and smooth.
I am thinking~About all I want to accomplish in this coming week. How hard it's going to be to give up soda.
I am thankful for~Wonderful friends.
From the learning room~It's quiet right now. Monday will get back on task from the Thanksgiving break.
I am wearing~ Capri sweat pants, and a yellow tank.
I am creating~ A new blog page and post.
I am going~ I am going to kick back today and watch a movie, maybe some football.
I am reading~A Midwife's Story- the friend that gave it to me was a midwife to the Amish.
I am hoping~For this month to pass by quickly. Well, until the 23rd when the kids arrive. Then I hope time stops.
I am hearing~Multiple sounds. Music from my son's room. The Sykping ring from my daughter's room and football in the living room.
Around the house~ We pulled out all the Christmas decorations. We will start decorating slowly. We decided on a fake tree. It's just not the same.
One my favorite things~Holiday dinner's when friends and family crowd my house. The sound of children's laughter.
Plans for the week~ School, decorate the house, write goals for the coming weeks.
. Faithy and Dominic from Christmas 2008. I am so looking forward to this coming Christmas!!Monday, September 20, 2010
Faith's birthday
We had a really good time on Faith's birthday. It was her golden birthday, she turned 11 on the 11th, so I set the party for 11:00. We started her day at Let Them Eat Cake. The girls started off getting their aprons and munching on veggie's. Which was good considering all the sugar that was available later in the party. Then they all got to make their own pizza's. They rolled out the dough and put whatever toppings they wanted on. Most the girls chose pepperoni. While the pizza was cooking they set out to decorate their own cakes.
While Chef Jason was laying out the candy and frosting he was singing the song from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...who could make a rainbow. After sampling candy they set out decorating their cakes, many of the girls got very creative. Some were simplistic, while others went for how much candy can they fit on the cake. After they were done they boxed them up and got ready for lunch. It smelled so delicious. He also sent out a large salad and chicken fingers. They finished up the party by singing Happy Birthday to Faith and eating cake.
Once we got home she opened all the presents. She received many gift cards, so shopping was next on the agenda. We ended up valet parking because the weather looked nasty and there were no close parking spots. The International Mall is amazing. She was on a mission so we hit Sephora first. This make-up store had everything, she had a blast shopping. Then it was on to Aeropostle, Abercrombie and Justice. She knew what she wanted and the cards were spent quickly. I kicked $10 to $20 extra at each store. We stopped at Starbucks on the way out.
That evening she chose Crabby Bills in Clearwater. She chowed down on king crab and clam chowder. The restaurant brought her out a piece of cheesecake for dessert. It was a fun day with friends and part of the family.
