Another Meetup I joined.

Well I decided to join 2 meetups instead of just one. The one I joined for Moms starts tomorrow at Imagination Station which I am very excited about....now if Grant can just get rid of that cold. Grant has the "summer" cold that's been going around so he's been really snotty and sneezy. The second group I decided to join is called "It's a Girlfriend Thing" and they are meeting for coffee at Rembrandts this Saturday and it's basically for women looking to meet new people and make some friends (which is what I really really need....some good ole' fashion girltalk. I'll let you know how everything pans out but really looking forward to both!

Mom's Outing

Went to get my haircut on Saturday afternoon and colored and got into a conversation with my stylist about a website called meetup.com and basically you plug in your zip code and your interest and it gives you a bunch of local meet groups according to your search in your city. For example I searched moms group and it pulled up about 4 local groups here in Chattanooga that meet every week. These groups are a chance to meet other moms and give your kids a chance to play (kind of like a playdate but with some adult conversation thrown in!) So my first meet is this Wednesday at "Imagination Station" which is a giant playground for children in a really nice area...so we'll give it a try. I'll let you all know how it goes.

THE LITTLE EXECUTIVE

These were also cute that we decided not to get but got them on CD. All he needs is a phone up to his ear and a little assistant taking notes for the next business meeting! LOL

One Year Pictures

Here are some pics of Grant we got on CD that we didn't get copies of but thought they were too cute to not get on the CD.

HALF TIME DANCE ROUTINE

Rach's Half Time Dance Routine......Beyonce Remix...."If You Really Want It.....Then You Need to Put a Ring On It".

CHEER CHEER CHEER....BEAT THOSE HAWKS...AND WE DID!

Here is a couple of Rach's cheer/dance routines. (Notice the picking of the wedgie!....lol)

She's a great CHEERLEADER!!!!

Our First GAME!!!!!!

WE BEAT THE HAWKS!!!!!!

Well we won last night and Rachael cheered great. She did a good job (if she would just keep from picking her wedgie the entire time in between cheers it would be perfect!) I loaded her up on carbs/starch before the game (spaghetti) and afterwards we had brownies. Grant did pretty well during the game (a little fussy at times as it was hot at first when the sun was still out but then got much cooler as the night wore on).

Rachael's First Day as a "MIDDLESCHOOLER"

Well Rachael had a great day on her very first day of school as an official Middleschooler!
She has Cheer practice everyday this week until 5:30 (so it makes for a very long day at school-she is literally there from 7am until 5:30...that's life in the fast lane for ya!) She has been very excited to start school and I hope she keeps the motivation and momentum going. I managed to volunteer myself to find 200 cups that hopefully one of these fast food chains will give me as a donation for their very first game which is next Tuesday for the concession stand. So between here and there I have to put my saleman hat on and beg for cups!lol Grant is a maniac as this has not changed much since he has been walking. Oh yeah.....my husband got us tickets to go see Keith Urban in concert in Knoxville on August 28th for my birthday (it's what I had asked for....something he and I could both do together....so we'll be rocking out with Keith in a couple of weeks...and I can't wait!

Rachael's Birthday at Nana's and Papa's

Well we had a good weekend celebrating with family Rachaels's big 11th birthday! Rachael had asked her Nana to make a monkey cake for her birthday. We had fun visiting with Grandpa Mecomber and Joyce. Rachael received lots of money from cousins (wish I had that kind of money...lol) and stuff for her Nintendo DS.

GO CHARGERS!!!!

Rachael is extremely excited about starting middle school (Brown Middle School) and yes you guessed it....she is officially a Cheerleader for Brown Middle School equipped with every ribbon, bloomers, warm up pants, pom poms 5 different uniforms and cheer shoes plus plush purple bag (with her name on it) and the jacket (with her name on it)....it's like "Grease" meets Brown Middle School....but she does look awfully cute....check her out!!!!
