We're really busy (we say that alot at our house!) lately, and so we haven't had time to put up stories.  My mommy has 3 jobs now and some days she does all 3 in the same day, so she hasn't had time to be on the computer much. But she found this movie and remembered we never put it up for you to see!  It's from my competition routine in Joplin last month.  We did a super good job on this day, and Mommy got to get right in front to get the movie, so you can see me in most of it.  We even added little things to the movie to point to me! I've got another competition in Cape Girard-O this weekend.  That's how I like to say it. Girard-O!  We'll be cheering on Sunday all day if anyone's down there and wants to come see us. Hope everyone is having a great time getting ready for Christmas!

Today was my big fun birthday party!  I’m not quite 6 yet, but I will be on Wednesday. Auntie Cheryl decorated my cupcakes and they were SO cute! I had friends there from lot of different groups and places…  35 kids!  (A couple were missing from the picture…) Plus lots of parents and some teachers and grown-up friends. It was really nice that so many people came out for my party today.  Thanks, everyone!!!

I got another one today. My team is the winner again!  But I am VERY tired, so it's time to sleep early. We are staying in a hotel, so I hope I sleep good. And mommy does too.

It’s been about 2 years since I had to see Dr. J, my heart doctor.  I was so strong and healthy that he didn’t have to see me for a while.  But today it was time to go see him again and take a little test.  First they checked to see how big I was.  30 lbs 7 oz and 38.5 inches is what they said I was.  Mommy thinks that’s big.  Everyone else seems to think it’s little since I’ll be 6 in a couple weeks.  I say it’s just right! Then I talked to one new doctor. He was nice but he wanted me to lay on my back so he could listen to me. And I do NOT like to lay on my back at all.  Mommy is stronger than me, though, so I couldn’t get up even though I wanted to.  It was over quick, though. After him, we went next door to see Mr. Jim, and he gave me a couple tests.  One was EKG and it had lots of cold sticky things on my skin. I didn’t like that.  And since I don’t like to lay on my back, Mommy sat down first and then I leaned back on ...

Today I got to do another cheer competition. I told Mommy when we were getting dressed, “I LOVE cheer competition!”  And we had lots of fun today! I was so excited. And I did my parts really good today!  There were lots and lots of cheerleaders there, from lots of different states.  But the big news is that we won our division! Woo Hoo!  Our team got a big sign to put in our gym. I got some neat stuff to take home, too… another medal, and a super cool sweatshirt. Next weekend I have one show in St. Louis on Friday night to do, and then we go to a place called Joplin for another BIG competition on Saturday and Sunday. KiKi’s team didn’t do their routine today, so she watched with Mommy and Daddy. She was a little sad.  But when we go to Joplin, her team gets to go and do their stuff there, too.   It’ll be a fun girls trip with Mommy. This time we had 3 new cheerleaders, from my group of “extra” cool friends in my town.  I love my team! I ...

We got to see Grandma C on her birthday this year! She usually goes to have a birthday visit with Miss Karen, but this time she stayed home.  So we went to have dinner with her and then we went around her neighborhood to a few places with nice people. Wanna peek at last year and the one before?? See if anything looks familiar? Here’s when KiKi was 1 1/2 and I was almost 4. (2010) And here’s when KiKi was 2 1/2 and I was almost 5. (2011) And here’s this year, KiKi’s 3 1/2 and I’m gonna be 6 in a few weeks!! I’ve worn the same bumblebee for 3 years!  The same one, not a bigger one.  And KiKi wanted a ladybug again, but she couldn’t fit in the one from before, so we found another one just like it only a little bit bigger.  Next year, we’re going to try something new… Hope you had a great day!
