Cheer Camp 2009


Kennedy just finished running her 4th year of Cheer Camp at our house.  And this was Cassidy's first year to join on as an instructor.  It has been fun to watch her little business grow.  She had 24 girls sign up this year without even having to advertise!  They are all girls from years before or word of mouth referrals.  The hardest part of Cheer Camp is finding at least one week all four girls are home and available to teach.  Each year we have felt lucky to find even one week.  Unfortunately, that means that there are always several girls that have to miss out on Camp due to family vacations.  Everything went great this year outside of the fact that it was the hottest week of the year.  Four of the five days of camp were well over 100 degrees!  We told this girls they could come in swimsuits if they wanted and we kept a sprinkler running all morning for them to run through every so often.  Fortunately for the parents, the temperature finally dropped back into the 90's for the final Parent Showcase on the last day.



The entire Cheer Camp

The girls were divided into three different age groups and given a team name, colors and Mascot.  Then as a team they would rotate through the three different stations each day together.  These are pictures of the the instructors with each individual team.



  Kennedy taught the team and group dances.  Chandler and Cassidy did stunts and Kelsi did taught the cheers.  Then the girls would have a craft station each day as well.  They made team banners, and decorated megaphones and bandanas, which they wore for the parent showcase.
Cassidy really had fun getting to know all these adorable little girls.

The girls got to be all glittered-up by the instructors before their parent showcase on Friday.


Showtime!!!  Waiting in line for the show to begin!
Kelsi Clanton, Cassidy, Chandler Roberson and Kennedy
The parents love watching the showcase.  The dads get off work, grandmas come to town and video cameras are a rolling! The only complaint we ever hear is that they wish the could do it more than once each year!  Congratulations Kennedy to another successful year of camp!

Like I told Kennedy, she has such a keen mind for business, that soon she will also be running her own dance studio. Also, we have enough of her little girl cousins here in Utah, that she and Cassidy could start expanding into Utah !

Like mother like daughter? Does this mean that 15-20 years from now you will still be carrying on this business like mom and the swimming lessons?

Hauʻoli Lā Hānau Scott!

Heather sends us at least one vacation deal to look at each month. In September 2020 she showed us a sale on airfare to Hawaii over Scott's birthday. We had such a fun time there in January 2020 that it didn't take us long to commit and we booked airfare to Maui. We soon realized we couldn't find any affordable lodging in Maui that also offered free cancellation. Generous cancellation policies are definitely a must in these crazy COVID times. Heather found a good deal on lodging in Kauai so we changed our airfare from Maui to Kauai. Yes! Everything was finalized! Well that was until it was declared that all visitors to Hawaii would be required to show a negative COVID test, from one of their approved testing sites, to get off the plane in Hawaii. That was discouraging so we then changed our plans and flights to spend the week in Cancun. Finally we knew where we would be spending Scott's birthday week! Or not. With just a little over a week before our vacation date, the ...

So here is a look at our trip to Paris.  It might be more than most of you care to read!  I just copied and pasted emails we sent home while on our trip.  This is more for my benefit than anyone else's since this blog is the closest I have come to keeping a journal.  Hope you enjoy the journey- we sure did! View from our Seine River Cruise Day One We have the tiniest little room way up at the very top of a very narrow skinny hotel. It reminds us of the love dungeon (our first basement apartment) but it is up at the top so we called it our "love tower"! The bed is a double and you can only stand up straight in the room if you are standing on Scott's side of the bed! The tub is half size (I think they made it for Napoleon).  But I slept great. The weather was amazing! After getting in it was too early to get our room so we left our bags at the hotel and walked around for about an hour while waiting to meet up with the Parkers again. We were in the Plaza of San Mic...

Memorable highlights and sayings from 2007

January Highlight: Staying at our friends cabin up by Mt. St. Helens. Just a quick drive up the mountain and we had plenty of snow for sledding and great views of St. Helens. January Quote: Scott and I were in the car with Cassidy. I was complaining about how tired I had been. It didn't see m to matter if I slept 4 hours or 8 hours, I always felt tired. Cassidy who had been relatively quiet up till this point pipes up and says, "maybe you are going through menopause." Scot t and I started laughing and then Cassi dy admitted she didn't even know what that meant, she had just heard it in "F ather the Bride II". (by they way, we believe it is due to sleep apnea, not menopause!) February Highlight: Hosting two BYU Young Ambassadors in our home for a couple days while they performed in the Portland area. February Quote: A fter rushing to find Will's shoes before leaving to r un errands he tells me, "Befo re we go to heaven, we need to remember to put o...
