Jema's Best Meet!!!!!

The team looked great in their Tie Dyed Shirts, Jeans, and Groovy Glasses...look the coaches got in on the action too. Metro Retro was a great success for Jema. She had her best meet ever and did great. She won a medal for her floor routine and bar routine. She missed a medal on vault by .05. On beam she had one fall on her dismount and did not complete her dismount on her second which was over 1.0 off. She could have had her highest beam score. The NMGC Team came in a VERY close second for all-around. Also, Mark was great at announcing...everybody loved him.

Floor 8.75

Vault 8.95

Bars 8.85

Beam 7.65

Overall 34.2

Her best all-around before that was 32.625. She is working so hard and doing great. I can not wait until the next meet.

Jama's Pony Tail

I was putting the girls hair up for Jema to go to the meet and Mara's to go to the Block Party and they wanted me to give Jama a ponty tail...well...I did it...and it stayed in all night...so cute.

Getting ready for Metro Retro today!

Groovy Girl...Shagadalic...We are going to have fun at the meet tonight. The teams are dressing up the most they can in retro for the meet tonight. Level 4 dyed shirts and had a blast. Mark is the announcer for the last two session tonight...I sure that we be hilarious...yes...say it again...hilarious...he is such a good MC. Mara is staying with friends tonight since it is so late that Jema competes and Mark will be busy at the meet. More pictures to come of the competition...Straight...Stick it...Flip it...Rock the House Jema.

Jama our Bitty Baby

Well...Jama is 11 months old and still wearing size 1 diapers and 3-6 month clothes. I know...crazy! We have the last test results back that we were waiting for and it shows that her pancreas enzymes are low...which may explain the mal absorption. We are repeating the test to make sure that the results are the same before we start any type of treatment... so we will be awaiting the new test results.

Mara's New Fire Flies Leo!!

Mara is on a non-competitive team at NMGC called Fire Flies that practices 2 hours a week. She will then move to Hot Shots ... next USA Level 2 competitive...that is if she still likes it as much...and she is good enough. I can not imagine having two girls competing and maybe three. Crazy. She loves the leo and had to wear it to the gym today to drop off Jema.

Last test results for Jama...

We got the stool sample test results back and they found nothing wrong or out of sorts with the stool samples...we are back to square one. I will meet with the Dr. to see what the next step will be and will keep you posted.

We have Gas!!!! Yes..the kind that you use in the car!!!

This morning Mark had to take Gregg to the airport...AND...ALL our stations (3) at our neighborhood had gas. He filled up his Camry and came back to get the SUBURBAN...yes a 30 gallon tank. The guy at the station said he has been going through about 4000 gallons in 1 1/2 hours. A tanker truck can only hold 4000 gallons...no wonder there is a shortage. They will be getting 3 trucks a week...it wouldn't help if people don't stop filling up every container that they own with gas...per the gas guy.

And Yes...we would normally be at church but now everyone is sick but me...I am sure that I am next. Didn't think our friends would be happy at church if we brought our sickness to them. My sunday school class would surely not be happy since they are 9 - 12 month olds...at least their moms would not be pleased with me.

What a Saturday!!! Gas Shortage Can't Stop Us!!!

We had a time Saturday...UT is not playing well this year...but we always find a way to have a great time at the games. Gregg, Andy, Mark and myself drove down to Auburn to see UT play...well we almost didn't make it...hunting for gas to get there. It was amazing as soon as we hit Alabama everybody had gas.....40 cents cheaper per gallon gas. The guys had their picture made with a celebrity...or at least in their world. Our tickets were the very last row in the stadium...but they were beside the eagle...we got to see him fly close up. Just a great time with friends. Thanks to Megan for watching the girls and taking them to steak and shake and the fair. They had a great time. However...apparently while I was gone Mark, Jema and Mara caught a stomach virus because they were all very sick by the end of the night and no one else...I have quarantined them to the bedroom.

Andy, Bruce Pearl (UT mens basketball coach), Mark, and Gregg...you would have thought we seen the President.

The eagle flying was Breathtaking.

This window thing is cool...up...down...up...down

Jama took her first flight when we went out the funeral. She did great the whole trip...she's such a trooper. Thanks to Mark for running the girls and Tammy helping with Jema. Jama got to she her great-papaw on the trip along with lots and lots and lots of other family.

Happy Birthday to Mommy!!!!!

I can not believe I am another year older... I had a great birthday. Seeing my parents, Level 4 team get together, Gregg coming in, and cake/flowers/balloons/MUSICAL CARD. You can not beat it...Mara and Mark picked out a great design for the cake and Jema picked out my favorite ice cream. What an awesome end to a hard week. Thanks to all my friends and family that called to wish me a Happy Birthday and to Level 4 singing to me.

Wow...this is fantastic...very sweet...where has it been my whole life.
