Celebrating Weekend

We had a big weekend!  Friday night grandma and pa came over for dinner and a movie!  We watched Rise of the Guardians and ended the evening with pa reading a bedtime story.  It was a good night in!
Saturday was my last Upward game for the season.  I had a big crowd to cheer me on and I loved every minute of it!!  Uncle Adam, Grandma Donna, Uncle Lawrence, Evan, Levi, Grandma, Pa, Grandpa Joe, Grammy, Aunt Ruthie, Aunt Clata and Uncle Bob all came to watch as we performed all our dances.    Uncle Adam even did the chicken dance with us.
Sunday night was our Upward Celebration.  It was AWESOME!  They announced all our names and the cheerleaders did a dance.  Then we watched a man named Dan Meyer who is a real life sword swallower!!!  You would not believe everything he could do!!  He has been on big television shows and is in record books and everything!  His act wasn't for the faint of heart!!  Mommy thought it was kind of gross.  Grandma Donna thought so, too.  I thought it was soooo cool, and so did the rest of the cheerleaders and basketball players!   I got his autograph after it was over. 
It was definitely a great weekend of celebrating!  I told mommy and Grandma Donna I am not happy Upward is over until next year, but I am happy that I'll get to spend a little more time at home.  Thursdays have been very busy with school, swimming and cheerleading.

Three Hour Party

Today was a fundraiser day at Chuck E Cheese for my school.  So, what do you get when you spend over three hours playing where a kid can be a kid?  75 tokens, one large pizza, a not yet two year old who knows how to put her own tokens in, 280 tickets, three dances with the live Chuck E, one five year old who gets to play with lots of school friends, two tired parents, two tired grandparents and a very punchy two year old ready for bed!  Yep, we had a great time!!!

Date with Daddy

We started the week off right here!  Sunday afternoon daddy took me to the Ball State basketball game!  We had a great time together.

Beating Stress

It has been a busy and sometimes stressful week...and it is only Wednesday!!  So what do you do when you want to leave everything behind for a few hours?  Apparently when you are the Douglas parents you tell your children you are going on a little ride.  You put everybody in the car and you head to Indianapolis.  When your children make guesses as to where you are going, you don't give them answers.  Then you pull into the Monkey Joe's parking lot and you spend hours jumping around!!
This was Myla's first jumping experience and she loved it!!  She wasn't sure at first, but by then end of our time she was a seasoned pro and wanted to stay longer!!!  We all had a GREAT TIME!
In other news, Grandma Doris made a beautiful quilt for mommy and daddy and I really love it, too!  Mommy let me sleep under it on her bed while daddy was working.  Upward Sunday was this past weekend and I got to cheer during the service!  I did a really good job and had a fun time!!  Mommy can sure tell that I am loving cheerleading this year!
