New Cheer Video

Here is Sasha's Spring Cheer video, same song new routine. They are getting better. One mom heart stopping moment but they recovered and Sasha was not dropped, thank God. Chloe has had monthly swim meets all winter and is faster than any little fish in the Cedar pond, she will be racing this Saturday so I will be sure to get some footage up by Sunday so stay posted. Chloe has even been coaching her old momma here in the pool and is pretty good at teaching me how to swim, it has been a lot of fun. As soon as spring comes we will be hitting the track.

Sasha's Cheer

This is Sasha's first cheer performance withher new team. They did great and it was tons of fun! She is quite brave.

In other news we now have a new car. 'Ruby' is an 06 Pathfinder bright and flashy. We will miss Maggie who is now in the junk yard with Elk parts stuck to her bumper :(

Dream Big!

Mark and i have returned from weekend #1 of Sam Camp (http://www.klemmer.com/)

and what an incredible experience it has been so far. This journey is set to change out entire lives and reach our biggest goals one step at a time. We are asking for support from all of our friends and family to hold the intention that we will be not just completing our goals but surpassing them.

Sonda's goals: On or before November 13, 2009, I have 21 paying clients in the family Foundation and have completed the love Dare.

Mark's goals: On or before November 13, 2009, He has completed the first Monkey Band book, 20 pages or more and had 25 or more daddy daughter dates.

Pray for us, visualize us there, give us happy thoughts, lots of words of encouragement. WE ROCK! I will keep an update of completion as soon as we do it.

Our Labor Day Weekend

What a busy weekend. We started out Friday night running the Moon Run 5K. Chloe ran the 3.2 mile race by the light of the full moon and took a gold medal for her age division. She ran it in 37 minutes and 09 seconds. Sasha walked/ran the mile with her daddy and also took first but unfortuantely they did not had out medals fo the mile.

Then we went to a family movies night in St George to see Shorts. Next came Sunday when after a wonderful and inspiring church bible study we enjoyed a relaxing and fun picnic at Yankee Meadows. The girls had fun exploring and the dogs fell in the creek it was great.

Monday morning bright and early Sasha was lined up with her cheer squad to walk in the Parowan Labor Day Parade, of course she was the cutest one out there and looked just like a bright shining star. We will finish off this great long weekend enjoying dinner with friends.

Back to School

It is unbelievable how beautiful these girls continue to get. Breathtaking. Sasha started that 1st grade and Chloe is now a large and in charge 2nd grader. The first day held a few challenges but we are now off and running. Here comes homework, spelling tests, math quizzes, and of course girl drama! Wish us luck.

I am a business woman

After nearly 5 years as a Child Protection Investigator I have decided that I can serve myself, my family, and my community much better offering prevention to child abuse rather than intervention.

Here is a look at my new home office. It is cozy, homey and absolutely PERFECT. The girls' art center is sharing the corner of the room and they love working on crafts while I am busy at my desk.

Be sure to check out my newly built website as well. It is my first website so I am open to any and all suggestions. http://www.yourstrongfamily.com/

Two more days till back to school, I will be sure to post some great first day of school pics.

Fun Family Times

What a lucky weekend, we had Great Grandma Dottie from Pennsylvania, Grandma Kathy from Montana, and Uncle Mike, Aunt Kris, Aime and Jessica from Arizona. We went to Duck Creek, sat by the fire, lit off fireworks, and laughed A LOT. It was really wonderful to have family together. Hopefully we can make it happen as often as it should. If not then we have tons of pictures to remeber this great weekend.
