Summer!!!!!

Ahhhhh, I don't think I've ever been more excited about Summer in my entire life!

We have almost every week booked with something....

I have this first week off and then I chaperone the Varsity Cheerleaders at camp in Corpus Christi, then take my Dance Team Officers to Officer Camp. We are going to take the kids to Gatlinburg, Tn. for a week, the Paul and I are going to have a mini get-a-way to Viva Las Vegas. and then to cap the Summer off, a girl's retreat to celebrate my upcoming BIG 4-0!!!!

Paige and I have also purchased season passes to a water park so that will keep us busy on our rare days off. Whoooo Hooo! Bring on the sun and fun!!!!

Good Times!!

Paige taking a cruise in the jeep at NeeNaw's. Mom definitely got her money's worth on this one. McKenzee started riding it over 10 years ago, now Paige is driving and I'm sure the Edee and Reed won't be far behind.



McKenzee and her friend Morgan at the Ft. Worth zoo during the 8th grade field trip. The other half of the day was spent at the US Mint in Ft. Worth. That was very interresting, but ofcourse they won't let you take camera or electronics of any kind in the building. Don't think that the movie "Mad Money" could ever really happen with the security they have in that place.



Whoo hooo! We are getting very excited around here. We have a 3 day weekend ahead of us and then only 3 more days of school before we all start SUMMER!!!! I haven't been this excited about Summer Vacation in YEARS! Lots of fun things planned for the Summer. I am going with the cheerleaders to chaperone Varsity Cheer Camp in Corpus Christi and in return the Cheerleader Coach (my friend Leah) is going to chaperone my officer camp with me in Marble Falls, Tx. We are going to try and squeeze several other fun trips in over the next 2 months, plus try to get alot of projects done around the house.

Spring Show!

Well, last week was Mother's Day and true to fashion, I put in an 80 hour week...but not at the flower shop this year. I scheduled the 1st Annual NFHS Sapphire Strutter Spring Show for this past Mother's Day weekend. It was a great success, my drill team girls did an awesome job...plus we had amazing participation from the Cheerleaders and lots of our Teachers. I was also able to be a very proud Momma, as McKenzee made her high school drill team debut. I've attached a few pictures of the night. For those of you who haven't seen her in a while, McKenzee has on a teal sweatshirt. The dance for the new team was an 80's theme and was to the new version on "Fame".

Birthday Week Bonanza

Well normally between April 21 and 26 we get to celebrate 2 very special Birthdays. Paul turned 41 on the 21st and Paige will turn 4, tomorrow, on the 26th. Now we have yet another Birthday to celebrat during this special week. My nephew Reed Everett Neubauer made his debut on April 23rd weighing 7 lbs 5 oz and measuring in at 18 1/2 inches long. I've included a few pictures of the various Birthday activities of the week, as well as a picture of Reed preparing to come home from the hospital in the same outfit his Daddy wore for the same occassion several years ago.

I'm Back!!!!

I know, I know...I said I would write and I didn't. It's just been a little crazy busy around here.
Football season has been awesome! I completely forgot how much I LOVED teaching high school and being part of a faculty, until school started. I absolutely can't wait to get to school every day. The kids are amazing, the faculty is more like a family, and my drill team girls and dance girls make me smile and laugh every day. One of my students, who is also a Varsity Volleyball player, chose me as her favorite teacher and I got to be introduced with her before the last home volleyball game of the year. I almost cried right there in front of everyone....I know you are shocked that I almost cried, huh? (Yes, I'm a bawl baby!) When they introduced us they also read the reason that each player chose the teacher that they did. My sweet Tamara wrote "Mrs. Phlieger is my favorite teacher because no matter what kind of day I'm having, she can almost make me smile as soon as I get to her class. She makes my day!" O.K. now I'm crying just typing that and thinking about how awesome it is to get to work with such great students every day!!!
Love ya'll!!!

Volleyball!!!!

Paige thinks that she is big stuff, hanging out with the "Big Girls" on the Volleyball team!

The team performing their Post Victory Ritual.

My sweet angels!!!

Mackee, Mommy and our Famous Friends

McKenzee and I recently had the honor of meeting Grammy Award Winning Artist Rebecca St. James. She is an awesome Christian Singer and she came to our church to do a Mother/Daughter Event. She sang, told funny stories and even had a question/answer session.
The two guys in the picture are her two brothers who recently signed their own recording contract....their names and Joel & Luke....check them out, they are awesome!
And YES......as you can see in the picture, my 13 year old daughter is officially taller than me!
