Chloe Angelee Breedlove

As some of you know, we've been happily awaiting the birth of our baby girl (our first biological child) and our fifth addition to the Breedlove Clan. She arrived on October 1st, 2009 at 1:13pm weighing 6 lbs 14.7 ozs and 20 1/2 inches long.

My dream come true!

Hi all! Things are looking up right now. I just got back from a WPBA tournament in Durango Colorado. It was at the Sky Ute Casino and my family and I had a great time. My husband and I brought our eldest daughter Morgan and our youngest daughter Cheyenne. It was wonderful. I played well over all. I lost to Pan and in the semifinals, I lost to Kelly Fisher. I still feel as though I'm getting closer and closer to where I once was with my confidence. The difference is, I'm much more experienced and knowledgeable than I was when I was at my best. It's been all the practice that I've been doing. It's really given me more confidence which shows.

That's not the greatest news though. It's that in 3 weeks, October 7th, we are expecting a baby girl, our first biological child together. I have two stepdaughters (Morgan and Olivia) and two adopted (John and Cheyenne). One day, I will tell you about our infertility journey that we've endured but for now, we will just rejoice and praise God. I really stopped believing that it could ever happen. I'm so fortunate to know Angie Risen-White and her husband Jerry, who are both incredible people that are voluntarily giving us this gift. I can't imagine it. What she must think or feel to be able to give this kindness to whom, a year ago, she didn't even know.

I've really been holding back a little. With all our disappointments, there's been a small insecure feeling that this isn't really happening and something terrible might happen. I don't want to think about it. I want to enjoy this. And as we get closer and closer, I feel myself getting happier and happier.

My daughter Cheyenne named her Chloe, after the main character in "Beverly Hills Chuhuahua" the movie. I named her middle name after Angie, our surrogate and my last name. Chloe's middle name will be Angelee. I just can't wait.

Don't worry. I won't forget pool. I've already set up a schedule so that I can practice atleast four hours a day while someone helps watch the baby and Cheyenne and John are in school. (Our two eldest have already flown the coop) I've left

Summer Kids Overnight Camp

Hey Everyone! So, I have this idea. I want to create a summer kids overnight camp. I know there are alot of young players, serious players who want to become pros. But once they get to a certain level, where do they go to learn from the pros? To get their inspiration? To learn the tricks of the trade from their very own role models? Right now....nowhere. So, I was thinking, if I could use my resources to create a camp, an affordable one, that will go in the summer and be for kids at atleast an intermediate level, who aspire to become pros, ....that would be so cool. I would have classes that work on advanced 8ball and 9ball strategies, careers in billiards, the mental game, financial management, marketing yourself, etc. Wouldn't that be sooooo cool??? And if they can spend four days with the Black Widow and Johnny Archer and Allison Fisher and Mika Immonen? Ask them questions, play pool with them....I just gotta make it happen. Anyone have any ideas, want to be a sponsor, just email me off my site and title it "Kids Camp". I'd love to hear from you. I have the perfect place! Love you guys!

Exciting news all over the place

So, I'm gonna explode with excitement. First of all, I'm having a baby! Now, my beloved fans know that I have two stepdaughters from my husbands first marriage. They are beautiful and wonderful. I have known them since the youngest was about 6 1/2 years old. Of course, they lived with their mom most of that time, who has been quite consistently awful to us, doing what she could to sabatoge our relationship with the girls. Nevertheless, they are great girls and although I didn't get to raise them, we love them so much! Then, four and a half years ago, we adopted Cheyenne from birth. She'll be five in June. What a blessing that has been. To get to raise a child from birth and have all the joy ( and final say) on how we raise her. It's been so wonderful. The is the most incredible things that's ever happened to me and she makes me happy endlessly. She loves her sissies so much, but of course, by now, they are in college, as independant as ever. Then, three years ago, we became the permanent legal guardians of a young man who was 14 at the time. He is now 17 years old. A handsome and sweet young man that we love very much. His name is John and you will start to see more pictures of him in my photo gallery.

Well, anyway, George and I have been married for 13 years and have always wanted to have our own children but it hasn't been in the cards for us. We have tried naturally and multiple tries with specialists, with no success. Finally, we had a beautiful woman named Angie,and her loving Husband Jerry agree to make our dreams come true. Angie is carrying a little baby girl, our biological child, in her belly as we speak. We're about four months out. We'll expect the baby in October. I'm excited beyond belief. Some people think I was put on this earth to grow the sport of billiards and be a world Champion. I know I was put on this earth to be a mom. And I thank God for it. Nothing, absolutely nothing, gives me great joy. I'm just fortunate that I married a man that is compassionate, supportive and a really good father. I love my husband so much and I hope I honor my husband always because he deserves all my respect and love.

I want to tell you more about Angie and the baby in my next post because this will get too long and I have more to share with you (like what the baby's name is gonna be! Cheyenne named her!)

The other news is that I am playing more pool now that I have in years. My body is always sore but it's holding up to longer hours than I have been able to in the past. I'm more fit, working out more, practicing more.

I'm going to these tournaments with more confidence and preparation. I have also been working on my break and think I have found a good solution. Keep your eyes open to seeing me on ESPN this year because I'll be there! I love it!

I think the biggest thing I have to work on this year is my consistency and control on the break, and most importantly, my stroke and preshot routine. I know what I need to work on, I just need to do it. I'm very excited about all this because it's what I love to do.

Right now, I can only say, Thank you. Thanks to all my fans out there that ALWAYS support me and give me encouragement. I really need it at times. And I know you are there. I love you. Jeanette

Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Florida

Hey guys! Wow, so I've had a better year, playing very well, but OH MY GOODNESS! If I don't improve my break, I am going to drive myself crazy! I have lost in the last three events, PURELY because I didn't pocket a single ball on the break the entire sets against my opponents that I lost to. The difference between their break and mine was embarrassing. I usually break well, and I've been playing well so when I break well, I tend to win. But my break simply isn't consistent. Sometimes, when my timing is off, it can be pretty bad. I have, as you know, alot of physical problems that has prevented me from spending alot of time practicing the break. But, the bottom line is,if I want to win a tournament these days against the caliber that's out there today, I need to break. If that means working out more, getting stronger, practicing mental imagery,whatever it takes...... Wish me luck and Happy Thanksgiving! I love you.

Pacific Coast Classic

The Chinook Winds Casino is a pleasure to play in. They are so nice and I love staying at their hotel on the beach. Even with a bit of rain, there was plenty to see and shop. My daughter Cheyenne has always been with me but she is getting old enough to really pay more attention to the games and know what the score is.
Well, I finished 9th. I went undefeated and played very well. Until I met up with Kelly Fisher in the single elimination rounds. She played great but my break really disappointed me. I just broke the balls poorly the whole set. Most times I didnt make a ball on the break. I also missed a few key shots which didn't help when you are playing such a formidable opponent. I had a third and a second place finish in the last two events so I was really hoping I would win this one but I'm still encouraged. I feel more optimistic and more inspired to play and work on specific aspects of my game. We have one more event this year and I plan to win it. I will work hard, but I am also aware that there are more great players on the tour than ever and they are all very hungry to win. I will give it my all. I hope to see you at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood Florida at our next event. It's a beautiful venue and I love it there. Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers. I love you all. Jeanette

Finally doing better! Staying in Indiana

Wow, it feels so great to be in the finals. 2nd place at the Carolina Classic. I can say that Jasmine Ouschan from Austria really did play well. She is a fine player and deserved to win. I really felt comfortable at the table but when the match started, I made a careless error and she made me pay for it. The balls didn't break well for me so I didn't get a lot of opportunities whereas, Jasmine, broke great and the balls laid well for her! Oh well, at least I had a great tournament! I played well all week, stayed focus and very importantly, my husband George was there with me. As always, my daughter Cheyenne was there and my good friend and Teacher's Pet, John Da Babe Rousseau, and my old friend Dave Parry who lives here locally. What great fun! I just LOVE Raleigh and was happy to spend more time in Durham which was a wonderful community. If I had a great opportunity to move here, I would. BTW, we have decided to stay in Indy a while longer. We are still working on opening a club in Orlando, but we don't want to take the kids out of school here and we both love our friends and family here so we figure why move until we have a place open. I love you all! Thanks for having my back! Jeanette
