Go Panthers!!

 

It was cold and misting, but we had fun anyway!  We love our Panthers and high school football.

 

 

We lost the game sadly, but we had the best time cheering on our team.

We all had the best time dressing up as Gilligan's Island!

Happy Halloween!!

18 years today

Gary surprised me with lunch at work, flowers and a ring pop. 

He's a great husband and I love him so much!!

After work we got the kiddos settled and went out for dinner and a few cold beers.

It was a fun way to celebrate 18 years!

First day of 5th and 8th

 

Let's do this 2018-2019 school year!

Cheer camp is in full swing

Cheer camp started Monday and ended today.  It was so fun to see Layla come home each night more excited than the day before.  I feel confident she found her 'thing.'  She loves to tumble and she enjoys being loud and smiling.  She's doing what she loves!!  

My heart literally broke when she tried out for All American cheerleader, but didn't make it.  I feel like she had a questionable attitude about it from the beginning, but we pushed her to do her best.  Her 4 closest buddies on the cheer team all made it, but she didn't.  I hate she didn't make it, but I also know as parents we have to help our kids deal with dissapointment.  During camp they had a tryout the last day.  She felt like she bombed the tryout.  As her parents we were there to comfort her, but dang it it was so hard to see her sad.  

I think just to get nominated was a huge thing!  I'm super proud of my 8th grade cheerleader! I think her first cheer camp was a huge success.  She's sore and tired, but happy!!

He is 10!

I can't believe this little man is 10 today.  Y'all, he really is a little man.  He's kind and polite and constantly puts others before himself.

He's obsessed with golf and golf attire.  He even purchased his own set of Oakley sunglasses with his own money. 

He loves Shark week and so he requested his Netsie, make him a shark cake.

The shark cake is perfect and even included shark teeth.  Thank you Netsie for your hard work!

Happy Double Digits to my favorite little man!!!!
