Cheering for Liv while she cheers

Liv is cheering for her school again this year, and new this year her school's 4th graders have a football.  Giving us something to cheer about.  So, Saturday mornings we cheer Liv as she cheers on the football team. Kingsley and Josie are especially encouraging of their big sisters....

Liv Turns 8

Well, I have an 8 year old on my hands.  Liv turned 8 on September 24th, and we had our 3rd annual slumber party.  The cupcakes on top were the cupcakes that I made for Liv's class, and she choose strawberry ice cream cupcakes for her party.  Also, you can't really tell, but I loved her candles that spelled her name.  Anyway, we had lots of friends and family for the party, and then 6 girls all together spent the night.  Fun was had by all, and the girls were super proud to have set a new late night record.  Liv reported that they went to sleep at 2:37 am.  Perfect.  I also included a picture of the McKee's because Daddy and Baby McKee are making the same exact hilarious face.  Kris--feel free to snag that!  So, the birthday was a success, and Liv has complete her thank you notes.  Thanks to everyone that helped us celebrate!

Well, September slipped away...

I  had been doing so well with blogging as events happen, but the end of September was crazy busy!  My birthday was the 19th and Kevin planned a big surprise dinner with 20 friends--so, so fun!!  We ate at Shogun--where I got to not only wear the chef's hat, but also go behind the grill and do some of the tricks they do.  I nailed the trick where you toss an egg up with a flipper thing and then catch the egg on the side of the flipper to crack the egg.  There's a video of that on YouTube somewhere...I forget how Kevin tagged it.  After dinner we went dancing, where fun was had by all.  Especially Sherry, who just wanted her dance moves to make sense with the music (hey Sherry, this is your first blog shout out--hey there!).  Saturday night Kevin and I went to see a movie and then Sunday we had some family over for a small cookout.  I wish I had more pictures of the weekend--such good times!  

Next up was Liv's birthday, and Liv is cheering now...these blogs are hopefully coming soon....
