My Little Mini Me

Are you sick of cheerleading posts yet?
No?
Good, cause I have a ton more.

This is me a few years older than Riley is now.

Do you think we look alike?

It's Wednesday.

It's Wednesday. I don't really have anything to say. I'm extremely tired. Riley cheered in one of the starter bowls tonight and got a metal. I'm still waiting for the season to slow down. Not that I don't love it, I just need things to slow down a little bit. I need to go to the grocery store too. Although I do feel a little creative when we haven't gone to the store in a really long time, like a month, and I can still pull a dinner together. We go for things like milk, and bread, but haven't been for much else in a REALLY long time. It also made me realize that we have a lot of food in the cabinets. Now the only things left are about 500 jars of peanut butter and 300 cans of salmon and black beans each. I can't do canned salmon. Ew. The bones creep me out big time, although they are packed with calcium and very good for you! The end. I guess I had a lot more to say than I thought.

Competition

It's hard to believe that my little baby had her first cheerleading competition this Saturday!

I'm forever proud of her and the other girls on the squad for their performance and all their hard work!

The day was very emotional for me. My mom was never able to make it to my cheerleading competitions when I was little, so it was really important for me to be there for Riley. I doubt she even realizes how important it is, but I understand and am grateful that I got to share this experience with her.

Here are the pictures that the photographers at competition took! The DVD will be available in a few weeks, and I will post their routine when I get it!

I'm so proud of you baby!

Go Lions!

Cheer Party!

Fall Break!

It's Fall Break!!!! I will be sleeping in (till like 8am if I'm lucky), snuggling my babies, and working on my fifty nine page Community Health Nursing assignment... 

It's Mamarazzi Monday with Ann Maire at Household 6 Diva. I have been taking pictures like crazy this week and have about 6 six SD cards floating around here somewhere, but until I fine them, here are a few of the sweetest pictures of my 9 month old and her big sis!

I love the many faces of my sweet little babes!

Photography Project Two

My Photography Assignment Two was to take a portrait of a person at least 18 years of age. That was pretty much all the criteria that was given, which made it challenging for me. I don't like to think more than I have to, and when options are left open, one has to think. I think enough already though, geeze! These are my favorite photographs that I shot of my friend Candice, the middle left is my favorite.

Which one do you like best?

night before competition!

'Twas the night before Competition, when all through the house

were cheerleaders screaming, cheering, and ready to bounce

The curlers were placed and  hair sprayed with care,

In hopes that the trophies soon would be theirs

The girls couldn’t practice, all giggly instead

While visions of toe touches danced in their heads

Smiles, jumps, rolls, and cheering machines


Good luck to all, and to all a good routine!
