The best pep rally yet!

 They had a good one today!

I am glad I was able to make it!

Lily and allllllllllll the Screaming Eagles got to go to this pep rally too so it was loud and fun!

The theme was Black Out so it was all neon and black lights and glow sticks!

Alexis did a great dance and a great stunt! 

So proud of her!

Top right...close to the very top of the bleachers, there is my Screaming Eagle!

The crowd was excited and loud!

GLOW!

Then the lights went out!

Time for the cheerleaders!

I did not know the song but apparently the entire gym did and they were singing along.

Look! She really does shine!

Living their best life!

Time for a PIE in the face!

The cheerleaders made these megaphones and were challenged to not talk the whole day. Well..........uh....Alexis didnt make it past first period! Sara Kate (right in the middle) got to pie Alexis! So that meant, she talked to SK first! :)

All the whip cream!

Cracks me up! SK was nice to Lex............some people got it alllll over the others!

Fun pep rally!

Soccer, soccer and more soccer!

 Lily has been in full soccer mode this week with three games!

She is loving this season, they played Oxford at home last night and they beat them again! 7-3!

She is now a midfield position player and LOVING it and it is a perfect fit for her!

She gets in on the action, can defend too and then try and score some also. She made some really great passes last night and just played so well!

I think this is the 1st year that it has all come together for her and she is thriving!

It was a cold one so I ended up watching the last portion of the game from Tyler's truck and because I was so chilly, I didnt take any pictures either! Oh well! She played great and they won, that is what counts!

Ready for the game to begin!

Lily's soccer world!

 Lily is loving this soccer season.

It has been the best one yet for sure.

They are playing so well together, actually scoring some goals, not all clumped together but playing positions..............

and winning!

ha!

I am behind on blogging but Monday night Lily had her soccer game in Oxford. Talk about nice fields! WOW!

They came home with a big win!

Now, on to another game tonight too!

She is on a big team this season since she moved up in age. She loves playing with this team. We are getting to know all of them because she has only played with like 2 of them in the past.

My pictures I took turned out so bad! But..........maybe you can see her out there!

The rest of our weekend!

 The weekend was pretty low-key since we have had such a busy week.

We had the game Friday night and then Saturday was lazy before Sunday was Church and gearing up for a new week!

Our girl out there having the best time living her best life...making sweet memories! I hope she looks back on these times with a big smile!

My two Fall Church looking girls ready to have lunch!

Wrapping up HOCO week!

 We had the Homecoming parade and the game to wrap up this week! 

Whew, it was a lot and I am tired but it was a great week!

We had a big win over Ohatchee to seal the deal!

Both girls had fun dress up days all week! Ranging from college team day to ice out the Indians! On Tuesday night....our house got rolled! Totally didnt expect this since everyone says..........Jacksonville's Seniors and Juniors only do 'Junior-Senior' Wars...

Well, I heard some rumbling outside but didnt even think to look and just thought it was that they were up and down the streets since it was what the week is about. Well, it was a sad excuse of a rolling...they could have done a better job but hey, we didnt have to clean up much! ha! They spelled Alexis' name out in ketchup on the drive-way. Yeah, it is still there. Not coming up for awhile! We will have to get a pressure washer for that and hope that gets it up! All fun tough, Tyler didnt have a come apart, which I was shocked about!

Pitiful! ha! I need to teach them a thing or two! :)

Alexis found out that the some Juniors did it and then some Freshman were with them. Everyone says....its because she is well liked. That made her smile! :)

The Freshman float getting ready to go! We needed two 'scared Indians' Javain and Ray fit the bill!

Some Freshman cheerleaders in front of their Freshman float!

Here comes the float! So BOO, they got 3rd place! I just knew they would win! The Sophomores won!

Here come the cheerleaders and football!

This crew got alllll the candy! It was a great parade!

It was an outside pep rally since the parade was around the Jville Square. The cheerleaders got to be on the stage! 

Such a HUGE turnout! Love the school spirit!

Lily's picture day!

 So beautiful!

My little one is not so little anymore!

Lily's first soccer game!

 Lily had her 1st soccer game of the season last night and they looked good!

We dont know many on her team as most of the ones she has been playing with in year's past arent playing. {That's usually what happens when they start getting older and realizing it isnt for them}

but

its for Lily and she loves playing and last night they came away with their 1st win too!

They actually played like a team and passed to each other and just played so well overall!

Our soccer girl!

The team! It is a big team. This is the 1st time she is in this age group so she is the youngest. It can be intimidating but she is handling it well even though being more aggressive is something to work on even though the others are older and bigger.

She is ready!

She loves playing offensive...still not so much defense! 

She loves to get the ball!

Our number 4!

But...she is pretty good at defending even if it isnt her favorite. Love watching her play even if the games seem to take forever and I do nothing but swat bugs the entire game! :)

Wordless Wednesday!

 

 

Aubie and HOCO!

 Some Homecoming week has started!

We kicked it off with the dance last night. Had float making session for 3 1/2 hours today and then the whole week is filled with more HOCO!

Alexis is loving it all.

All the girls are spending the night tonight since tomorrow is PJs day to kick off the week.

I am not use to the dance being before HOCO week as I never had it that way when I was in school but....that how it goes these days at school! So....

here's to HOCO week!

BUT first, Aubie!

I have decorated for Fall {and ready for Halloween decor soon} and I had to take this picture because Aubie blended right in with allllll the orange! :)

This crew had so much fun today doing the float! I think their's is so creative! The theme for HOCO is 'There's no place like home'

So, they are doing a haunted version of Wizard of Oz. I think they will win!

Lily's friend birthday!-11!

 Lily is 11!

She has been dying to have her friend birthday and yesterday was it!

They had allll the fun!

Pizza, cupcakes, presents, playing in the basement, jumping on the trampoline, playing outside, making clay bracelets, singing, and then going to get their nails done before coming back to a 'spa' treatment and more playing.....and NOT sleeping! :)

There was only a little bit of drama.....one friend saying that she could not spend the night {after all} and this was determined at the great ole time of 12:00am!.....that she 'hasnt been on this side of town too much' so she felt she should go home. ha! {Not at all that she was scared or homesick....} just simply she hasnt been on this side of town. haha! OH....yeah...Im sure her Dad wasnt happy about this reason of having to come pick her up at the time he did!

They still woke up bright and early {despite NO sleep} and ate breakfast and spent the rest of the time playing outside until parents came!

I am a zombie right now! Between having to pick up kids from the dance in the mix of doing Lily's party and then go back to take Cash home, etc, I am tired!

All fine and worth it though!

Both my girls had the BEST night so that is what counts!

This group of girls had so much fun together!

I love that both my girls have their tribes! LOVE it!

Singing happy HAPPY birthday!

So happy!

Pearson wiped icing on her nose!  ha! She was so surprised!

Look at P's face...Lily got her back right before she blew her candle out! ha! TOO funny!

All the gifts!

Clay bracelets...........are the THING!

They were pumped to each make one!

Time for NAILS!

These two werent in the group picture above because they were called to go first!

Lily LOVES her nails!

Everyone showing off their styled nails!

Smore time!

They ate them black! Almost every one of them and they loved it! ha!

This CRACKS me up! OH....we were all laughing crying so hard because them with this on was sooooooooo funny! Madelyn is allergic to masks so she and I gave everyone head massages. It was sooo funny! They had the best time!

I thought this would help them all fall asleep. BOY was I wrong! ha! 

So many sweet memores!
