Cheer Regionals!

 The girls rocked Regionals Thursday night!

I left straight from work and made my way to B'ham to watch Alexis and they placed 4th out of 11 teams so they are headed to State in December!

They were so pumped!

It made for a long day but it was fun seeing this team shine!

They were pumped to be out of school and have a 'fun' day before the competition! They didnt care they were on a cheese wagon!  :)

My cheerleader!

Doing their thing!

They got their highest score yet! Improving each time to do awesome in Nationals in February! 

Ready to get the results!

Tired...but happy!

Proud of them!

Pancake kind of morning!

 Whew, this weekend has been a busy one and I am tired!

Friday night, didnt get in bed until after midnight since the football game was 2 1/2 hrs away. By the time I got Alexis and we got home, we were exhausted! Eagles had a HUGE win and are now on to round 2 of the play-offs!

Alexis said it was a great and tough game!

Then, bright and early the next morning......we were up and cooking pancakes! We had that Church smelling something good and ready to feed the crowd! We had a big turn-out and the community showed up! It was great to see the support........once the whole town of Jacksonville woke up! ha! It was funny because everyone didnt start rolling in for breakfast.............until like 10:15! :)

They may not be awake yet, but they were ready to eat some pancakes before the crowds hit!

 We had the music going...the food ready and the crowd coming!

Two servers serving these two future Eagles............one of which...........LOVES his 'big cheerleader!' Calhoun adores Alexis!

He had to show me how good he thought they were!

Emily's birthday bash!

 We had a great night celebrating Emily!

Old friends, food and fun!

Sisters I never had!

My lovely date and I!

First round of play-offs!

 And they are off!

Cheer, band and football set off for Bibb County to play against Bibb High school tonight in the first round of play-offs!

Alexis was super excited to get to be apart of it all and ride the nice charter buses and leave early from school to do all the things before the game starts!

GO Eagles!

The cheerleaders wore the boy's jersey's today to show support! 

Getting better with age!

 Got this picture of this handsome guy from the tournament the other week!

Such a good picture of this hardworking guy!

Lily's first field trip!

 The day after Halloween......

BOY are they brave! BUT..........they are only going to the JSU basketball game as their field trip. Not sure why they havent done more as the other grades have done some fun field trips...but Lily is SUPER excited about today and wore her JSU gear in support!

Happy Halloween!

 I have actually {pretty sure the whole years I have blogged} never done a Halloween post on the actual day but this year...with it being on a Monday was tough so we were in early this year. 

Dont get me wrong.....we still had a blast and had a ton of trick or treaters...it is just that they all went home early because it is the beginning of the week and we value sleep! ha!

We had the Messers and the Rays over for dinner and then I never saw either girl again until we closed up shop at 9!

Yeah, they both took off but us parents actually sat and talked and watched all the action so it was a great night! The weather was perfection! Not cold, no rain.............perfect!

Daddy actually did the makeup this time! I had so much going on and was helping Alexis too so Lily asked him and he pulled up some pictures and made it happen! Lily was impressed with it!

Getting dinner ready!

My coworker gave me this basket and it is perfection!

Always a tradition....green brains, and bloody eyeballs! Notice the candy eyeballs in it! Cassell goes......'OH MY, there are eyeballs in it!' ha!

Scarfing it down so they could take off for candy!

Cassell cracked me up...she LOVED my 'Zombie brains' that she kept calling it! :)

Getting her Halloween milkshake {Hocus Pocus drink} before heading over to SK's to get ready with everyone!

These three enjoying theirs too!

Of course Soccer had to wear his costume!

Lily helped set everything up outside!

The girl can play the part!

Hello zombie soccer player!

The three amigos...or Pooh, Piglet.............................. and zombie soccer girl! 

The crew!

SO fun!

Brandon has a new ride so the kids had soooo much fun going around on this for awhile!

I am not sure who is scarier! I think Caroline that's under there in black! Callie cracked me up...that is as close as she would get to both of them! 

Our table on display!

My crew... :)

Alexis' crew came up! We could hear them coming from a mile away.......... literally! :)

 The Princesses and the Fairy Godmother!

 My zombie soccer star and Cinderella! They had a great night and as always one of my favorites!

PAC-MAN!

 I couldnt love this more if I tried and I love my work family!

SO fun today and love how our homemade costumes turned out!

JSU is having a costume contest.............so we HOPE we will win!

We just allll look so cute!

Carving time!

 After Nannie's celebration...we headed to my house and carved pumpkins. 

Nannie ended up having us get her home because it was so late and so nasty outside so just us and Gran and Grey had fun!

Hard at work! Grey told Tyler exactly what he wanted on his pumpkin and to please do it for him! Ha!

Tyler got to work!

Grey liked to check on everyone's work!

And....decided helping out wasnt his thing!

He didnt care for the yucky stuff!

But he loved supervising Tyler and watching his pumpkin come together!

Right about this time after the picture....Grey goes... 'Tyler, did you know that you can eat pumpkin seeds?' to which Tyler responds... 'Yeah but then you will have a big pumpkin grow inside your belly!' 

Yeah.....you should have seen Grey's face when Tyler said that. Im pretty sure he will never eat a pumpkin seed his whole life! :)

Hard at work! Alexis pulled up what she wanted to do on her phone. Then Lily did my phone as Gran free handed hers!

The final products! Greysyn was soooo excited about his! Alexis and Lily loved theirs.......... and then there's Grans. ha!

We are ready for Halloween!

Nannie's birthday!

 We all made the trek to Pell City to celebrate Nannie today!

It was a rainy and cold day...but we enjoyed each other's company, yummy cake, laughs, singing her happy birthday, Nannie's alarm going off in the middle of the restaurant, horrible service and food....but a good time besides that!

We wont be back to the Cracker Barrell in Pell City. Ugh! :)

Celebrating the birthday girl!

The whole crew!

Happy birthday Nannie!

Love love love this picture!

These two...the cutest!

Ahh....he melts me!

Happy birthday!
