Cheer in January!

BRRRRRRRRRRR! It was a cold, cold January day and we had cheer! The field where they cheer is like a giant wind tunnel, so the 40 degrees and wind chill factor didn't help make cheer an exciting event for us this past Saturday. But they still had fun!

Baby Melissa

It's been almost a year since we welcome our baby kitty Melissa to the family. Alex and her have a special bond. They really love each other and are comfortable with each other. Here are some pics from Alex playing baby with her. Melissa decided to hop into the stroller, it looked so comfy!

G-to-the-O, Yell it Go-Go!

Alex started cheer today for flag football. She learned her first two cheers and some jumps. It was an easy first day, next week they should start cheering for a real game. Thought I would share some pics of her first day! And she is still getting used to carrying the pom-poms!

A New Year, A New Craft!

For Christmas, Alex received a sewing machine and basket from Granny Glo. She is going to teach her how to sew and they had their first lesson this past weekend. She listened to all of Granny's directions and on Sunday when we sewed together I could tell she really learned something. Here are some pictures of her and her first creation - a pillow! She is working on a little blanket for her dolls. She has slept with her pillow ever since she made it. She is very proud of her creations! We have created a monster - A CRAFT MONSTER!
