Ashley Gets Married

Ashley and Erik decided to go the simple route and get married at the courthouse.  The girls and I along with my parents joined them and Erik's family as their guests.

the happy couple 

After the wedding we had a nice dinner at Tony Romas.  The girls had fun and more fun with each cheery coke refill they brought in these ginormours glasses.  I was the cake cutter.  I had ribs so I got to wear the fancy bib.  And it was freezing in the sun room without any sun so I left the bib on for some warmth.

Congratulations Ashley and Erik!

Upwards Basketball & Cheerleading 2014

Upwards Basketball and Cheerleading is where it appears I need to begin my attempt to get this blog caught up.  Shelby played basketball for the same coach she's had all along and Morgan was a cheerleader on a new team with a new coach.  This was the first year Shelby played in the big high school gym and that was quite an adjustment.  Their team was kind of the underdog being over matched in size and overall experience and ability.  Needless to say, watching her games was enough to give me a heart attack while her dad would sit there and not say a word.  I wasn't able to get any good action shots of her playing.

I think she was doing the Tim Tebow here

 And Morgs looks so cute in a cheerleading uniform and isn't afraid of the crowd at all.  It didn't take long for her to adjust and fit in to her new squad which half of them have been together in the past.

Here is a video of a floor cheer.  Morgan is in the back center.  And in true Morgie fashion ends up on her rear at the end.

Call Her Frosty

We love these Little Debbie snack cakes.  And they always come in fun holiday shapes.  The other day when I was shopping I came across some spring shapes as well as St. Patty's Day.  I bought a box of the St. Patty's to celebrate our Irish heritage and these butterfly ones.

After school Morgan was looking in the cupboard for a snack.  When she saw this box she said, "I'm not eating that.  I don't want spring."  Can you believe that?!?  But seriously, this girl hates hot weather.  I don't even have to close my eyes to hear her in the hot car all summer long.  She sounds like someone having a panic attack.  She acts like she can't breathe and yells at me to open the windows.  And then we have a disagreement about how opening the windows is just going to let in hot air.  And there was more than 1 day this cold winter that she didn't mind being outside for an entire afternoon.  She loves the cold air but likes to dress in sweaters and boots.  But hates gloves cause you can't move your fingers....... :)
