The room is filling up!!! 
 
 
Cheerleaders are practicing

 
Room is still filling up.
 

 
Holy smokes!!!!!  Look at all these people!!!
 
Our first year, first day.... granted I didn't take a group picture but this picture was shortly before the group was called to order....the parents moved to the back of the room.... and this is all that is what was left over.....
 
and now look at it.....  It's truly amazing, that it is the 4th year of this schools existence and they went from 120ish enrolled the first year to 450+ this year!!!!  AMAZING!!!  We are pretty excited to be a part of it!

 
 
Here is the girls cheer, they have worked really hard!  Click here to watch
 
So just like that.... our baby had her first day of middle school.... I think I'm going to live in denial for awhile that she's growing up on me so fast.
 
She got in the car after her first day and said "this is going to be a great year!"  she is FIRED up!!!!!

Summer crafty time

Summer started with me making the "spirit shirts" for the cheer team (a total of 13 of them), that was AWESOME!!!!  I really loved making them.
 
 
Since I'm officially a cheer mom....I'm jumping right in...I decorated all of the cheer bows too!  OMG that was a labor of love but I am SOOOOOO happy with how they turned out.
 
Here they are in progress....
 
 
More progress....
 
 
DONE!!!!
 
 
 
Back to school bulletin boards - the polka dot one - the teacher finished by adding names into the "bubbles"....
 
 
 
 
a little door décor!
 
 
One more bulletin board....the school's theme is "FROG"  Fully Rely on God.
 
 
 
More dog hanging out, she wanted me to show you....

Lots of picnics
