And this is what the Sheridans did this weekend.....

Ok, so Friday was Crazy Hair Day @ Ryan's school. This is one of those few moments when I will say girls are way more fun because there's so many cool things you can do with a girls hair than with a boys. Here's Ali back in 2003...and here's Ryan this past Friday.You can't tell because of the lighting but his hair was orange, blue, and green. Saturday Ryan had a baseball game and unfortunately they lost to Ryan's best friend Max's team. Ali had a cheer competition both Saturday and Sunday in LA and they ended up in last place due to some coaching errors (the coach didn't check to make sure their pyramid was legal and it wasn't). Only one more cheer competition and then her season is over. My mom left on Saturday after spending 10 days with us which was great although we didn't do as many things as we said we were going to do...aka walking everyday....oh well. Anyhoo, only 4 more days until my baby is ONE! I cannot believe where the time has gone! Due to lack of funds, we are going low key this year and just having family and a few friends with babies over for pizza and cake/ice cream....nothing major since Jack won't even know what's going on. I went ahead and turned his car seat around which was AWESOME and I officially am on my last container of formula...sniff,sniff. Actually, I know for some moms this is a very sad time to see their baby turn one but for me it's always been fun to transition into something else. Right now I am soooo looking forward to seeing Jack take his first steps, not spending $30 a week on formula, being able to see my sweet baby while I am driving, and listening to him try to sound out his first words which right now seem to be "AJ" and "Mama"....glad to be in their somewhere. For those of you that are wondering if I would ever blog about his foot again...his foot is doing great! He now just has to have vitamin E on it several time a day but no wrap...just socks if we are in the sun, and tomorrow he gets his pressure sock that he will wear I think for a while to help with swelling and healing of the scar tissue. Also, our little "run-in" with social services was officially reported "unfounded" so I am greatful for that. There is nothing worse than having someone question you as a mother when you put your heart and soul into what you do. Thanks to everyone the had encouraging emails, prayers, and hugs.....it is times like this that I am reminded of what great family and friends I have!
***Almost forgot! As some of you may or may not know, Ali is Freshman President at her high school and this last week she ran for Soph. Prez. Unfortunately she didn't win and we are all very disappointed but Ali seems to be taking it well which I think is very mature of her. As I read back on this blog, I realize that this is a very depressing blog so I apologize.....on a good note, we had a family dinner last night and actually used our dining room table! It was so great to sit down and spend some time as a family and catch up.....I called it "project save our family".
