So this is why some of you have not heard from me in a while.......
Back in August, I volunteered to be historian for the JV Cheer team. I had an idea of what my duties were....take pictures and put together simple photo albums for each girl at the end of the season. Little did I know that that would entail alot more. In total I have done 23 of these. Cutting, pasting, more cutting, more pasting, glueing 24 individual rhinestones on each album which totals 552! Not to mention the over 800 pictures that I had to print out and divide up amongst the girls. Now all I have left is to tie ribbon around each one and I'm all set for Wednesdays Cheer Banquet! I wanted to add something on the inside for the girls so Ali wrote a poem about cheer.....some of it is stuff only the girls would get but it's still pretty cute.

He cried for about 20 minutes and is now sound asleep. Should I dare go back if I find one tomorrow?
AJ update: scored 4 out of 8 goals last week in roller hockey! He owned that game!
Ali update: tryouts for cheer are next week and she's working on her tan
Ryan update: He tried growing his hair out but Ryan has really thick hair so instead of it looking really cool, he kinda started to look like a chia head.....his head just gets bigger and bigger! So tonight I talked him into shaving in...not too short but shaving it none the less. He also worked on his tan this weekend at the beach thanks to our 98 degree weather. Also, we found out last week that he is allergic to wheat, soybean, corn, and walnuts....fun!
Doug update: leaving for Chicago in the morning for an investor meeting. Home on Wednesday....things are looking up! :-)
Laura update: all of the above since right now THAT is my life!

The albums came out AWESOME! I must admit, I'm a little jealous. =) And Ali's poem was really good too.
The albums look Fabuluos...the girls are gonna love them! The crystals made it perfect!! Maybe you should start the albums for next year now!!
You are a superior mom...I've done some ambitious projects, but yours rocks!
PS, I think keep trying without the Binkie, why not?
PPS, RJ also looks like a Chia Head...his hair doesn't grow long, just bushy.
xxxooo
