First Cheer Competition - {Norwalk HS}

 Addy Grace had her first cheer competition of the season. 

They were the only team in their division so it was automatically 1st place. 

We are pretending like they really earned it. Their squad is adorable but there is still quite a bit of work to do. Hahaha! 



I'm so proud of my girl and stepping out of her comfort zone.





I love this little lady of mine. 


OSU vs. MI

 The annual game. 

But we just can't seem to get the outcome we all want. 

Uncle Nate made sure he snapped a photo of John is blue and yellow prior to the game. 

 

John claims it was in case he ruined his clothing while cooking. 

Haha! 

Then he changed. 


Like I said, not the outcome but boy do I love my people. 

John and Nate are such good sports. Nate was soooo happy in this photo. Haha!
He said he will always watch the game in our garage. Each time, Michigan wins.

Black Friday and Hallmark Bingo

 4:30am Wakeup! 

We kept it cool this year and just shopped in Perrysburg. 

Target, Kohls, 5 Below, Ulta. 

We still snagged some pretty good deals. 

We finished up at were at breakfast by 9am. 

We all went our separate directions afterwards and met back up for Hallmark Bingo. 

Pajamas and our favorite pizzas! 



A great night! 


Happy Thanksgiving!

 We spent Thanksgiving at the Feather's!  

As always a yummy meal and I made copycat Chick Fil A Mac & Cheese. It was amazing and will now become a staple at all family functions. 

We played lots of games but this is my most favorite photo. 

Addy loves games!! She was so happy playing these games!!












Ava Kate Got a JOB!

 Ava Kate landed herself her very first job. She is working at a little local pizza joint not far from our house. She loves the money and she hates it. Because it interferes with her social life too much! 

She is working with her friends so that makes it a little easier. 


Her first official paycheck. 
It was less than she anticipated. Anyone remember the Friends episode where Rachel learns about taxes?
Part 2 down below....




Ava's Soccer Banquet {Year #2]

 Soccer season officially commenced with the banquet. 

Ava earned her 2nd year letter and won the $50 challenge with her header goal. 

This is always such a fun time! Her coach does a wonderful job. We enjoyed a yummy meal afterwards. What a wonderful group of girls. 








Anya Eloise

 Uncle Nate got a kitten and to say we are OBSESSED would be an understatement. 

She is the sweetest, most adorable thing. 

He named her Anya (this was the name of the winter storm while we were in Colorado), which was the weekend he was "matched" with her. 

I gave her the middle name. Because I love middle names!

Happy Birthday, Liv!

 I cannot believe Olivia is 21! 

I remember standing in my Grandma's living room while my Uncle Jerry shared that Lisa was pregnant. She is the same age as me and that was a very grown up thing. I remember thinking, are we old enough for this?

I loved that girl from that very moment. When she was 11 months old, she walked the aisle at my wedding. 

Her mama had alot going on so I offered to host a Birthday Brunch at my house for the family. 

We did a waffle bar and it was amazing! 

My sous chef and Waffle Queen...Addycakes








Such a fun morning!

Rest Easy, Ryan

My cousin, Ryan passed away. 

He was the oldest of us cousins on my mom's side. 

It was very sudden, but he passed in his sleep so it was peaceful. 

We celebrated his life this past weekend. 


I did love looking at all of the photos and found this one. 
We all celebrated our birthdays together when we were younger. 
Enjoy the young Sara and Ryan.

Colorado 2024

 The girls had a 4 day weekend. 

So, I also decided to take a few days off and we booked flights to Colorado! 

I like to go out at least once a year to see my Aunt Carol and my cousin, Robin. 

What we didn't expect was TWO FEET OF SNOW! 

But we made the best of it. Lots of indoor activities, one day of sunshine, many visits, In N Out, and 2 books. All is right in the world.
