Wishing we had GJ here this Friday like we did last Friday! We sure enjoyed having her here to see all the sports last weekend.




But, we do have the day off of school today so things aren’t that bad! TGIF!

The Jets made it to the Super Bowl so it was up to the cheerleaders to make some spirit happen! Which means it was up to the cheer moms! ha! I put together and delivered porch surprises for all of the players….

and then somehow also ended making the giant run-through for the game. I can’t say I was wanting to do this but, let’s get serious, I love this kind of stuff and actually had a lot of fun making the sign…

I had good helpers too! GJ was my consultant behind the scenes and Maxwell worked on the football and it looked perfect.

I think it turned out pretty darn good! We learned a lot about making a run-through. Things to remember: the poles are 9 feet, the sign was 12 feet wide, we taped the sign to the poles, rolled it up and then cut tiny holes reinforced by tape and tied string around the poles to hold it. We ended up adding more ribbon to the poles out at the field to use as supports on either side to keep the top taught. We also put some clear tape along the back of the top to give it stability.

It looked even better out on the field behind these cute cheerleaders!!

We were all excited for the big game!


Our run-through set up was pretty awesome! Go Jets!



A little smoke and then…

just like that all of my hard work was ripped to shreds! ha!

The girls cheered their hearts out the whole game. Check out this halftime show! They took the Jets to a big victory!! Super Bowl champs!

After the game the players gave flowers to the girls! 🙂



Bringing all that cheer and spirit is exhausting.

I sure do love watching this little girl do anything that makes her smile like this!

Go Jets Go!
Samantha’s cheer season started strong, continued strong, and ended strong! She cheered for the 3rd grade Jets and they were undefeated! She had so much fun cheering at all of the games and her squad got pretty coordinated with their cheers too!






I love this cheerleader!!! She’s got spirit!

There’s only one place for an undefeated team to go….


the Super Bowl!! More on that tomorrow…
Samantha got to go to a sock hop on Saturday!!

She was the cutest 1950s girl I’ve seen!


It was the cutest birthday party where they all learned some dances from Grease! These girls are ready to do the hand jive!


Love it!
We gathered with our neighbors on the corner and were so happy to be with good friends!





The Western Weenies unite!

Maxwell and his buddies then headed over to Colonial Hills to meet up with their crew…

Spencer and John headed off to meet up with Penton and others. Unfortunately, as soon as Spencer took off to trick-or-treat, the fan on his costume went kaput!! Boo! He took it all in stride and trick-or-treated as a 4th grader! John’s blow up costume came off too so they were quite the candy hunting pair, ha!

We made it to the bigger neighborhood party and they even had a roaming photo booth! I do love a photo booth…

and I love it even more when Spence gets in the photo booth and types in my number to send the picture to me!

We finally found Frances so our Movie Star was a happy camper once again. These two did the whole Surrey loop together and got more candy that you can imagine!




We all (except Maxwell) ended back up at the party by dark and hung around for a bit…

but we were home by 7:30 to sort candy! So. Much. Candy.

Maxwell was home by 9:00…

It was a really fun night for all! Happy Halloween!
