Fall Break

Fall Break was filled with seniors, families, wedding receptions....you name it and I took a picture of it.  Now it is time to catch up!  I love this girl and I love her family.  She is a wonderful big sister to one of my cheerleaders.  Have a great senior year!!

Downtown Adventure...

One of my favorite families!!  This momma is one of my best friends!! It is fun to see what adventures we will find every year.  We went downtown and found some really great places.  These are some of my favorites.  The baby is not in any of these but I will post more this week!

and my favorite!

I have been tagged...

Thanks to J Jo Far I have been tagged.  Thanks for the award.  

Here is my list of 6 things that make me happy....

1.  My Prince Charming.  I waited for him for a long time.  31 years is long enough to know exactly what you want in a husband and to pray for each of those things specifically.  I am blessed more than I ever thought I could be.  

2.  Being a SMOM (stepmom).  Not exactly the easiest job in the world...but I hope that I am giving it a good shot.  I have an amazing mom that I have learned from.  I have 2 great stepkids. I have enjoyed watching them grow up.  I met them when they were 6 and 8 and they are almost 13 and 15.  Lord help us!

3. My Family.  I am the oldest of officially 7...but 4 originals.  I enjoy being around my niece and nephews.  I miss them when I am so busy!   I love being an aunt.  (This is the most recent picture from Easter '08. ...my stepkids, 3 nephews and my niece.)

4.  My jobs.... full-time librarian....part-time photographer.   I love them both.  I wouldn't give up either one.  

5.  Something that has been a part of my life for the past 5 years.....cheerleaders.  I have been my step-daughter's cheer coach since she was in the 3rd grade.  I have had a lot of the same girls since then.  It is all getting ready to come to  an end.  I am relieved in a lot of ways.  I am ready to be pregnant and do all of the things that I have skipped over....but I know that I am going to miss it terribly.  Here they are.....the last group.....

6.  My iMac.  It is a life saver!  It has cut my editing time in half.  It is just so stinkin' cool...

I tag the following people...

Geneva

That's it....

The Little Lighthouse

OK....this is going to be some serious picture overload!  This was such a neat event.  I was asked by one of my DJ friends to take pictures of Mini Laps.  It is a huge fundraiser that benefits the Little Lighthouse.   www.littlelighthouse.org  

 This was one of my favorites.  He started out as a frog and the princess (his sister) kissed him and turned him into a prince!

This one ran around the track about 3 times!

Thing 1 and Thing 2!!

This is my friends daughter.  He is a DJ that I have met at a few weddings.  He was actually the DJ at my wedding 6 years ago!

The amazing thing is that this might be the first time some of them have walked this far.  The Little Lighthouse is a Christian Developmental Center, serving young children with special needs, from birth through the chronological age of six year.  What a great place!

Cheerleading

I have another part-time job...cheerleading.  It is not a paying gig but it has been very rewarding.  I have been my step daughters cheer coach since she was in the 3rd grade.  The girls are now in the 7th grade.  They will finish with the Future Owasso Rams recreation league this year.  Next year they will have to try out for the school squad!  I will miss it next year...but I am ready to move on and have a baby of my own.  I am looking forward to sitting on the side of the street at the parade instead of riding on the float with the girls.  I have 33 cheerleaders this year.  We are approaching the end of our season and getting ready for competitions.  They are all so talented.  I couldn't be prouder....

especially of my step daughter.  She is a wonderful cheerleader and just an amazing young lady.  ...not to mention...way too pretty for her own good!
