GMS Cheer - Weeks 3 - 5

Ok friends, who is ready for picture overload?! I really have nothing else to talk about, but I sure have a lot of cheer pictures to share! We have games multiple days every week & I hardly take pictures at any of them, but their cheer team has thousands of pictures. So here we go - GMS vs. Hunt at Frisco High School:

My parents actually came to this game & I was so mad that I forgot to take a picture with them. Literally, every single picture is from our team photographer. 

Next up, GMS vs. Clark at Wakeland:

Lots of group pictures - these girls love them!

And this week, was an away game, GMS vs. Wilkinson at Panther Creek:

I'm not sure what happened there - looks like it was a photo shoot with Blake & Sophie!

They always cheer at 2 games, the first at 5:30 & then 7:00 but you can tell it is starting to get darker earlier because we have seen some pretty sunsets:

And every week ends the same - a trip to Raising Cane's to celebrate with the boys!

Only a few more games left until football season is over, but we have a pretty good team, so I hope they make the playoffs!

FC Dallas Media Day

I know Sadie has been in full soccer season since August, but we finally had time for her to do her media day photo shoot last week. Her team never did it last year so this was the first time we got good shots of her in her FCD gear, besides action shots. Can you tell this is her happy place?!

I absolutely love how passionate she is about soccer & it was fun for Bryan & I to learn to love a new sport we were not familiar with. Let's go FCD!

Life Lately - September

September came & went but unfortunately, it did not take summer with it because it has been hot. We have had extremely mild temperatures & zero rain but it looks like that might change moving into October. But that hasn't stopped us from being outside & being busy. Sophie is in the throes of football season & is loving cheering. In fact, they had their first pep rally last week:

Both of the girls volunteered with Miracle League cheerleading for the first time:

They had a whole cheering section from Griffin:

Sophie had a few birthday parties:

KLife small groups have officially started back up:

Monthly NCL meetings:

And somehow Sadie always has a doctor's appointment. Fun fact, she has a few loose blood vessels in one nostril & a few years ago they cauterized the inside of her nose & she hasn't had a nosebleed in years until a month or so ago & then she started having them so often, it was super disruptive to her life. Like multiple times per day, every day so we went back in & had her nose cauterized again but this time we saw Bryan's college roommate:

Sadie is still running a lot, but she missed a XC meet because she had a morning club soccer game, so she was finally back last weekend, it was the first time it felt really nice outside:

Bryan & I have been watching a lot of college football, specifically one particular team, but we haven't made it to a game yet:

And we had a night to ourselves when we met friends for dinner in Dallas:

Finally, Sophie & I got invited to a Hello Dolly party on Friday night for 9-2-5, since it was 9/25. There were lots of pink & cowboy boots. They had fried chicken, creamed corn, mashed potatoes & cornbread. A real southern meal Dolly would have been proud of! Before the meal, she had charcuterie & she even made me my own small board with gf crackers where nothing would get contaminated. Now that's a good friend!

The girls made bows for their boots:

Then sang Dolly & took a lot of pictures. Ha!

It was such a fun night with the girls & their moms:
