Jenks Platinum's 1st Game of the Season

Lil' Miss 5th Grade Cheerleader :-)

Our 1st game of the season landed in good ol' Muskogee, OK

It was about 115 degrees

The girls did a GREAT job considering the game was delayed by almost an hour and the sun was scorching hot

Ella's new squad is full of sweet girls ~ had a hilarious time carpooling with the Martinez's to the game...let's just say our 45 minute drive home turned into almost an hour and a half!

(GPS systems stink sometimes) :-<>

 This was a new cheer, and I loved watching each girl get to come out and do a stunt of their choice

So proud that Ella went from not being able to do a somersault last year...to being able to do a round off now. Yay!

The End of the Game Football Player Run!

 The boys played awesome and made their 1st win!

Go Jenks Platinum!!

Goodbye Summer * Hello School Party

Ella asked before 4th grade even ended, if she could have a Swim party with her friends over the summer

So...after a very busy summer...a *Back to School* Swim Party it was! 

We literally held it 36 hours before 5th grade started. :-)

Every friend Ella invited was able to come...which was such a blessing!

We had Riley, Kate, Caroline, Talya & Reese ~ all such precious girls!

The cheesy side of me came out a bit in the snacks we served...

and the S'mores Brownies that she's been asking for...

and man, they were scrumptious!

The girls had a blast going back and forth between the pool and the trampoline

We also pulled out the Glow Sticks for some night time fun!

and of course some party favors at the end...

"5th Grade is Going to Rule

when it comes to friends, thanks for always measuring up"

18

Today is the day that I celebrate the best thing that happened to me in my life…a boy that I dated for 6 years asked me to marry him. Our Wedding Anniversary is my most favorite thing to celebrate. A beautiful gift that God created for him and I…a gift that has brought more joy than I ever thought imaginable. I deserve none of it, but because of God’s immeasurable amount of grace & love I am showered with blessings from this gift. Our story is the greatest miracle I have ever experienced…and it is still unfolding. To the handsome boy that I have loved for 24 years…Happy 18th Anniversary! I love you more today. xo #myforeverlove

I came home from a very busy day of JBF pre-sale, my first Guts Girls High Tea Brunch, and a few errands to this...I'm calling it some "Island Romance" hee hee 

Red Roses, new Tennis rackets for my love and I, our new Z Gallery Paris flutes, and a bag with something fun to open tonight on our date

*Cheers to the Best 18 Years of My Life!!!!*

Big G had set the agenda for the night...our first stop, 'The Tavern" in DT Tulsa

(I LOVE surprises...so he's started planning our dates. I'm just along for the ride! Our 2nd stop was Glacier Chocolates for my 1st dark chocolate haystack - soooo delish)

My new bling...such a fun reminder of our amazing trip to Paris with A and G

"Oui, Oui...uhhhh uhhhh uhhhh" :D

My sweet man also had my favorite Merritts cake waiting at home in the fridge...Chocolate Raspberry Ganache - yummmmm

We enjoyed it with our fab four the next day after church :-)

A perfect end to another perfect Anniversary Celebration.
