The day the cast came off. . .

I can't believe it's been a month since I've posted on here. Time flies by.

Today was the day the cast came off. These aren't the greatest pictures but sometimes the best photos are not technically correct. Schyler wanted a few pictures so I brought my point and shoot along. This is one of her favorite signings on her cast. I like it too seeing I wrote it! LOL! After about a week or 2 her foot started to stink, so I felt the need to write that on her cast without her knowing it. But she liked it!

Here is the cutting procedure. She thought it was pretty cool. She said it tickled a lot!

Obviously it does!

Trick or Treat!

I'm a little late getting these on here. That's why it's called "On the Run" blog. I haven't updated very well because we are constantly on the go. Tomorrow is the Pop Warner Sports Banquet and that will end the season of cheerleading. Things will definitely be a little calmer now.

Schyler decided she wanted to be a devil this year. . .what does she need a costume for right? I mean this is her normal state LOL! Not really. Costume and make up came out cute I thought (I have no idea what happened but now that these are loaded her face looks like it's got a black hue to it? Odd.)

I can't believe the catchlights I can catch in her eyes! Wish I could do that with everyone else.

Here's one of Kaylee's friends "D". They went as a bumble bee and a ladybug. K's mom made the costumes. . . so cute!
Oh yah, I forgot to mention Schyler broke her ankle playing soccer at Kaylee's slumber party. So here's the signing of the cast by Kaylee

Kaylee's boyfriend got the job of pulling Schyler around in a wagon while they trick or treated.

It's Official. . .

"S" will not be ice skating this year. It's actually pretty depressing. I'm going to miss watching "S" work on her moves and taking her private lessons; the other moms and our 1 hour chats; and the other girls that "S" has gotten to be friends with. "S" loves to skate and does it so well, but now that she tested out of Freestyle 2 in the Spring and is no longer in basic skills, we can't make the schedule. I can't get out of work a couple hours early a few days a week to get her there in time. I went and cleaned out her locker and it was depressing. We'll definitely miss the backstage events during the ice show but we'll be there this spring to watch all "S" friends.

First Hip Hop Dance Class. . .

last night was "S" first ever dance class. She chose hip hop and was very excited. Unfortunately, I couldn't get even one shot because it's a pretty small place. Parents aren't allowed in the dance studio. We have to stand in the waiting room and watch through class. All the moms were hovered around the glass so I didn't even bother to try and get a shot.

She came out of the class with a big smile on her face and said it was a lot of fun. I can't wait to see what kind of moves she comes up with!

State Fair Fun

For "S" birthday her step-sister a/k/a Sissy took her to the State Fair. "S" had never been and was so excited about going. They spent time looking at all the animals, which she loves! She said they took forever in the cow barn. I told her not to forget to see the butter sculpture. She was pretty impressed with that too. She road rides and then paid to have her face painted. It was pretty cool. She said it was not a dragon but I'd say it certainly looks like one.

I can't believe my baby is 9 already!

Unfortunately, I was extremely ill on her birthday which was the 28th. I'm just starting to feel better and able to post some of these. The poor thing took care of me on her birthday. She really didn't have to but that is just her nature to be the mother hen. I ended up sleeping all day and was able to get up and take her to cheerleading practice. Thank god for my girlfriend Sandy who watches "S" during the summer . . . she made her a megaphone cake and brought it to practice. I also had Grandpa pick up an ice cream cake for the family as well. Luckily we had celebrated her birthday weeks beforehand with her friends at Enchanted Forest.

I grabbed a few shots of her eating cake at cheer practice!

This is one of her gifts she got from Aunt Carrie! She loves science so she thought this would be a great gift especially because the Lunar Eclipse occurred on her birthday. . .what a perfect idea!
Here she is setting it up and getting it ready to check out the moon come nightfall.

Did 38 really do this to me?

Well it's now been 2 days after my birthday and I believe my melt down is over! As the date was approaching, I felt fine. I got up on the 22nd and just seemed like a normal day. Then BAM! The day just seemed to turn into one of those feel sorry for me days. I don't feel old, I'm told I don't look it either but man I was not a happy camper on my birthday. All my friends and family called me all day long to wish me a happy birthday. Even my favorite cousin (well I have 2) called me who I haven't seen or spoke to in a year probably. . . he put a smile on my face though :) Hopefully this isn't a sign of what is to come when I hit 40 because I might just need to be committed by then LOL!
