Hello February!

Bye Bye January!

We survived the long, cold and snowy month of

January.
I won't go into too many details, but we had more snow in January
than we've had in some entire winters!
Plus, the temps were at record lows for days on end!
Can you say BRRRRR!

Having two days off school for snow/ice/polar vortex helped.
 But . . . 

it was still a long and painful month!

We are jumping into February feet first!

Making it through January always, always, always

puts a spring in my step and a smile on my face!

And so does Miss M! 

I love her fun and happy spirit and joy!

We are counting down the days  - 12 to be exact --

until we head to a warmer locale.

And some fun rides!!!!!!
Yikes -- SCARY rides, I mean!

Happy February!!

The Super Fair - JV Squad Takes On the Fair!

Do you have a state or county fair where you live?

In Nebraska, our state fair moved out of Lincoln

and on to Grand Island a few years ago.

However, we are still lucky enough (is lucky really the right word?)

 to have

the Lancaster County Super Fair!!!

Maddy and I made a quick trip there on one of the opening nights.

There was one ride (besides the Ferris wheel) I was willing to go on.

It was called The Tornado! 

I hated it!

  My favorite thing about the fair . . .

the funnel cake!!!!

Love!!!!!
 

This cliff hanger ride looked kind of fun, but you lie down so I was
afraid it might be too much for me and I'd lose my lunch
along with my shoes!
 

But, wouldn't a trip to the fair and all those fun [dreadful] fair rides

be just the thing for the JV cheer squad for some

cheerleader bonding time!!

Oh yes!  

The girls were ready to take on the Fair!

So happy these girls were able to go together
and go on those scary rides!
My bff cheer mom, Kay and I, hung out [we were the chauffeurs, you know]
and tried not to
follow the girls around and spy on whether
they were talking to any boys!
Actually, we attempted not to be seen by the girls
when we were checking on them!
They shooed us off once when they caught sight of us!
Teenagers!!! :)
