School Spirit

Last week was homecoming for our high school and Friday was spirit day. Emillie borrowed a cheerleader costume from the neighbor and wore it to school. She was a hit with her friends and even won best dressed for spirit day out of the whole school. Her big prize: a crunch candy bar. YEAH! It was even better when the team won the game that night!

This week we play Highland. I'm pretty sure a bobcat can take a ram anyday! (We'll see what some of our cousins have to say about that)

Your how old?

For her 13th birthday, Emillie picked this present cake. She was surprised with a flower delivery as school from Mom and Dad.
She loved the ice cream cone so much that she couldn't put it down long enough to blow out her candles. All the other pictures show her licking it while we were singing Happy Birthday.
This is Emillie's new friend, Laurie. The are together about 27 hours a day.
She was so surprised with her gifts, even though they weren't boxers. :)
This is the face of a true party girl!

Emillie's new haircut

I am sorry about all the updates in one day, but we've had computer problems and we were FINALLY able to get our pictures onto the computer!

Emillie wanted a new haircut and this is the result. She says it is totally cute even though she doesn't like this self portrait all that much.

She has made a ton of new friends here and loves to play night games with them almost every night. She says she just wants me to keep talking about her on the blog. She is going to be in the 8th grade this year. Did I mention that school starts on Thursday? This truely is the "most wonderful time of the year" !
