Alpine Days Cheerleading

Sorry...school has left me hanging. I just posted about the Alpine and Highland parades. It was soooo much fun (after a few comments from Ramon Beck). Alpine was a heck of a lot better since everyone could make it. Our team threw some tucks and handsprings and even a stunt (extension lib show-and-go, if you know what I'm talking about)

GO LONE PEAK

Summer?

....is gone.

Ethan is suddenly practicing in his Super League baseball (highest league)

Addie is twirling and dancing in parades and 8AM cheer practices

Talmage is waking up at 6:30am to train hardcore for football season

Emma (and Corkake) have been taking care of their dollies, and their baby, Bel.

Isabel has been cranky and awnry (three months along), but still a bundle of joy.

And it's COLD. Chilly. Windy. After five months of 85+ degrees, it's finally about 65 every morning. Leaves in the park aren't even turning colors, and they're falling off branches. Alpine Days marked the approach for school. Now they're over, and school is exactly one week and four days away.

I'm gonna cry...

No sugar added

July 31st 2009 was my last taste of purely refined sugar for a while. I was planning on going off in July with Liz, but my brother kinda discouraged it and decided him and I would both start in August instead. And it's been five days and I am holding strong. My recent temptations have been sugar cookies, Roxberry's, Wendy's Frosties, Sprite (my ULTIMATE craving!), brownies, chocolate covered pretzels, strawberry shortcake, and lemonade ice cream pie. A lot, but I have been able to hold myself back with fruit. I don't understand it, but suddenly apples and peaches and plums are my way of eating sweet. And it has encouraged me to eat healthier too. It's been REALLY hard, but I can do it! I have faith in myself ;-)

A good laugh..

Anyone who knows our uncle Matt (McGhie side) knows that he is a truly funny guy. But I am pretty sure this just broke all ultimate records :-)
