Justin Bieber Concert

Lauren went to her first concert, Justin Bieber.  She went with a couple of her friends and one their mother.  Lauren had a great time.  The concert was the first night of his Believe tour.  Justin was a bit sick at the concert and throw up a few times but still put on a great show.  Lauren loved it.

Labor Day Weekend and Family Birthday Party

Tonight we celebrated Labor Day and a bunch of birthdays and a graduation.  This summer was so busy that we didn't have time to celebrate Janine's 50th birthday, Diane's 40th birthday, Lauren's 9th birthday and Elaine's graduation.  So we decided to do it all at once.  It was a bit warm but some of the kids swam.  We then had a great dinner.  Of course we had cake and presents to end the day.  It was a fun day.

Blaire's Cheer Season

Blaire is once again cheering for her high school.  Lauren and I went and watched her the first game.  It was so fun to watch her cheer.  She is such a great cheerleader.

9 Year old Pictures

Nine year old pictures.

Gotcha Day plus 8 years.

 We celebrated 8 years as a family today.  We went to a fun craft place and Lauren made soap and decorated a cake.  After the fun crafts we went out to dinner.  When we got home we ate the beautiful cake.  I had fun telling Lauren all the about the day we became a family.  I love you Lauren.

First Day of 4th Grade

Today was the first day of 4th grade.  I can't believe that my little girl is in 4th grade.  I am sure Lauren will do great.  She already knows that she is going to have to work harder then she has in the past.  It should be a fun year.

Meet the Teacher

Tuesday was the annual meet the teacher day.  Lauren was so excited to find out who she would get for 4th grade.  She wanted to get Mrs. Lester and she was so happy when she found out that is who she got.  We went to her new classroom and dropped off the supplies and was able to meet Mrs. Lester.

After meeting the teacher we went to order new Cherokee spirit wear and sign up for clubs and etc.  They had crafts and treats also.  It was a nice afternoon and Lauren is now sooo excited to start school.
