Hello Monday, Hello Cheer Kick Off and Hello Diana's Bday!

 



Hi Friends and Happy Monday!  I am here with Sarah and we are chatting about our weekends.  Hope you will join us!

 

Here is what our last 2025 Summer Weekend looked like... 

 

 First Thing Friday

 

Took my girls to breakfast real early, before cheer practice for Diana...a way to say bye to a wonderful summer


 

 

Friday Night

 

Pidge got her Back To School Hair Cut by the lovely and talented Taylor....she looks so grown up...I can't take it!

 


 

Then we all headed down to Mimi and Papa's to celebrate Papa's and Diana's Bdays...we enjoyed Mimi's homemade calzones, Chinese, Japanese and Mimi's Homemade Pudding Cake- we were stuffed!  It was a great celebration full of laughs as always (and I was being attacked all night-primarily by my kids-that wasn't fun but hey)

 








 

Saturday

 

Eva and Rob headed to her Club Team Softball Practice.  I met up with Cass for coffee as she just got home from bringing Alexis to college- I was very proud of her- she did so well- probably much better than I will- eek!

 

Diana headed out with Cat for a pre-bday celebration 

 


 

 I came home and got some real estate work done and then I met Rob and Eva at the party after practice.  It was the first time I was introduced to Eva's new club team families and I got really excited because they welcomed us in with open arms- they are some great families- so warm and I know we will have lots of fun together!

 

We even introduced them to our Crack Bars- big hit

 

This is the only pic I happened to snap all day... 


 That night, Diana worked and we headed over to Red's to visit her and have a quick dinner.  When we got home...someone was looking to snuggle :)


Rob and I wrapped up our night with some more FNL :)
 
 
Sunday
 
Happy 17th Birthday Diana!
 

 
We were up bright and early and I continued cooking and prepping for the big Cheer Kick Off Dinner.  Rob and I headed to 7:30 mass and then came home to continue the work. 
 
Zach and Zoe came to take Diana out for a birthday breakfast :)
 

 
 
 Then it was finally time to host the WHS Cheer Kickoff Dinner!
 
The Seniors
 


 
 Maddy and her Mom Danielle
 

 
 
 Diana and Me
 

 
Leah and her Mom Bethany 
 

 
 
 Maddie and her Mom Chrissy
 

 
 The Seniors with Their Sashes
 
 
The Varsity Team
 

 The Seniors with Coach Stacey
 

 
 


 


Wish I had snapped the pics of the meals I made- Chicken Broccoli and Ziti, Rigatoni with Shrimp and Vodka Sauce, Chicken Parm and Bowties with Marinara.  We also had two kinds of salad and garlic bread

 

For dessert, we had cupcakes and then we sang Diana Happy Birthday with the little cake I got to match the theme

 



 It was a great night!

 

After that, we let Diana have some friends over and we didn't get much sleep...so extra caffeine is needed this morning!  What were you all up to?

What a great weekend! Love the all the birthday festivities; it looks like Diana had a lovely day. Your family pics are all so good. You outdid yourself with the meal. I can't believe you made all that food- so much work and I hope you have leftovers so you don't have to cook tonight :). Have a great Monday!

Happy birthday to your 17 year old! Diana is beaming in all the photos and your Pidge looks adorable with her new hair cut! The Cheer Dinner turned out beautifully - what a great way to kick off a new year! Happy Monday!

What a fabulous weekend! Diana sure looks like she was celebrated so much for her birthday (as it should be!). The senior kick off night looks like it went off fabulously. I definitely always think of you as the hostess with the mostess!
