Wheeeee.... Boy has this year flown by. I cannot believe that it is almost Christmas. It has been a whirlwind since Halloween, what happened to Thanksgiving? I don't know if it is the new job or how busy our lives are right now but it was gone in a blink of the eye. We ate at my in-laws for lunch on Thanksgiving with Chris, Alicia, and my adorable nephews Cole and Aiden. We love seeing them and don't see them nearly as much as we would like. We are going to get over there during Christmas break to spend some time with them :) Then it was off to Beth and Rob's house for dinner on Thanksgiving. Baron and Riley (my newest nephew and niece) are getting so big. Riley was crawling everywhere and Baron was really close to following her. The day after Thanksgiving, Beth continued Grma Margie's annual cookie bake event with the kids and did a great job. The kids had a ball and her and Rob even had a scavenger hunt for them on their land. A great time was had by all. And most important Beth learned what confectioners sugar really was........lol.......
Well, here it is the end of October already. I can't get over how quickly the year is going..... Christmas will be here before we know it. An update on all that is going on....Brooklyn's games are about to begin... her first game is November 6th. Report cards are in and she had staright A's!!! So proud of her. She is soooo busy and yet keeps her grades up. Griffin finished football and is anxiously awaiting the start of basketball season. He continues to enjoy school and is starting to get as social as Brooklyn. Candon is Candon, rough and tumble and all BOY! He is still as loveable as ever and enjoys school but loves "stay home days" better, and is usually just a step behind his dad at all times!!Taylyn has started tumbling again this year (as has Brooklyn) and loves to go to dance class and will get to do trampoline in Feb. (they have to be 6 to get on the tramp) She loves school and wants to know on Fridays when she gets home how many days until she goes back to school. I had parent teacher conferences this week and her teacher said that she could run the class! No, not bossy sassy Taylyn, who would have thought?! LOL!Well, enjoy the new pictures........
Well, has fall finally arrived?! The last week or so of warm weather has been nice but I am ready for hoodie weather! Hoping to take the kids to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins and maybe a few of them to the Haunted House in Auburn! Football is like the staple of fall.... Griffin is at the end of his season. They have done really well and only lost two of the regular season games. They are in the playoffs this Sunday and of course are hoping to win it all!!!! Go BULLDOGS!Brooklyn and the other cheerleaders are working hard to get ready for the start of basketball. Our first game is on Nov. 6th and the girls are really improving! I think that they are getting sick of practicing and are ready to perform!!! Homecoming is this week and Brooklyn, Griffin, and Taylyn are all in the parade. Brooklyn with the cheerleaders, Griffin with JFL, and Taylyn on the kindergarten float! Candon is the only one not in it. Don't feel bad for him though because he is the only one that will get to catch candy! And ke knows this....and boy is he rubbing it in! Cory and I are celebrating our 12th anniversary on Oct. 15th, boy has the time flown by!!! Cory also will be celebrating his birthday on Oct. 20th. YES, I will try to update more often but as I am sure that you are all aware, our lives are a little CrAzY around here!!! Enjoy!
First Day of School 2008. Brooklyn is in 7th grade this year and loves junior high. She spent hours decorating her locker!!! Griffin is in 4th grade this year and is playing JFL football. His jersey number is 75. Candon is in 1st grade and had a hard time again this year but is adapting. He cried the first day and said "I don't want to go today, I'll go tomorrow" But by the time he got off the bus he was all smiles. Taylyn Grace- My baby's first day of kindergarten. Of course I was sad and she was so ready to go. She told me"mom, you don't have to take me, I can just ride the bus!" She did great, got in her line and waved and away she went. She loves it and can't wait to go back each day. She is also really worn out and has been asleep before 8pm all week. And........ I am finally able to clean my house and get somethings done on my day off and to sleep in peace and quiet after working all night. Though the first full day of school I was trying to sleep and our neighbor just happened to be off work and decided to weed eat and mow....Ugggg, it figures!!!!
Well, we made it. Vacation went well and we all survived. Even if Beth made me hike three miles up hill both ways!!! I keep telling her that I am not a "wilderness girl"! Cumberland Falls were beautiful and we all had a great time. The kids got to swim a lot and went on a couple hikes and even got to go horseback riding!
Well, here we go. We're off to Kentucky for vacation! The kids are all really excited so of course trying to get anything done around here is almost impossible. Trying to pack for a family of six is easier said than done also. Clothes, pillows, blankets, first aid kit (and yes I am sure that we will need it!) medicine, swimsuits, towels and the list goes on and on. Oh I almost forgot, cell phones, gameboys, DS's, portable DVD players, IPODS, all the must haves for a long car ride! Taylyn is getting her own cd player to listen to because she likes to listen to the same song over and over and over again. Well, wish us luck and I am sure that I will have lots to post about and pictures when we get back!
Beth just created a blog and told me that I should try it. She says that it is super easy so I am going to give it a try! We'll see how it goes! Wish me luck!
