Cydney's School Program

Thanks to Gran for scanning Chandler's and Cydney's school pictures!

Chandler - 8 yrs, 2nd grade

Cydney - right before her 4th birthday

Cydney's school had their annual fall program. The "Blessed Three's" class sang "Sing and Read Benjamin Bunny," "God Loves Me," and "Sing and Read Five."

Cydney did not actually sing with the rest of the kids - but doesn't she look pretty!

Cydney taking the stage - she told us later she was "nervous"


Chandler congratulates Cydney after her performance.

The Red Sox finished their season last Thursday night. Chandler was the last pitcher of the last inning of the season. He started the season and ended the season. His last inning was awesome. He struck out 4 batters. Yes 4! On the 3rd strike out, the catcher missed the ball so the kid got to run to 1st and made it! No worries... he struck out the next batter!
Baseball ended Thursday and Football started Friday. The Titans are back! Our 8 and 9 year old boys played "really big" 10 year old boys under the "Friday Night Lights." (Our boys were in Red) While they did not win, they played really well and pulled alot of flags. Nine of the Red Sox are now Titans and we had a few Titans returning from last year. We are looking to a really fun season!

Halloween and a Half-Marathon All In One Weekend!

Another successful Halloween! Chandler (aka "injured SWAT guy") and Cydney (aka "Candy Corn Witch") took the neighborhood by storm. We went to almost every house, which took about an hour and a half. Chandler's bucket was so full, he also got a grocery bag from one neighbor so he could finish Trick-or-Treating. Cydney really got into it this year. She ran up to every house to be the first to ring the doorbell, at least until a neighbor in the "Halloween Spirit" scared her!

Ready for Trick-or-Treating

A Very Sweet Witch

A Very Tough Guy


What a haul! The candy barely made it out of the bucket before Chandler had to have some.

The next day I was up VERY early for my first 1/2 Marathon. Thanks goodness for the time change.
This was the AFTER picture. I am smiling but still not feeling well after 13.3 miles. I did start feeling much better later in the day.

Chandler and Cydney were very proud of their mom. They thought I won because I came home with a medal. They don't have to know everyone who finished got one.
