Thanksgiving Entertainment

Know this... this wonderful entertainer, whom I am proud to call my sister was the most fabulous turkey date there ever was! Imagine... that all of you in this world enjoying my blog missed out on this piece of work. And know this...this was a mere snapshot of the pure entertainment! I know you are all incredibly sad that you didn't see this form of art in person, which is why I am kind enough to share the wealth this holiday season. Such a giving girl I am. I love you too much not to share KD! ENJOY ALL!

Spikers











Maddi just completed her first season of Volleyball and she did great. She went from knowing very little about the game to understanding and succeeding in all positions. She has a mean serve and returns the ball perfectly. She improved significantly as the season progressed. We are so proud of her and she is ready to play in the spring. Somehow, I went from just volunteering to help with First Aid to Assistant to the Assistant to Coach. It was a challenge for Maddi and I in the beginning but we both ended up really enjoying it. GO SPIKERS!

Better late than never...right...

We had a very uneventful Halloween, unlike the Preece Family. The annual Halloween party at Moms was cancelled this year due to some difficult times. My kiddies raked in the candy as usual like none other and because my sweet, loving husband decided to ration the candy to trick-or-treaters, I now have a huge cauldron left over as well. I think I may gain 15 before the end of the week.
Maddi was a very grown up Cleopatra with beautiful eyes and my little man was...what shall we call him? Dr. Frank n' Monster. The weather was perfect... a cool 70 something and didn't rain until all were fast asleep.

All in all it was a healthy, happy halloween.

End of Summer

So far our summer has been very uneventful in the vacation department. It has been a summer of swim lessons, beach days, water parks, basketball games and work. Maddi and Jaxson have been in swim lessons at the YMCA for the month of July. We celebrated Maddi's 10th birthday at Hurricane Harbor with Aunt Nanni, Boston, Talon, and Big Bruddy. We had a fantastic time! The summer women's basketball league has monopolized my time and daddy supports all 0f us in whatever we do. I have the BEST husband in the world!!!!

All that being said, we are going out with a bang! This weekend we will join the Carvalho Family and Dad and Cile in Running Springs, CA. We have a Pirate Tour scheduled for Friday afternoon, a concert and Farmer's Market at Lake Arrowhead in the evening, and an AWESOME off-road jeep tour on Saturday at Big Bear Lake. We will fit in the Alpine Slides, Animal Park, and late night games at the cabin. I can't wait.

The fun will continue at GrandPa Camp for the kids with mom and Doyle. Keith and I are meeting the Francis' in VEGAS baby! Can't wait for that either. Mindy and Cameron are always oh so entertaining. We'll let you know how the pool, shows, and Francis entertainment are.

Have an enjoyable next few weeks! You know we will!
