Turkey Trot

The Friday before Thanksgiving break is always our school's annual Turkey Trot. It is a fun run with an "entry fee" of canned food for the food bank. After the run, the students enjoy yummy treats. This year's trot was moved indoors due to ran. Yes folks, I said rain, again!

Davin was excited to see Ethan and Mommy at school.

Ethan was the last leg in the relay. He was super fast!!!

My dad ran the trot with Ethan last year, and enjoyed it so much he decided to join us again. This year we walked the halls instead of doing an outdoor run.

Claire snoozed through all the fun.

Davin loved snack time. He enjoyed sitting with all of Ethan's friends.

I am thankful that I have such a great Dad, and that he does so many fun things with the boys!

End of Season Celebration

Ginnie and Cameron came for a visit right before our party. I think Ginnie looks pretty good with 2 babies.

The Sharks fall '09 season ended with the boys playing very well. It was almost sad to see it end. Oh well, spring soccer will be here soon enough. Coach Jay had an end of season party at his home in Shady Shores to celebrate. The families had a great time. Here are a few pics.

The boys and their trophies

Fun on the dirt hill

Davin is so proud of his marsh mellow!

The last goal

Tuesday night was the Sharks last game of the fall season. The boys seemed to really enjoy playing under the lights. Too bad the season is over now. They had finally got in a groove, and were playing really well after all the rain outs, etc. earlier in the season.

Ethan and Mikey

Here come the victorious Sharks!

Ethan and Grandpa after the game. Grandpa comes to all of Ethan's games, and also takes him to several FC Dallas games every year.

A Redneck race day

Sunday was race day in Texas, and those of us rednecks who were not lucky enough to be at TMS on Sunday decided to gather to watch the race on our garage TV. Doug, Davin, and Ethan were at the Nationwide race on Saturday thanks to a very generous Kindergarten teacher at my school!The kiddos enjoyed digging and building in the empty lot.

Kate enjoyed riding toys.
Anna pretty much followed Kate.

Vic loves Greg already! We knew he would learn fast ;)

Zachary is a mess.

Silly Cindy

Claire is already tail gating in her own garage.

Davin didn't last the whole race

Daddy in his favorite chair, but he wouldn't smile for the camera.

He thought I wouldn't do it, but I did. I do miss the days when all the rednecks lived together on Redneck drive. I am so glad we still get together as often as we do!

Happy Halloween

This Halloween was our first Halloween in our new neighborhood. Our neighborhood is still developing, so it wasn't as busy here as we are used to it being on Halloween, but the kids still seemed to enjoy it for the most part. Uncle James and Aunt Whitney came to join us for some trick or treat fun!

Claire wore a onesie instead of a costume.
It was the same one Ethan wore on his first Halloween.

Ethan thought his pumpkin was heavy, and that Mommy was
mean for making him carry it himself.

Scooping out the guts

Trick or treat time with our neighbor friends.

They are so scary!

Claire hung out in the bouncy chair :)

Dry bones!

Ethan pretending to be grandpa.

Me and my vomiting pumpkin.
The picture didn't turn out very clear :(

Not real sure why Ethan took this picture or what we were laughing about!

Monday night we went to see our friend's son play in the district championship football game for his middle school. His little brother Jake, Ethan, and Davin had a great time cheering him on and playing in the stands. They look so innocent, and Tim's team won!
