Future Cheerleader?

Each year the high school cheerleaders host a clinic for elementary students. The students spend an afternoon learning cheers the high school cheerleaders do at the football games. The students are then invited to a game to cheer with the high school cheerleaders. Tonight was Delaney's night to cheer. We started the evening celebrating Papa and Uncle T.J.'s birthdays and then we all headed to the high school to watch Delaney cheer. She loved being with her friends, she didn't seem as thrilled with the cheering. I think she prefers to play the game, and not cheer for them.

Family Hayride

Hay+Frost Allergies=Lots of fun

We belong to a group at church called Carpe Diem. The group consists of families w/ kids. Each month there is an activity for couples or the entire family. This month was the Family Hayride. Darnel was not thrilled about going since it included hay which he is allergic to, but he agreed since it would be fun for the family. Before the hay ride we had a cookout with hot dogs and lots of sides and desserts that the families brought. The kids had fun playing on the playground at the park until it was time for the ride. We had a great time on the hayride, throwing hay,which Darnel LOVED and enjoying the Fall weather. Trey did let us know that he was not a fan of the dark. He said he didn't like it because of the monsters. As we walked to the car Trey said, That was so much fun!" (the hayride, not the dark)

Fall Festival

The weather was beautiful, we had a free day and there was a Fall Festival around the Farmer's Market and downtown shops. The kids decorated pumpkins, played on the haystacks and slides and we were able to walk around and look at the shops and enjoy the weather. The kids had the best time swinging on the swings and getting apples to eat at the market. This is one of the reasons why I love our town, there is so much to do and even when nothing is going on it's nice to just walk around the downtown area and look at the shops.

Lost Shoes

Delaney has soccer at 9:30 and it is 9 am and she can't find her cleats. I keep asking her if she has her shoes on and she replies, No, I can't find them. Is she looking for them? No, she is playing school with Trey. We just went in her room to look for them, I pick up her Pjs off the floor of course that's where they end up every morning and there is the missing cleat. She says, "Mom, you are SO GOOD!"

Kids Conversations

Sorry for the delay in posts and lack of pics. We are having computer issues!


This morning Trey was watching TV and saw a commercial about make-up. Here is the conversation that followed.

Trey: Mommy you can get that.
Delaney: No, that would make mommy brown.
Trey: Yeah mommy is white.
Me: Trey, What color are you?
Trey: Brown and so is Lou Lou (Delaney's nickname).
Me: Why am I white and you are brown?
Trey: Because God made you that way

Aunt Tammy's Wedding

Aunt Tammy got married today! It was a beautiful ceremony, a bit warm but beautiful. The kids were all in it, Taylor was a junior bride, Delaney a flower girl and Trey, well he dressed the part of a ring bearer. When I asked him why he wouldn't walk down the aisle he said,"I didn't want to, and it was HOT!"

The girls looked beautiful and Trey was so handsome! They loved being a part of the wedding and dancing the night away at the reception. When I have more pics I will post them.

Children's Day Out

Today was Trey's first day at CDO (Children's Day Out). He was so excited. I had a Doctors appt. so I thought it would be a good time to try it out. He was so excited, he put his backpack by the door the night before and couldn't wait to drop Delaney off at school so he could go to his school. Everything went well until I picked him up. Apparently he was the only one not staying for lunch bunch which he was well aware of. He left the room crying, "I want a juice box!". When he goes back next week he will definitely be signed up for lunch bunch!
