ARRRGH!

Noah the Pirate...

His teeth couldn't of fallen out at a better time! He plays the part well! ARRRRGH Matey!

The weather was perfect. Warm enough to wear sweatshirts, and not cover up the costume with a jacket. This was our first year walking for candy at night. It is much more exciting than at two in the afternoon. By the time we got home, Noah had falling asleep in the truck. He was wore out. The hype of school all day, homework, trick-or-treating & supper took a toll on him. He slept great though! Didn't even move an inch...

Another BITES the Dust...

Pun intended! Noah has officially lost both of his front teeth. And the Tooth Fairy is BROKE! Two teeth in one week!
Noah hit the back of his little friend's head with his mouth. Blood everywhere! We finally got the bleeding to stop & a good look at the damage. The tooth needed pulled because it was just hanging there. The gum just above the tooth was bruised, and the right side gum was still tender. Finally, Noah said "I'll just pull it." That came from after school yesterday, I was bribing him with '5 BUCKS' to pull his tooth. It has been loose, it just needed an extra tug. So, in the end, Noah has pulled his own tooth. Five in all!

New-Do...

In the morning, before school, Makaleigh got out the curling iron. I was very surprised! She wanted a new look... So what do you think? My baby girl is growing up before my eyes! Next thing, driving...but for now I will deal with curling the hair. She looked awesome! And by the way, she got lots of comments at school. I love it, Makaleigh!!!

Smile... Noah

Noah has just lost another tooth! As you can see it was his top right front. And actually both top front teeth were loose, and has been for awhile now! But the gums are growing big spaces between his teeth for his new adult teeth. It's kinda cute, but that was before losing this tooth! Now, the poor kid looks crazy!

Happy Sweetest Day!

A celebration to all the couples out there...I love you honey! We spent our sweetest day apart. :( My day started at 8:30a, getting dress for my debut as a photographer, dropping off Evan for his game, and Makaleigh to a scrapbook party. I got the camera gear ready, dress, and out the door. Makaleigh's off...Evan's off...Makaleigh is picked back up & at home...now I'm off to the church! It is now, noon, and I have already be non-stop since my feet hit the floor this morning. The pictures I am taking are for a wedding, my first wedding! All is going well, and the Maid of Honour gets my attention to say 'I don't have the ring, it's in the Bride's purse.' So, I'm now hunting in a room full of purses, 11-12 to be exact. I find the ring, hand it off to step-dad, he discreetly hands it to the end of the line of six bridesmaids. You could see each of the girls hands go behind their backs to hand it off to next in line, and none to soon. Maid of Honour is slipping her ring off her finger, as the Major is asking for 'the ring.' A relieved nudge from a bridemaid with the groom's ring hits the Maid of Honour, just in time! It was funny! The next day, we find out that everyone seen it! Grabbing the ring, right hand, back, left hand... next right hand, back, left hand... next right hand, back, left hand... etc... MoH right hand, juggling 2 sets of flowers, to bride's hand in a matter of seconds! Funniest Home Videos, this video is a winner!

On a serious note, I am going to start another website for my photography. So, please stay tuned and watch for the new addition! I will be adding it to 'Websites...We All Love'

Ernie Comes to Town...

Ernie and girlfriend, Randi had come to visit us during Scott's vacation. He had a fun filled week full of fishing, fishing and more fishing. And yes, a honey-do-list for one day(he only allowed for one day). Friday, I actually was scheduled off of work, and the four of us went out on a date night! We started the night eating in the bar section of Frickers(great food) and then hitting up a haunted house. Not too scary, but the entrance guy, HILARIOUS! We laughed more at his jokes and comments towards us than being scared through the haunted house. We had a great time! Thanks for coming up to visit Ernie & Randi!!

Tackle Them...

Now, we are off to see Evan play football(a double header today)and meet Nana & Papa there. We also made the game, Parents Night like high school. It will be nice to see the change in us in a few years. He plays very well! A few tackles by himself, and 2 great blocks. At the beginning of the season, he would play both offense and defense. Now, he is used strictly for defense. The poor kid has bruises all up and down his arms. His chin is chapped, from the chin strap sweat. And his legs are so tan from the knees down. The fourth grade ended their season with a bang! Win 18-0 against Bucyrus! JV has 2 games left and are still undefeated! Keep up the good work guys...Youth Bowl is coming soon!

Tournaments

Makaleigh had an all day tournament for volleyball. Which they ended the season with a tie in third place. They girls were seeded in fourth place and had a record of 8-6. The girls celebrated the season by taking photos like this one,and staying to cheer on their ultimate rival to take it all. And the Flyers won, in three. And let me say, it was VERY weird to see an Eagle yelling out 'Go Flyers Go!' GREAT SEASON LADY EAGLES!!!!

Season Ends...

Makaleigh's volleyball season ended with the best game of the season. Which it should have! The biggest rival of the conference and like I said the best game ever!! The girls played their hearts out! First play of the game, bump, set, spike by St. Paul and a block by M'Ville. AWESOME!!! Point by point, and both sides looking great! We serve for 10 straight points, & in the lead. With their best server up for us to receive, we don't bump the ball to the setter, it goes into the stands. Point. We get the ball back to serve, 22-19 & miss the serve. Point. 23-19. And a time-out ~ recompose the team & make them side-out! A nice volley between the teams, but the outcome a loss. 25-19. Second game: A good start, but bad bumps ending with hitting the ceiling because of swinging their arms or flying through the stands by hitting the arms unevenly & not moving your feet! Our serves are missed at crucial points! The girls really came to the opposing school ready to play ball!!!! I seen intensity that was skyrocketed, fans that were charged up & the girls came ready to kick some butt! Tournaments start Saturday morning & the seed drawing is this morning(Friday). The season ended with a record of 9-6. But only losing to three different schools twice. Not bad...

Happy Birthday Steve!

October is a month of pink.
Congratulations to all those women out there who have fought the battle of breast cancer and came out with another year of cancer-free! Whether it be 1 year, 5 years, or 16 years, these women deserve a medal of honor for all the aches and pains they have encountered throughout the time of recovering.

Happy Anniversary!

Blogging that is! Today is the second month for the family website. Silly, I know, but thought I'd share my joy with you all!!
