MORGAN'S DAY TO SHINE

Today was Morgan's day to shine. It was her last make up soccer game (which she had to miss this time). Volleyball had a Tournament. Her team was 7 and 1 going into the games. It was a busy game day and exciting. Her team made it to the playoffs and played for championship! Game one 25/22, Game two 25/23 Our Win, Game three 15/13. It was neck to neck and great volley. Some tears were shed but the girls had a great Fall Volleyball season. Congrats to the Ladies and Coaches. Morgan you are our little Volleyball Star.

It's Veteran's Day! How did you spend the day with your Vet?

Mark back in the Army Days! Prior to me and the kids!

We went out to Kings Mountain Battlefield in South Carolina for the day. Mark took the day off and we celebrated our Veteran's Day!

READY TO RIDE????

The weather was perfect and a minute to spare not really but while I was busy trying to get laundry done Mark and Zach took off for a ride before they lost sunlight. We have trails within our development that they can ride. Bradley gets the biggest smile when he hears the engines. So he grabbed his helmet and ran to get the ride first. Too cute!!!

Bradley Bowling

Bradley bowled I think for his first time at one of his friends birthday party. Amazing by the third kids you forget they haven't tried certain things your older ones have. He had a great day!

What do you do on your day off?

Mark took the day off today. Zach was at a overnighter with a friend and Morgan went to the zoo with her friend. Then when I thought we just had Bradley we found out he had school. So Mark and I took off to paddle for a couple hours. Weather was overcast and cool but not to bad once we were out there in the kayaks. It's was so beautiful with the change of season, relaxing and fun company!

BRADLEY HOLDING IT TOGETHER!

Bradley's creation at home. One of his loves and good at it! Lego Boy!

Waiting for the Volleyball game to be over. What is going through his head?

I have him bring toys with him and he always finds kids to share his toys with at the games.

This is a special posting for Bradley who doesn't always enjoy our Saturday's. He is a homebody and love to play with his toys at home. Being the third child he is a trooper tagging along with Mom and Dad to his sister and brother's games and at times enjoys playing on the playgrounds if avaible and when there is none here is what he does. Just a few shots of what it's like watching him at these events.

A GREAT GAME! CONGRATS ON A GREAT SEASON!

Tonights game was great. We did end up final score 7 to 14. The boys held Freedom Drive well just didn't pull off the win. It's been a great football season. I'm not sure if the loss of the game is as hard as the end of the season. Giants have had a great year. We sure enjoyed watching all the games. Here are some photos of the night.

ANOTHER COUPLE WINS

Morgan's Volleyball team is undefeated still and today she had her first win with Soccer. She was so excited! We enjoyed watching her play and some of the great saves she made on the court and field. Way to go Morgan. A couple picture to come.

BIG GAME DAY!

Tonight is the Big Game!!!! Zach's team is playing in the Optimist Bowl tonight here in Charlotte!

This was a note from his coaches sent in an email. Very nice to hear!
Thanks again for everything. We have had a tremendous time this season. You all have raised some very impressive young men!!! We can't even begin to tell you how impressed we coaches have been with these young men. We definitely have some stories to share with you at the year end banquet. As parents, we don't always hear the good feedback about our kids. Well, we have some stories to share with you about these kids and how truly special they each are.

ONE YEAR TODAY!

Last November 1st we were moving into our home. It's been a year here in our neighborhood and still meeting people. We have great neighbors again!
