I'm thankful for my brothers because sometimes they come up with briliant plans. The first one my big brother said it was to move the tramp over to under the playhouse to jump off the play house roof onto the tramp it was a briliant idea. I liked because it was so fun and funny so ya it was so very much fun. The next one my little brother he just likes to play cops and robers. We play it for a hour. It was so fun.

She is just so darn cute :-)

Thankful

This is a paper Schydi wrote this morning. Typed exactly as she wrote it.

Quick Update

November is already flying by. DaNell celebrated her 15th brithday on the 1st. She is studying the Drivers Ed book hoping to get her learners permit soon. She brought home Straight A's on her report card for 1st quarter. She is preparing for a Ballet recital on Dec. 4th.
Taylor is doing well, he finished Football and tried out for the basketball team, he wasn't picked, but wasn't too disappointed. His PE teacher talked him into trying Wrestling, he will start that on Monday. He had a couple of his cousins come over and give him some pointers, I think he just might like it. His report card was good, he has a couple of areas to improve on, and so far is working hard. We will be attending his Football Banquet later today.
Schydi....well Schdyi is just a ball of energy. She has decided to try to play Jr. Jazz basketball this year, it starts in January. Her report card was good, and she has improved on not talking as much in class. She is learning her multiplication facts.
Leyton is doing pretty good in school too. He now walks in through the front doors by himself, doesn't cry, and follows his morning procedures well. His report card was good, we have a couple of areas to focus on, but are working on them daily. He likes his teacher and is going to be the Star Student in his class next week. He is quickly picking up on the letter names and sounds they make.
Good Job Kids, I am proud of you all.
I usually don't write much about me, but I think I will today. I am still working on my college classes with one more year to go! In the last week I have learned how to install a ceiling fan/light and it even works, I have learned a little about leaky faucets, 1. how to turn the water off 2. How to take apart the handle, and 3 how to ask for help. I have also finished some painting/drywall work in one of the bedrooms, and learned that my poor old fridge is on it's last leg, I guess 15 years is all it can take :-(
It seems I run constantly, but it's all worth it. The kids and I are making it, some days are better than others, as long as the good ones outnumber the bad, we will be o.k. Thanks to all our friends and family for helping us through everything. We really do appreciate you :-)

It's Coming.......

Yep, that's right.....only 20 days until Black Friday :] Time to warm up the running shoes, break out the thermals, practice line etiquette, and have a blast fighting the crowds. Look out 2010 Holiday Shoppers.....Here we come!

DaNell's Pumpkin

DaNell finally got around to carving her pumpkin and chose to do a New England Patriots logo. Of course she voted hers the " Most Amazing Pumpkin Ever!"

End of Football

I know I missed a lot of time lately with the blog and hope to remedy that in the future. The last few football games were good, the Dolphins suffered one loss to Emery, but won the remaining games and finished the season the #1 team in the league. Taylor received the honor of #1 Quarterback in the league and received the game ball complete with his team mates and coaches signatures. All that is left is the Banquet on Nov. 13. He had such a great season, he learned a lot, and had a blast, we were a little sad to see it end.
The week after football, open gym started for Jr. High Basketball, so here we go again. Try-outs are in the next week or so, Good Luck Taylor!

Halloween 2010

This year for Halloween I had Batman, A Nerd, A Kitty, and a Bloody Masked Man, and an M&M. Leyton wanted his pumpkin to be the Cowboys, so we carved out a star amd Schdyi picked out a ghost that said Boo, DaNell and Taylor didn't get theirs carved, maybe they will tomorrow? DaNell and Taylor spent time with their friends for Halloween and Schydi and Leyton went Trick-Or-Treating with some friends only to get rained out :( They all had a blast and were beyond ready for bed. Happy Halloween! Enjoy the pics.

Dolphins Game 6

The Dolphins are really rolling along this year. Game 6 resulted in another 42-6 win for the team. Everywhere I go, I am hearing about their awesome quarterback, of course I would have to agree. Game 7 is today at 9:00 at Emery High, we are matched up with Emery's #1 team since we are in the #1 spot in Carbon County. Good Luck Dolphins!

Dolphins Game 5

Game 5 resulted in a 30-0 win for the Dolphins against the Cowboys. Taylor threw the ball for 200+ yards, completed some hand-offs, pitches, and qb sneaks. He is really progressing this year and loving every minute of it. Game 6 will be Tuesday night under the lights against the Raiders.........Go Dolphins!

Dolphins Game 4

Game 4 resulted in a blow-out in favor of the Dolphins. Taylor threw 3 Touchdown passes, ran one in for a TD, and handed it off many times. Final score was 59-0 Dolphins! It didn't matter what we tried, it seemed like we scored even when we weren't trying. I guess that's how it goes some days. Game 5 is Saturday Good Luck Dolphins!
