Kendall

This is Kendall making a touchdown. His team has done AWESOME! They've only had one loss and I don't think any other team even scored on them.
Kendall has been in the ALPS program this year (Advanced learning program). He had a people in history program and he wrote and recited his poem on Alexander Flemming - the Discoverer of Penicillin. His quote was "One sometimes finds what one is not looking for" - isn't that the truth?

Halloween

She's such a good sport.
" One of these kids is not like the other" - We didn't plan on Taylor trick or treating, but he scrounged something out of the costume bucket and went as Napoleon Dynamite. Everyone else - Cowboys - even Shelby. It was a bit rainy, but didn't stop those buckets from getting filled up. Taylor had a little friend get together that night too which added to the fun.

The kids always have a good time doing this, but do you see how thick those pumpkins are??? Dale had to get out his saw - Milwaukee ofcourse to do most of the carving.

I did this one by hand. By Halloween it was a little wrinkly.

Our Neighbor's Cabin

Kendall gettin' a little crazy on the rope.

Max had so much fun playing with the dog, riding 4-wheelers and being in the mountains.

The kids had fun playing games and being with friends.

Court of Honor

Someone earned their Eagle scout award and the Tracy Aviary brought a golden eagle to the church and compared an eagle to an eagle scout - pretty cool.
Taylor earned 10 merit badges and needs to do an eagle project. Any good ideas?
Kendall is now a second class and VERY close to first class



Max turns 3

Max loved these trucks and so did the rest of the kids. They loved them so much and played with them so much that I can no longer find either one of them.
Max really wanted a real golf club he found at the sporting goods store, but got this instead.

Peaches are in season so Max got a peach pie instead of a cake. Cheers to turning 3!



Football

Kendall - doing a pretty good job keeping this bigger kid away from the quarterback.
Taylor plays defensive end. This football schedule is rigorous with someone having a 2 hour practice every night and games every Saturday - I'm already worn out and it's not even half over.
