Brenna's First Cheerleading Competition

Brenna had her first cheerleading competition on November 15th. She cheers for the Westland Cougars Youth Junior Squad. The team competed in a group competition and Brenna choose to also compete in an individual. The girls did awesome, they took home 2nd place in the team competition. " Way to go girls"!!!! As for Brenna's individual, no trophy, but we are so proud of her! She did very, very, well. I think she should have taken 1st :-) She was just so peppy and confident. It seemed as if she wasn't even nervous to be in front of a crowd of people. A Natural.

The night before the competition the girls all got together at the coaches house for pizza and to do thier hair and nails. Nice curlers girls :-)

This competition was a great experience for Brenna. She loved it. As for me, I was so nervous for her that everyone around me was laughing. So, who was more nervous me or her?....definately me!

Trick or Treat

What a group of little trick or treaters we had. Some of them made it the whole 2 hours, but most only made it till 7. All the same we have way too much candy in the house!!

Uncle T.J., like always, dresses up with the kids for Halloween.

What a sport.
This year my little goblins dressed up as a Ninja and a Spider Witch. They sure loved playing the part....

Happy Birthday Dad...(aka) Grandpa and Don!! 11/04

We love you paw paw! We hope you have a great birthday!!!!!

With Love Always.. Brenna, Braeden, Chrissy and Justin

Happpy Birthday to you, ...Happy Birthday to you!

We wish we could be with you on your special day. We love you and miss you already!!

Party Time

Okay, so Brenna did get a chance to celebrate her birthday. We started with a trip to the Circleville Pumpkin Show with all the cousins, grandma, grandpa, and some friends.

Then she celebrated with her friends from school...SLEEPOVER!!!!!
The girls all got glammed up and put on a fashion show. I'm not sure who had more fun, me or them. It was so much fun helping them with their hair and make up, I felt like a kid again. However, I did not feel so much like a kid when 2:30 rolled around and they were still going strong and I was oh so ready for bed! I'm still not sure exactly when they finally went to bed or what phone calls may have been made after I surrendered. :-)

Brenna turns 10!

Brenna is officially (as my dad would say) a Ten-ager!!

10/16

Well, what better way to celebrate your birthday then with cheerleading practice (yuck!.. on your bday).....

Or how about a flu shot? (double yuck....)
Brenna, Braeden, and I all got a flu shot to help celebrate Brenna's birthday(yeah right)... They made me go first! I think I was more scared then they were. Mom was definately the wimp on this one!!

Braeden Starts Kindergarten

Okay, so you must be thinking...it is October, what do you mean Braeden is starting Kindergarten? Well, Mommy and Daddy were not ready for him to start school, so we decided to hold him back one more year and start in 2009 (he is right on the cut-off). Braedens 5th Birthday was September 18th and everyday since he turned 5 he has been asking us to start school. Apparently, he assumed that once he turned 5, he would start school like most of his friends....so we contacted the school and found out we could still enroll him in Kindergarten!! So, upon his request, Braeden started school on October 6th. Crazy I know! But we can tell he already loves it and is just so excited. Braeden told us he is a big boy now and is ready for school, doesn't he look ready?
Mom and Dad were not ready, but we were willing to give it a try
He was just so excited....
