It is getting colder out. Yikes. Today was down right chilly here. It is going to get worse in the next few days. It is supposed to rain pretty much non-stop for the next three days. Yippee.
Mason has one more football game left. Thankfully it is supposed to be nice by the weekend. He is playing for the championship. He is pretty excited about it. I will let you all know how it goes.
Jayde had a sleep over last weekend. Her friend Clare stayed over night. The girls had a blast singing and dancing all night. They were back up around 7:30 in the morning and back up playing. She had to go home for us to head to Grandma Judy's birthday party. Surprise mom :) Hope you enjoyed your party!
We are going to try to head to a pumpkin patch this weekend. We haven't done anything like that for the last couple of years so we are over due. I will post some pictures of some recent events when I get a chance.
Talk to you soon!

Ho Hum...
Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Actually there isn't much new to report which in this day and age is a GOOD thing!
Mason is still playing football. He made two touchdowns and two fumble recoveries last week, not to mention several carries. That is pretty good! He played full back and linebacker. He likes both so who knows what he will be when he grows up. It is funny to see him catch the ball and stand like 2 feet taller than the kid who is defending him.as 4 kids try to bring him down and he drags the along :) It goes back to the "my kids grow like weeds" thing- guess he still does ;)
Jayde is doing well. Same as ever. She is such an interesting child to say the least. She really can do anything she puts her mind to so it will be so fascinating to watch her grow into an adult. She took a timed math test at the beginning of the year and really struggled (hello-just finished summer- math wasn't a common thing practiced) but since she didn't get very far on the test, she was on a MISSION. She plays the Gold Medal Math CD we have on the computer and tests on it. Eric made math sheets and she times herself on them- ALL ON HER OWN!!! Needless to say they took a test a week or so ago to get into Math Club and Jayde passed with flying colors. Goal achieved.
Jayde wanted her kicks in dance to be better so she has been stretching out so they are perfect. She asked to have her routine music loaded on her Ipod so she can practice her dance routines and she does that several times a day. It is really something. She is a perfectionist by nature so you know she gets that from me right?? NOT!!!!
She is the POLAR OPPOSITE of Mason. He isn't all that motivated unless it involves sports or competition. He is doing terrific on his grades- mostly As-but has a couple high Bs that could be higher with a little effort. Not too bad considering he is in two sports now and has confirmation work to do.
Well, that is all to update now. God Bless.
