**Fall Classic 2009**

Wow, WHAT A WEEKEND Makayla and I had! It was wonderful. We headed on Friday to West Virginia for Fall Classics. Makayla was not feeling well this weekend but did a GREAT job and came home a winner! Matt and I are so proud of her.

Here she is with Kelsey reigning "Majorette Queen of America." We love you Kelsey and Makayla wants to be like Kelsey someday! Mommy and Makayla
Brooke and Makayla. Another one of her idols!

Her best friends, Anna and Sophia

Here she is. She won not only her first crown as "Mid Continent Most Beautiful Majorette" but then turned around and won "Fall Classic Sweetheart". Two banners and two crowns in one day, can't be more proud!

All of her winnings for today!

But.....she didn't make it. Fell asleep with her crown and banner. Just two precious!

Birthday Celebration

We were able to celebrate the kids birthday's together this year. It was a great time and the kids had a fun being with their family and friends. Thanks to all who joined us in celebrating Makayla's 5th, Mason's 7th, and Matthew's 13th Birthday's!!!!!

Makayla showing us one of her presents for her dollhouse. Matthew wanted all Phillies stuff, so he got plenty. A new championship shirt!
Bode and Christy joined us and Bode had such a great time in the playroom and dressing up with Makayla's stuff.

Mason wanted transformers, so he too got them and was super excited!

My beautiful children.

Thanks again to all who came to celebrate with us! We love you :)

Halloween 09

Another year of Halloween is over. It is amazing how time goes by so quickly, as it is now time to start thinking about xmas.

We had such a fun Halloween. The little one's went trick-or-treating on Friday evening with Ryan and Brandon, and Bode. Matthew walked along but is now officially to old to be participating in collecting the candy. Below are my pirates this year! Mason was Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Carribean and his pirate women (as Makayla was telling everyone). Such cute costumes this year.
Meeting at Nanny's before heading out. Even Shane Victorino showed up to trick-or-treat!

The gang-"Snack Eyes" (Brandon) and Pirate (Ryan) along with Mason, Makayla and Bode.
