Running Club & a 5K

 

Sky trained most of the school year with a running club for a 5K that she'd run with other running clubs in the school district.  It was a great little extra curricular activity that she seemed to enjoy.  I was at Wyatt's baseball game so Creag & Sam went to cheer her on.  Creag's a runner, so he's always so proud of her when she takes on stuff like this!  We're proud of you Sky, keep it up!!

Skylar's 11th Birthday

Christmas 2013

 

Excuse me while I continue to try and catch up.

I'm slowly getting there...promise!

 

Creag & I went to a Bengals game just a few days before Christmas.

 

 

We spent Christmas Eve at my Parents for their 1st Ugly Sweater Party!

 

 

Christmas Morning at our house was as chaotic as ever ;)

 

 

Big gifts of the year were Skylar's iPhone 5C,

Electric Scooters from Mamaw & Papaw

& another trip to Florida from us!

Andddd I got a new coach purse from Santa;)

 

 

**SKYLAR ASKED ME RECENTLY ABOUT SANTA & IF HE WAS REAL.

LET'S JUST SAY, THE CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG**

Skylar Lately

 

I can't believe that my first born is in her last year of Elementary School!  It's insane how fast she is growing & how much her personality & looks change on a monthly basis.  I can only say that I really hope to enjoy the next few years with her because before I know it, she'll be off to college!

 

 

She had an all day field-trip to Frankfort Kentucky to visit the State Capital.  She was shocked when she saw the sizes of the busses there to transport them.  I was a little sad to see her go, even if it was only from 8-5.

 

 

She had D.A.R.E. at school this year & Creag & I were lucky enough to see her Graduate!  She really enjoyed it & I hope she keeps what she's learned in the back of her mind as the Peer Pressure of Drugs and Alcohol start in Jr. High & High School.

 

 

She played Basketball for the first time through school this fall/winter.  She improved weekly & has decided that this is her new "sport" that she wants to play along w/ gymnastics & cheer.  We'll see how long it lasts!  She tends to change her mind a lot, which is okay but we've told her that it's time to choose what she wants to play & stick with it.  We were disappointed that she didn't choose Soccer because I think that best suits her, but it's her choice & we have to support it.  If she finds just one thing that she's passionate about & really, really loves, we'll be happy.  She's also the perfect mix of athlete and girly-girl.  She wore make-up to her first Basketball Game.  Girlfriend cracks me up!

 

 

Since she's decided to pursue Cheer, she's started Private Gymnastics Lessons 3 times a week to catch up with the other girls that she'll be trying out against in Middle School.  I hope she catches on quick & wish her the best of luck.  She's a little nervous about the try-out process, but I think she'll do fine!

Still Playing Catch-Up

October Randoms

 

This should sum up October,

except for a separate post on Sammie's 7th Birthday & Halloween!

 

Dinner w/ Hank at Bucca Di Beppos.

He'd never seen a Dude in a Speedo before....

 

 

 

 

Creag & I had the day to ourselves, so we stopped off at a Fall Festival.

Creag napped some while we were there.

 

 

We bought our pumpkins & a few cornstalks for the porch.

 

 

Hank had his Football Party at Ollies to close the Season.



 

Skylar begged me to cut her bangs!

 

Take 2 is a little better...

 

 

It started getting dark early, so we had a few Soccer Practices in the dark.

 

 

Date Night out.

Yuengling Battered Shrimp was amazing!!

 

Skylar got out of school for Jaw Pain & ended up coming to work with me for the day.

 

 

Some of our Flowers.

Man I can't wait for these again!!

2 Goals for Skylar at her last Soccer Game!



 

And I had a proud Mama moment when a parent recognized

Skylar for standing up for her son against bullying at school.

 

 

October was obviously a pretty good month, full of fun & good food!
