Fitting It All in!

I will NEVER understand why ALL of these sporting events (swim meets, soccer games, volleyball games, H.S. football and cross country meets) have to horn in on my autumnal activities-ha-ha! But, that being said, we still try to squeeze in as many of these events as we can because it means a lot to our grand children.

Our oldest grand daughter puts us all to shame as she is not only involved in so many activities, she is the leader of most of them. Don't ask me, the couch potato, why anyone would want to get up to practice cross country around 4:30 A.M., have a full day of school and still be playing varsity volleyball at 10 P.M. that night, but she does and she does it well. So, it was a no-brainer for as many of the family as possible to be at her high school the other night for their senior recognition. We are so proud of this young woman-not only is she beautiful on the outside but she is beautiful on the inside as well. She knows no strangers and is genuinely nice to everyone-could be why she was elected student body president-can you tell I am a proud Nana and love her so much! She was our first and introduced us to the world of grand parenting-a world that we love-and we never looked back!




Our youngest daughter and her family live in the same town as we do-Hannah is about an hour away. So, Harrison was thrilled when he was the only one of the siblings who got to come along-the other two would never have made the late hour. Harrison even got to help Uncle Todd with a quick turn in the concession stand-and thought that might entitle him to some free food but, alas, the money goes to the school so that was a no go-haha.

Yes, that white blur in front of her is the BALL!


Didn't get a picture of the family cheering squad, but many of us were there to honor this sweet girl. As you can tell, a good time was had by all. I am cleaning for company this weekend and then our big Halloween costume party on Sunday. It promises to be a BOO-TIFUL weekend! Stay tuned.
