How bout a picture update?
Madi & her friends at {ONE} of her birthday parties
(9yrs old)
Boston's Fall Baseball team ended their season 10-2
Madi is LOVING dance at Darcee's
She is currently taking ballet & jazz, but is adding acro in January
For the 1st time, Madi's Soccer team got last place :(
Boston helped his Football team win 1st with an undefeated season!
The kids are doing wonderful in school!!
Madi has received two "Rap with Rueb" awards
The one above & another for "being a good citizen inside & outside of the classroom"
I have received a phone call & a post card from school about Boston!
Boston got to ride in a limo to McDonald's with his principal
and some classmates for selling so much in the Fall fundraiser.... he LOVED it!!
These beauties were born & I wish I was closer to them so that I could be as much
a part of their lives as their mama's have been in Madi & Boston's lives!!

Sheila & I took the kids roller skating - I FORCED Boston to go around the gym, Madi barely stood up, sat down and then took her skates off - they weren't fans!! Carter went around a couple times!!
The kids getting their Jack-o-Lantern oranges ready for their class parties
"Queen of Hearts"
The Queen & Her Protectors

*We still need a picture of Madi & Hayley,
without each of them knowing the other's plans,
Madi was Queen of Hearts & Hayley was Alice!!
Madi & I attended Cortney & Troy's wedding without the fellas
Madi & Blair at the 3rd Grade Vocal Concert
and . . . . HOW BOUT THEM CATS?!?!
The K-State Mask has become quite the "cheerleader" for The Wildcats this year
and everyone in this house seems to be followers of his "word"
Here's a link to his video's: K-State Mask on YouTube
even MadiGrace has The Mask fever
DJ & I were able to take a weekend and go to a game this year. Although, we REALLY
wanted to watch a game in Manhattan, our schedules just didn't allow it, so we headed to
Ames for 2012 Farmageddon with our friends & co-workers Agnes & British
We ROCKED our purple overalls & I have worn mine for all but one game since...
we won't talk about which game I didn't get to wear them for :(
Crazy Hair/Hat Day at School
We surprised the kids with tickets to a basketball game
Here is their reaction to skipping school and going to Manhattan:
At their 1st KSU Men's Basketball game
That's pretty much what's been going on with us the past couple months. Soccer and football are over, dance is constant, Madi has started basketball and has had one game which she played pretty well in. She is playing for Rushville because we missed the Atchison Rec deadline, but she is liking it over there just the same. Boston starts after the first of the year, we just found out he will have the same coach that he had during his undefeated football season, so he is pumped about that!!
Barney & Holly (our elves) have come & gone, you can read about all of their antics here, they actually weren't too bad this year!! Maybe taking a page out of Madi & Boston's school behavior ;)
I know it's not much this time, but I'm going to try and keep up with blogging again. I always want to, but don't find (make) the time!
Here's hoping for a New Year's blog tonight!!
