Thanksgiving Day 5k

It was a bitterly cold day for the Thanksgiving Day run this year! Trey got 2nd place and won a pie to take back to Grandma's for lunch. I was proud of the kids for getting out there in the cold!

It's a little overwhelming to even know where to begin when you neglect your blog for months at a time! I actually have a moment with a little time to myself so i thought i would at least get a post on!

My life these days is much the same as a taxi driver minus the paycheck! I thought i was a busy mom when the kids were small but my goodness does life get busy as they get older!

Here is a little of what they are up to these days...

Trey is 15 (16 in a couple of months) and is in the 10th grade. He is soon to go get his restricted drivers licence so that he can drive to school...yikes!!

He is in the E-communication program at school and really enjoys the video aspect of his program as that is something he would love to go in to. He just finished his cross country season and after a week off is about to start the winter program that his coach has lines out for track conditioning. He dropped his times significantly this year from last and his 5k pr is now 17:20. He hold the 2nd and 3rd best time for a sophomore for his school. He just got his first phone!! Yes, we made him wait till 10th grade!

He spends a lot of time with his friends from church, We are thankful for such a great youth program that he get's to be involved in! They always have something going on!

Avery is 13 (soon to be 14) and is in the 8th grade. Avery is a social butterfly and if we let her would be doing something with friends every day of the week! She participates in a lot of different activities. She ran cross country this year but was more than happy to get out of both meets (she hates meets!) She also was a volleyball manager which she loved! She went out for basketball mainly because she was talked into it but after the first couple of days of practice decided she hated it and we decided to let her drop it.

She plays the violin in orchestra but her heart is in choir. She loves to sing! She won't sing for us, we have to wait until her choir variety shows to ever hear her sing, silly girl! I guess it gives us something to look forward to. She just got done playing soccer on a coed team. She loved it and wants to continue playing.

Ethan is 9 and is in the 3rd grade. He wrote a speech without any help at all this year and gave it in class and was voted into student government so we were pretty proud of that! He is looking forward to playing winter basketball! He is constantly out in the driveway shooting hoops.

He does karate. He has always been out little flexible noodle so i'm sure that helps! He is soon to be toothless as his two front teeth are finally loose! Our kids are very slow at losing their teeth!!

His Grandpa gave him a Bible for his 9th birthday and he has been taking it to school and reading it when they have free reading time...gotta say i'm pretty happy he wants to do that!

Raegan is 7 and in the 2nd grade. She just got done playing fall soccer. She is a little go getter on the soccer field. She loved it! She has been doing great in school and her favorite thing to do when she comes home is play teacher. She is quite the reader and can always be found with a book in her hands! She does spirit squad at school. They meet and practice a little dance to perform at an upcoming event so she loves being a part of that! She loves helping me around the house...always asking to help with laundry and things. I better eat that up while it lasts...because it doesn't!
