fall school pics!

Here they are! Austin & Timmy's fall school photos! I usually don't get them because their school also does them in spring (&I like those better) with class photos. Since Timmy's soccer team opted out of photos, I thought I'd better get them. Timmy is in kindergarten and Austin is now in third grade.

Last day of soccer...

Austin's last day was Sat. He did very well this year-coach said he was most improved. His favorite position was goalie. We hope that he gets the same coach in spring. The coach is British and they play a British style, a "tackle" meanss to get the ball. It's funny to hear the other teams responses when we all yell "make the tackle!" He's done a great job with the kids.

More PTA Reflections....Timmy's turn

These are the pictures Timmy wants to enter in the photo contest. Remember the theme is WOW! and he made these choices on his own (he originally wanted all his stuffed animals, but I talked him out of that one). Keep in mind he's only 5. Which one do you like?

PTA RELECTIONS CONTEST

Austin wanted to enter this year's PTA Reflections contest, funny because I judge literature and dance choreography entries at my school. Anyway...he chose photography. The theme is WOW! Since we were in the Poconos on Saturday after his game I decided I'd let him use my camera and take some shots that he thought were WOW! Here's what we did. We drove down a quite lane in Snydersville, I pulled over on the side of the road here's what he saw......

Today there was no school so the boys played Talking Battleship. Timmy was able to set up his own coordinates and ships this time!

UK Elite soccer

Timmy's practices on Saturday include time with a group of young, professional soccer players who are so good with kids! They are called UK Elite.
Here's more pictures of Timmy having fun...

Pumpkin & Apple Picking!

Today we went to Strawberry Acres to pick apples & pumpkins. We took the new truck. In one of the pictures you can see Ray is keeping a close eye on it since there were some wild drivers!We rode in a school bus with the top cut off-it was quite a bumpy ride, but the weather and pickin' was good! We picked 2 boxes of apples-Red delicious & Jona Gold for baking. We brought our lunches and had a picnic in their tented picnic area. The kids milked the fake cow (see pic) and checked out the animals. There was also a giant slide to play on.

Our Newest Addition!

Yep! We Finally got rid of the Elmer Fudd -Green Acres Family Gredanza (I really didn't like that truck-87 Chevy Silverado-held together by rust) and got a new truck......well almost new! This is our very clean 2005 Chevy Silverado with crew cab-for the crew of course! Ray is in his glory!
Funny thing is I think our neighbors are going to think we don't like color....the truck is black, my SUV is silver, and his car is white...... Click on the pictures if you want to see closer.

Austin's Soccer-Nazareth VS. Easton

Austin played goalie, defensive and offensive positions today. It started out chilly and slightly foggy, everything was wet, but it was sunny and the situation improved with time. Nazareth is blue and Easton is red. Since I work in Easton I did see some of my school's students. The kids all played well, no injuries and everyone was positive. Nazareth won the game!







Austin's ball handling and kicking skills have improved.
