A Sunset Cruise with the Scotts

We had the pleasure of hosting Uncle Scotty and Aunt Mary this past weekend as they passed through town on their way to Lake Gaston. Uncle Scotty ran the pool table all night, but taught Jackson some great tips along the way.  Kathryn made brownies which we used to celebrate Uncle Scotty's birthday and Geof took us out on the boat to watch the sunset.  It was a fun, relaxing evening and a treat to have a basement full of family.

Not Bad.

Homecoming

The community we live in does a lot things well, but they seem to particularly shine on the annual Homecoming weekend.  It was complete with a parade down Main Street, a high school football victory, and a dance.  Kathryn, Joshua and Kamryn were in the parade and Jackson went with a whole group of friends on Saturday to the dance after a rather elaborate photo session at our house.  It was a beautiful, fun weekend and we made a lot of fun memories.

Another Teenager Is In the House!

Our sweet baby girl, Kathryn Savanna, has done the unthinkable and grown up on us.  We celebrated our young lady by having a party packed with all her friends, lots of food and a cookie cake.  We had a scavenger hunt, a water ballon fight and played "German Spotlight," which I think is a new and improved form of flashlight tag. Her friends are delightful and polite and we enjoyed getting to know them better.  Geof especially enjoyed showing all the boys his guns and Ranger tab.  I'm just kidding!! He behaved too.

The photo booth was fun!

Instead of gifts, Kathryn asked for a donation to her favorite charity. This sweaty, playful group raised $92 for LOVE 146, an organization that fights human trafficking around the world. Way to go, guys!

The iPhone collection...seriously??

We are so proud of Kathryn.  You are growing up to be a strong, thoughtful, graceful and beautiful young lady.  You are a treasure to our family and we love you very much. 

Happy 13th Birthday Sweet Girl!!

Green, Gold and White! Fight, Wolves, Fight!

In case you were wondering what we have been doing this fall-I can sum it up in one word: FOOTBALL.  This season is full of practices, games, and washing uniforms.  If we are not playing, we are cheering.  Every drive through fast food restaurant teller knows us by name, but it keeps us busy and we have a lot of fun!

 Jackson is number 11 and plays for the 9th grade team.

Kathryn cheers for the 7th grade team and Kami is the mascot and gets to be with her big sister.  

Joshua plays for the 5th grade team and is number 29.

Go Wolves!!
