First game

Conlan had his first basketball game. He was nervous the first half but got more comfortable the 2nd half. They lost in the last 10 seconds of the game. This was the write up in the school paper.

The Thornburg Boy's Basketball team lost to Chancellor Middle yesterday 37 to 35, in a game that was decided in the last few seconds. Leading scorers for the Jags were Tyler Johnson with 11 points, and Conlan Beaver with 9 points.

Conlan has to dress up on game days.

Hiking is hard on mom

Hiking 8 miles is hard for me. Once I made it 3 miles up the mountain I tripped and landed my butt. I wanted Conlan to hold me up but he didn't seem too excited about helping his old mom.

every lineman's dream

Donavan's dream of running the football came true the last game of the season. The video is the official first time he ran the ball. I missed filming the BIG EVENT. He was given the ball for a conversion point and he SCORED! Donavan said it was the longest two yards ever. He was a happy little boy, times like that make all the practices and hard work not seem so bad.

Busy week for Donavan, he had an awards assembly for the nine weeks. He mamde the honor roll and was recognized for getting a positive referral. Donavan also had the SCA installation of officers. He wrote and spoke about their mission statement. I am very proud of my little boy.

Insight to Sierra's future personality traits

Halloween

Sierra loved Halloween. She made it around the whole block. She would say "treat" and "dank you". She did not allow anyone to hold her bag. She only got scared with the really scary stuff, but it never stopped her candy hunting.
On the other hand she did not enjoy her pumpkin picking. I will blame it on her being sick.
