Awana Grand Prix time!



Daniel is the proud winner of the second place trophy for speed at this year's derby race. There were over 60 cars, and who would have thought our car, that did not get too much fine-tuning time, would be so fast!!!! It only lost to first place by thousandths of a second or something crazy like that. Yeah for Daniel!!!!!!!

2nd Annual Husky Fun Run









The three elementary kiddos participated in a fundraiser call the Husky Fun Run at their school this past Saturday. They chose to run the 1 mile, as none of us are really in good enough shape to run the 5K without working up to it. Paul and I "ran" with the kids. Paul and Daniel were up toward the front, while the girls and I started strong, but ended kind of slow!! :) The funny thing is, Paul won the 1 mile run for the adults. Daniel decided to walk part way through, as he was just too tired, probably starting out too fast. :) It was funny to see our dad up getting his picture taken with the winners. Who knew?????? After the run there were games, food, face painting, etc. going on in the parking lot. The kids performed a song called "The Power of One." They really got into the emotion of the song!!!!! So cute! Daniel's 3rd grade teacher is the one getting the pie in the face, as their class raised a big amount of money!

Do you remember being nine?












Almost double digits for Daniel! Daniel doesn't like for his birthday to NOT be on a weekend, so we only went to one of his favorite Tex Mex places for dinner on his actual birthday. No celebrating until Friday night, when we can stay up late and not feel rushed. Uncle Phil and cousin Ryan came and celebrated with us. Daniel does not like cake, so we opted to have ice cream sundaes. We had a good time! Daniel has grown up to be such a fine, handsome young man!

Trick or Treat 2008






What a beautiful evening we had to go out and beg for candy. Cinderella, Snow White, and Mr. Ohio State loaded up their pumpkins with all kinds of goodies. Actually, Derek and a friend ended up with all kinds of candy, too. They didn't even need costumes. People thought they were already wearing them. Frightening ones at that! :)
