Soccer - CDR - Nottingham

Soccer - Jacob played soccer this fall for the very first time, but he has decided that he loves it and that he is going to play soccer FOREVER! Here are a few pictures from his first game.

Getting a pre-game inspirational talk from the coach!

Jacob is #9

He got to play goalie for part of the game - he looks bored!


Here comes some action...let's just say that he became a better
goalie as the season went on...


The after-the-game inspirational talk from the coach...we'll get them next time!


The season is over...on to basketball...his first love :)

CDR - One of our favorite places on earth was the site of the fall youth retreat. Morgan is the only "youth" in our family, but when it comes to CDR...well, we all come along for the ride! It's a good thing they need chaperones :)


Here is Jacob doing the "Ms. Huffley" - she is a teacher at his and Haleigh's school that Haleigh is terrified of! Jacob likes to pretend he is her to scare Haleigh!

What a spaz!


Nottingham - Did you know we had an actor in the family? Neither did we until Morgan told us she won the part as "Martha" in the school musical Nottingham. It is the story of Robin Hood set in the 50's. It was very cute, funny, and a blast to see Morgan sing, dance, and act!
Morgan and Allyson "getting ready".

Morgan beginning to turn in to Martha!


Goodbye Morgan, Hello Martha!


Holt and Morgan as John and Martha after the performance.



You would think this is more up Haleigh's alley, but she said she would NEVER do what Morgan did in front of all those people...so funny, and so opposite what I would think of my girls.

Our Star! We are so proud of her.

Jacob Turned 6!

Jacob turned 6 in September. He decided to go to Joe's Crab Shack for his birthday dinner.


They made him dress as 'Superman', but he didn't want to stand up and fly around the porch. So...he did his "I'm very uncomfortable smile" and just sat there while we sang to him.





The next day we celebrate with friends and family at the park. It was a beautiful day, and Jacob had a lot of fun.Lynzee, Morgan, and Haleigh decided that they would see if they could fit a whole cupcake in their mouths. They all can! Big mouths :)
Opening presents!

Lake of the Pines

We took our annual church camping trip, but this year we weren't able to go to Lake Texoma. We ended up in East Texas at Lake of the Pines. It is very beautiful, and we had a lot of fun. Here are a few pictures from our weekend.

FRIDAY

We had a great weekend at the lake, and we
are looking forward to next year already :)
