I never in a million years would have thought that after all this time I am absolutely bored if there is no home game on Friday nights. I love to go to them now and I am actually getting to where I know what is happening during the game. The three of us go to every home game. Shaleigh goes and watches the cheerleaders during the game and cheers right along side of them from the stands. It is so much fun to watch her trying to learn the cheers just by watching them. Cody sits in his stroller and just looks around at all the people and tries to see everything. There is not a single girl and most of the boys that don't stop by to visit with him. I sit there and visit with my friends whose kids are cheering right along side of Shaleigh.

Kristie and Lucas have come to one game so far and hope many more to go with those two precious little ones. They are getting a 21 month old little girl named Trinitity. I look forward to seeing her this weekend. We must try and find her a little cheerleader outfit so that she will be like Shaleigh.

So until next time......GO HORNETS!!!!!!

Cody and his Bunny

Hello Mr Bunny

How about a kissOkay honestly just wanted to suck on your ear

I haven't had a lot of time to post more of Cody so here it goes. He has become a little more mobile and scoots around the bed with his head down. He comes to a stop and raises his head and looks around and seems to say, "No this is not where I want to be". Lowers his head and scoots around again. He is so ready to crawl if he would just take his thumb out of his mouth he will be gone.

One night while laying in bed with him because he was in a playful mood I handed him his bunny and he automatically started chewing on it. I believe that is a sure sign of him teething and if that isn't enough of one him drooling shows it also.

Well folks it has finally happened....Shaleigh is in Kinder. Yesterday was the first day of school, she jumped out of bed ran to get ready and then realized that the sun was not up yet. She asked me where it was and I told her she beat it up this morning. She was so excited. She got an awesome teacher Ms. Lopez and has one friend in her class. The rest of her playschool friends all got into another class. She misses being with them so much. I hope that it works out....

I can just see me going to the counselor....Shaleigh doesn't like coming to school because she isn't in the same class as her other friends. I will only approach the counselor if Shaleigh starts to suffer and can't learn. She is in a class mostly of Hispanics and the teacher teaches ESL so I hope she will still work with Shaleigh and Brooklyn. Lets hope this year turns out to be a great year.

We have so much extended family it is unbelievable. This is Mya she belongs to Kristie's side of the family who have adopted us as their own. This is the first time that we have had the chance to really get to know Mya even though her and Shaleigh are great friends.

We had them and Aunt Sandie down for a swimming party and they had so much fun it was amazing to see them having fun and laughing together. Mya lives in Dallas area and they only see each other at Christmas break.

This year they even went to Wonderland together which I don't believe we have ever taken Shaleigh to, the last time we went she was just a baby. They rode all the rides together so it was even more fun they had each other. The funnest part of the night was the Fantastic Journey (haunted house). They were okay with going in with Kori but after they got in the only pictures I have is of them covering their eyes. That is so funny to me and when we came out they were both crying. Guess they weren't big girls like they thought they were. They rode numerous rollercosters, water rides and ended up soaked, and all the kiddie rides together along with Kori and Dan. Sandie and I rode some rides but not all.

Swimming lessons began with a bang this year. It is our second year of lessons and she is doing so well. In fact now she does not even use floaties and she spent the biggest part of the time in the deep end. She has enjoyed going to lessons with her friends and enjoys being in the pool. I'm so proud of all that she has accomplished in the water.

This year she shared lessons with Cimmarron and her mom and Katilyn came almost everyday and Katilyn loved to entertain Cody when he would come. I enjoyed it more because Julia was there to talk to. Overall swimming lessons was a big hit again and look forward to many more years of swimming lessons. I want her to be a strong swimmer and we still have Cody to look forward to in future years.
