Performance @ Central High

My smart, responsible Syd...

Sydney got her first 3rd grade report card last Friday and it was PERFECT! By perfect I mean, all A's, all S's, and perfect attendance. We couldn't ask for any better and are so proud of Syd. I have to say that 3rd grade has been a big adjustment...for Sydney and me both. We do a lot more studying and homework than ever before. I guess that's just what happens as you get older.

Also, Sydney was picked to represent her class at Hall of Fame this month. The character word for the month was "Responsibility". Here's a picture of her getting her certificate and Chee Burger Chee Burger coupon. It also happened to be P.J. day, hence the monkey pajamas.

Pumpkin Patch

Carson's class went on a field trip to the Pumpkin Patch a couple of weeks ago. His daddy took off to go with him and they had a great time. Cam said that Carson loved the hayride and insisted on picking a "baby" pumpkin.

Syd's a "Thriller"

Here is Sydney's cheer performance from this past Friday night at the Central High football game. She is on the right front as you're watching the video. Enjoy!

Lots of pictures from the past 2 weeks and Halloween coming soon...

Being resourceful...

How else would such a little guy get a big refrigerator open?

Grandparent's Day

Our sweet, sweet Nana was in town during Grandparent's Week at school. Syd was so excited that she could come to her class and have lunch with her. I thought this was the cutest picture.

**Thanks, Nana...you're the best!! We love you!!**

A Month in Reverse

I can't believe it's been over a month since I last updated. I don't think I've ever been such a blog slacker. Hopefully things will be a little slower this month and I'll be able to keep up. Here's a quick update on what everyone's been up to.

Cameron did a lot of traveling for work since I last updated. He was gone to Wisconsin, St. Louis, and Tampa much of the month. He's been home the last couple of weeks and we couldn't be happier!! I am not a big fan of the traveling but am very thankful that he brings home a paycheck, so I won't complain.

As for me, I've been busy chasing the kids around, especially Syd. Her schedule keeps me running all the time. School is going well. I have a very sweet class and am really enjoying this year.

Sydney is still cheering and playing basketball. She is doing great in school and will hopefully still have all A's come Thursday (end of the 1st 9 weeks).

Carson has a new love for "floss teeth". (dental floss) Crazy, I know! The kind we use is mint flavored so he thinks it has "canies on it". (candies on it) He talks, sings, runs, and climbs all the time and seems to still love his new school. His favorite things to do are bug his Sissy (he definitely has that down to an art), doe-pop with Daddy (tackle each other), and ride his tricycle through the house.

*Lolli and Pop came up to visit yesterday so we took Carson to the Rodeo at the State Fair. He loved it all, especially the bull riding. Sydney was gone to a friend's birthday party and had way more fun doing that I'm sure.

* Last weekend we went to DQ to see Kaci in homecoming. We loved getting to visit with friends and family as always.

Sydney and her Boppy

Dawny Bear's granddaughter Kylee was there with her mom and dad. Carson loved holding her.

*A couple of weeks ago Sydney's cheer squad performed at Fulbright's book fair at Barnes and Noble. You're thinking, "How could 27 girls possibly cheer, dance, tumble, and do stunts inside Barnes and Noble?" right. I really have no idea either but they did and looked great doing it.

Sydney and her friend Madison

Sydney stunting

*I helped with a baby shower for my friend Erin at the end of September. She has since had baby Benjamin Andrews. Congrats Drew, Erin, and ME!!

(I stole this pick from your blog Erin, thanks)

*We had a big get together at my Aunt Kelly's house in Conway a few weekends ago. The weather was perfect, the food was even better, there was lots of good company, and the Hogs won!!

Bubby taught Syd how to hurdle over the Ladder Ball thing.

Davo was all smiles for the camera as usual.

The boys were trying to figure out just how Ladder Ball works.

Lots of four-wheeler riding took place.

Sydney's friend Madison came with us to keep her company.

*My sweet nephew, Davis, turned 2 on September 21st. We had a blast at his party.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVO!! WE LOVE YOU!

Carson looks deep in thought while trying out Davis' birthday present. I'm sure he was thinking, "How can I get this thing out the gate and to my house?"

So, there's the last month is a nutshell. Hope you've all had a great month, too!
