Centennial Titans Move to 2-1!

The Centennial Titans moved to 2-1 on the season as they pummeled the Pirates of Mesquite Poteet 26-14! Yea Titans!!!!!! That's the only commentary I've got this week because the kids and I stayed home. Chris did say the Titans were down 14-15 at the half, then came back big in the second half. Sounds exciting, huh!!!! :)

We didn't go the game partly because Carley had her first t-ball game of the Fall season (and the other part because Mesquite is a good ways away!)! She had a great time and of course, did fabulous! Her team is the Cubs and they have three girls this season, instead of two like last season. So, there is a little more Girl Power in the dugout.

After the game she was supposed to go over to her friend Taylor's house for her first sleep over. To make a long story short, she was back at our house not even 15 minutes after I left her at the pizza place with Taylor's family. It was quite funny, actually. When Taylor's mom and dad dropped her off, their whole car was crying... Carley was crying because she wanted to come home, Taylor was crying because Carley wasn't spending the night and Taryn (Taylor's younger sister) was crying because Taylor wanted to then spend the night at our house. Taylor then tells her parents on the way home, "This is the worst night ever!" :) DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA!

Back To School

Both kiddos started school today! Carley just loves school. The school is in our church, so my office is just right down the hall. Ms. Mary, Carley's teacher, popped her head in to tell me she and the other teacher decided there was nothing they can teach Carley because she knows everything already. She is so smart... it's the ONLY thing she got from me. :)
Campbell had a great day, too. He goes Tuesdays and Thursdays and cried a little, but Ms. Linda took him over to play with the dinosaurs and he was fine. Ms. Kathy told me how sweet and cute he is and that she just loves him. Umm, Yeah!! Tell me something I don't know! ;)

So handsome!

Here is Campbell's two year old picture (via Portrait Innovations in Plano), even though we took it 2 1/2 months after his second birthday! ;) Such the little stud-muffin!

Ouch, that hurt!

Chris' Centennial Titans lost a close one last night to the McKinney Boyd Broncos. Since the kids and I had t-ball practice and parent orientation at Carley and Campbell's school first, we didn't get to the game until right at half-time. At that time, the score was 28-7 Broncos!! Not a good sign, but Carley and I knew us three must be the Titan's good luck charm because they scored as we were walking up the parking lot. :)

In the third quarter the Titans came back with another touchdown and in the fourth, another one! Score is now tied 28-28. The defensive battle began and after two or three "3 down and outs" later and with 3 minutes now (I think) left in the game, a Bronco broke through with a great run to score a touchdown, making it 35-28 Broncos. Titans were on their way back, but with 1:06 left in the game, threw an interception and it was all done (other than three little piddly running plays by the Broncos to run the clock out)!

Such a heart-breaker! But, what a great game! Good job, Titans! Next week.... MESQUITE!!!

(How's that for broadcasting skills! I could go up against Erin Anderson ANY day of the week, right honey?!!!!)

Go Titans!!!

Chris' first football game of the season was Friday night. The Titans won 71-20!!! It was awesome and so nice to be on the winning side for a change. (Sorry, Honey!) Hopefully, this is is a sign of a good year to come. The kids had a blast, of course!

O.K. let me explain - Carley got a new cheerleader outfit from another coach's daughter who outgrew hers. Campbell was NOT happy about Carley getting something new and not him. The only way to calm him down was to get her old outfit out for him. Then, all was well with the world again! He kept that outfit on for hours, too!! A little unnerving, but you have to admit, pretty darn cute! :)

At the game on Friday!

Where do I start?

Hello all!! Oh my goodness, where do I start.. it has been SOOOOOO long since our last post, that there is absolutely no chance of catching you all up on everything that has gone on since then! So, I put together a quick glimpse at what we did over the summer all in one post. Then, we will just have to start anew! I promise to do better this time... :)

Carley, Campbell and Chris went fishing pretty much all spring and summer long. They love it!!

This past Spring, Carley won MVP of her t-ball team! We are playing again this fall and will soccer a try in the spring!

Chris and the kids decided to pitch a tent in the backyard and camp out one night. After 2 hours of trying to put a tent up only to find out it didn't have all the pieces - then borrowing our neighbors - the fun was on! 50 minutes later the camp out was over and both kids were knocking on the back door. It was funny at the time, but we will NOT be going to all the trouble again any time soon! :)

Campbell is such a big, little boy - he turned 2 on June 27! Time sure does fly...

Campbell moved up to a big boy bed! It is actually sad to see the empty crib in the corner. But as Carley says, "We'll just save it for the grand kids."

4. We had a FANTASTIC family trip down to San Antonio. It was so much fun having pillow fights in the hotel room and Sea World was amazing!

Picture Time

Hi All! It has been soooo long since my last post, I apologize! But, these pics will certainly make up for it. I took the kids today to get their pictures made and they turned out really cute! We were in there for two hours, most of which was me trying to decide on which ones to get because they were all so darn good! Here are the ones we picked, plus a few others. :) They, of course, look better printed since the photographer cropped and resized them all. Enjoy!
