Fall Festival

The boys had a good time at the Fall Festival at East Chester.  They all three went home with faces painted and goody bags from playing games. It was a fun night. 


I'm a Chester County eagle now!! 

God Bless the U.S.A

I love playing soccer!!! 

Glow Run

On the first weekend in November Henderson had their first (to my knowledge) Glow Run. This was a very fun event for us all. There was music and lots of runners/walkers who came together to have a fun evening in the dark! This was Cade's very first run ever and my first run since having foot surgery back in May. We both signed up to do the 1 mile walk/run. Sarah and Paden brought Seth over to run with Cade. We all wore glow bracelets and necklaces so we could be seen running down the road. It was very cool seeing all the runners lit up! We're looking forward to next years Glow Run! 

Cousins are great!! 

I don't think anyone had a problem seeing us in these neon t-shirts! 

A few of our favorite fans! Paden, Sarah, Lilly Kate and Chad.

Chance's soccer season ends

Chance had a great soccer season. Coach Claude Bailey did a great job with the boys. Chance learned a lot and enjoyed playing.  


The boys enjoyed eating pizza and playing together before getting trophies from their coach. These boys had a lot of fun together this season.

Happy Halloween

For halloween this year the boys chose their costumes from our dress up box! Cade went as Darth Vader. Chance went as a ninja. Cooper went as a pirate/ninja/cowboy! He wore  pirate pants, a ninja shirt, and carried a pistol. That's what he wanted to be so that's we let him go as. They had a great time at trunk or treat playing games, visiting with friends, and of course collecting candy!

The Deffenbaughs won the costume contest with their Flintstone family costumes! They looked great! A lot of time went into making those costumes i"m sure.

Cade's History Project

Cade is having an incredible year in third grade. He has a wonderful teacher and some great classmates.   The class was asked to complete a project on landmarks and symbols. They could choose anything they wanted. They had to give at least 5 facts about whatever they chose. Cade chose the Liberty Bell for his project.  He researched the Liberty Bell, chose his 5 facts, and typed them on my computer. I helped him put it together. He was very proud of the finished product.


Pumpkin carving time

 We had our adopted students over from Freed Hardeman for supper and pumpkin carving. We had a great time and ended up with some very nicely carved pumpkins. The boys love having their adopted siblings over. The students are so good to play with the boys and make them feel special. That means a lot to me and makes these students special to our family.

 We have a great group of kids.
