Be Afraid...Be Very Afraid.....














































One of our local parks set up a haunted hayride this year, so Tim and I decided to take a walk through it. It was pretty scary during the day, I can't imagine how scary it must be at night! Happy Halloween!

Baby She's A Star!

Twice this football cheering season Angela has been on tv. Our local tv station has been broadcasting some of the games live, and thanks to DVR we have been able to see her on tv. In the first clip the cameraman was about a foot from her and she was a little embarrassed. In the push-up clip that's her in the back row, the first one. Check out the clips of our "tv star"!

Let's Go Liverpool!

Angela cheered for her first Varsity football game this past weekend. As Liverpool's football field is being re-done(a very sore subject in Liverpool), all of Liverpool's home games will be played at the Carrier Dome. It is such a hassle to go to the Dome, but I was surprised to see so many Liverpool fans there. Angela was very nervous before the game, I don't think she has ever even been to a football game. Her Coach told the girls that if they messed up, they would be benched, so Angela was so afraid she would get benched. She had to learn 50 cheers in about a week and a half, however she did great and didn't get benched. The cheerleaders have to do push-ups every time Liverpool scores, and as the final score was Liverpool 42-Fayetteville-Manlius-14, they had to do 42 push-ups. Angela is going to have some buff arms before the season is over! Here are some pictures and vidoes. Great job Angela!!

Working Girl!

Amanda got Angela to help out


Amanda and Frankie








Amanda started her first job last week. She is a day care assistant at a doggie day care center. Our next door neighbor Debbie told her there was an opening at the center, so she went down, filled out an application, and was hired. It's a perfect job for her; it's 3 miles from our house, she will never have to work past 6:00p.m., and it's not open on the weekends or holidays. Plus she gets to play with some really cute dogs. It's even getting easier for her to clean up after the dogs, (not her favorite part though). Congratulations Mimi!!

Even though the weather was not very good, we still had a fun 4th of July. Angela was camping up at Indian Lake in the Adirondacks with her gymnast friend Bailey and her family, and even though it was cold and windy, she had a lot of fun. We started with fireworks on Friday night up in Brewerton. Amanda's friends Mike and Kaitlyn, along with Dianne,Jake, Lisa,Mike, and Michael joined us on the Brewerton Bridge. It was really windy, but they were able to set off the fireworks. Tim didn't enjoy the company of the "Pabst Blue Ribbon" crowd, so he, along with Jake left before the fireworks even started. I will admit the crowd was a bit "colorful", so per Amanda's request we moved to the opposite side of the bridge. We could not see the fireworks as well, but it was definitely more family friendly. We planned to go out on the boat on Saturday, but again the weather did not cooperate, way to windy. So Amanda had some friends over, and Mark and Brandon Hood stopped by. It was a quieter 4th of July then we are used to, we usually have a party at our house, but it was very relaxing. We will definitely be ready for next year's 4th, weather permitting!
