We are going to have 2 UAFS Lions in the family!!

Logan has decided to transfer from Lyon College to the University of Arkansas - Ft. Smith. He has thought a lot about it over the last few months. He is sad to be giving up Football, but feels it is what is best for him. Lyon is a hard school and trying to stay up on his studies w/the added hours of football practice is taking it's toll on him. He feels very stressed. We told him we would support him no matter what he decides to do. He registers for classes on Nov 11th. There are many great things about him being at UAFS:
His sister is there. They are so close and will be a great support system for each other.
They can carpool home.
He will be an hour and 1/2 drive away instead of 4 hour drive away.
If we need a kid fix we can drive up and take them to dinner. :)

Madison has declared her minor! She is going to minor in biology. She in interested in it plus she feels it will look good on her application for the OT program. Those of you that know how hard it is for her to make a decision will know this is a great thing! So she is majoring in Psychology w/biology for her minor. Sounds like she is on her way. I'm so very proud of her. She is working so hard to get what she wants. Go Madi!!!

Randy's 53rd B-day

Randy turned 53 on the 15th of this month. We went out to dinner but his actual bday celebration is this Saturday. We are heading to the casino for a little gambling and fun w/friends and family. Hopefully we will win some money! We haven't won at the casino in years but we usually have a great time. In honor of his bday here are some random pics of him. Isn't he handsome?!

Happy Birthday Baby!!!!

A few pics of My Madi...

I love that she comes home as often as she does...I so cherish her.

We are headed to Batesville this weekend for some Football!!! Go Scots!! #24

Since I'm a little pumped to watch Logan play some ball tomorrow I thought I would post a video w/some of his highlights from last year but I couldn't get the video to post. I guess I'm not tech savy enough! So I thought I would add a few football pics from last year...

The picture is of the first touchdown in Blackhawk's New Stadium last fall. (*Photo creds to Russ Wilson)

Our 2015 Family Beach Vacation is booked!!

We are staying in PCB again. (Our fav). This year there are 4 families going. The Gregory's (My brother, Kevin, and his family), The Truesdell's (Kathy & Samm), The Holliday's (Chuck, Sherri, Charlie (Madi's Love), and Us Roses. I'm sooo excited. We are going next July. We are staying in a cute house that is actually a main house w/a few attached apartments. So everyone will have their own space but we will also be able to be together when we want. It has 6 bedrooms, 4 living rooms, 4 kitchens, 5 bathrooms, and a pool! It's across the street from the beach on the quiet end of front beach road. I'm already so excited and I have 9 months to wait!

Misc Photos from this month....

We do not have any pictures of all of us w/Randy's parents. This picture was taken when we were waiting to eat lunch at the cracker barrel the weekend before the kids left for college. :)

Ethan & Logan after the scrimmage game in September. :)

Just me...proudly reppin Logan. Go Lyon Scots! #24!!

Us girls did some running around Batesville on Sunday after the scrimmage on Saturday evening. The guys stayed back at the dorms and watched a little football. Madi and I were sitting on a bench outside of a store waiting on Kathy and Samm and playing w/her phone. :)

Kathy & I at the scrimmage...

My new ride. I love her. She is so cute and after I bought her the paperwork said she is shoreline blue. How fitting is that knowing how much I LOVE the beach!

Girl's trip to the beach. I read 3 books,(Thank you Kathy)soaked up some sun, and just relaxed all week. Beautiful weather!
