TFPSA Messer Fall Ball

Michaela had another winning season on her TFPSA Messer Fall Ball Team, Medtech Forensics. She was coached once again by her Dad and Andy NeSmith. Since they had won their spring season wearing purple they decided to try it again for the fall. It must be a winning color because the girls won the tournament. Way to go girls!!!

NWLLL Fall Baseball Team

Kelly played on a great fall Minor League team this fall. He was a great asset to the Bullets and played alot on 2nd, 3rd and Short Stop. He even pitched a few innings and did a great job for his first time pitching. Kelly made alot of new friends and had an awesome season...he can't wait to play Minor League this spring!!!

Marching Band Festival

Nana, Kelly and I went to watch Madie and the Leon Marching Redcoats compete in the annual MPA Festival. They were awesome and did an excellent job that day. The band received an overall Excellent and the colorguard received their first Excellent.
GO REDCOATS!!!

JROTC Marine Birthday Ball

Madie and I went to the Leon ROTC Birthday Ball. We went together earlier in the week and had our hair done and we both wore new dresses. Madie's escort for the evening, Trevor, met us at the ball. Madie and I were supposed to sit in the back but were invited to sit with the Gentry family up front. Carole Gentry's father was the guest speaker for the event and he gave a great speech. After dinner there was a very nice program put on by the drill team and then a dance. It was a very nice evening.

Kelly's field trip to the Jr. Museum

Kelly's 3rd grade class went to the Jr. Museum for a field trip today. They had a guided tour and got to do lots of cool things like ... make butter, plow and plant a field and participate in a day in a one room school house. We even took a quick little trip around the trail after lunch to look at some of the animals. I am so glad that I got to join Kelly and his class on the trip!

Keel family hot dog roast

This year's Keel family annual hot dog roast had to be held on Sunday night due to everyone's busy schedule. We had a great time roasting hot dogs, eating smores, jumping on the trampoline, bobbing for apples and visiting with family and friends.

TRICK OR TREAT!

We went Trick-or-treating with the NeSmith family and had a blast!! The kids started out riding on the back of the wagon but after the first house it was just us mom's...and we had so much fun. Afterwards we went back to Nanci's parents house for some wonderful chili.

Leon Homecoming

Leon's Homecoming celebrations were held at their school field. The band marched before the game and did an awesome job as usual. Got some great shots of Madie watching the game from the railing.
GO LEON LIONS!!!

Leon Fall Band Concert

Leon High School had their first band concert of the year and we enjoyed listening to the wonderful music. Madie and Hannah looked so beautiful in their band dresses and Robin and I snapped lots of pictures of the girls together.

Happy 13th Birthday Micheala

HOLY MOLY!!!
We have another teenage girl in the house!!!

Happy 13th Birthday Michaela!!!

We celebrated by taking our birthday girl to Sakura's for dinner. We had an awesome time and enjoyed lots of yummy food. Our waiter was very funny and made this great dessert for Michaela. They even sang to her but had lots of problems saying her name...it was so funny!!!

Leon vs Chiles

Jeff and I went to watch the football game...well actually the marching band. The girls finally have their uniforms and looked really cute in them. Go Leon Marching Redcoats.

Jeff actually let me buy him a Leon hat!!!

I love how the football team comes over to the band after they win and sing their school song with the band...it is so cool!!! What a great tradition.

Happy 9th Birthday Kelly!!!

Can't believe my baby boy is 9! Where has the time gone?

Labor Day Picnic

We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon sitting by the pool, eating, and visiting with family and friends. The NeSmith's joined all the Keel's for the afternoon. The kids, minus Madie (who sat with the adults and texted!) had lots of fun jumping in the pool and playing a made up "football" game.
