Who is This????

Michael Myers showed up in the haunted yard tonight. Any idea who this might be???????

Rain and More Rain

Well that is how this weekend started off...........rain and more rain. The football game was played in the heavy downpours. The band didn't wear there uniforms and the brass were the only ones that played. They played the Star Spangled Banner and only stood on the track to do that. Then they were dismissed. We managed to stay until half time but then that was all. The game was really good and Bloomsburg won 33 to 8. It is off to the playoffs. Well it rained Friday and Friday night and Saturday morning until almost noon. The football field was a mess so the band competition was cancelled. Pending the amount of bands that can attend we will have it Tuesday evening. Since the rain had stopped and there was no band competition we headed to Catawissa for the 100th year Halloween parade. It was a nice parade and they had fireworks afterwards, (we didn't stay for them). The streets were packed two and three deep at places. That brings us to today.........after church we had our last club soccer game. The kids played very well and won the game 4 to 2. Now don't think our lives will slow down just yet. We start indoor soccer on Saturday. Well I guess that is all the news from Fernville. Hope everyone had a good weekend, it's back to work tomorrow. Have a good week!

Heres a Scary One

This is my first time at a video, please be patient. I know it is not upright, couldn't get it to turn for some reason. But it is cool. This is the spooky one himself, with one of his favorite masks. The spookier the better! Happy Halloween Everyone!!!!!

Halloween Yard

Here are more pictures of our front yard. At night we see cars stopping out front to check it out. Brandon plans to be part of the yard Halloween night and scare the trick or treater's. The butcher has slimy eye balls and body parts on his tray. I think it looks great!! Can't imagine what the paper boy thinks with changes daily and he comes at dark now. The neighbor kids seem to like it too. Can't wait till Halloween night!!!

New Sidewalk

Here is a picture of our new sidewalk out front. My brother has drew my attention to the fact that I have not shown you an updated shot after posting them tearing it up. Now in my opinion I think he needs to sleep more and less computer. But I love him, so here is the update. Enjoy!!

The Halloween Yard

These are a few things in my front yard. Can you guess which one is real and which isn't. I will add a few more pictures of our yard. Brandon has worked hard at setting it up. We all have been out there at one time or another. He is taking after his Uncle Jim.

Homecoming Parade

Here is Nicole and Kalista waiting for the parade to start. Some of you viewing this may notice and remember the banner in the back ground. This banner was made by the parents when my brother was in the high school band. Yhea that old!!!! Nicole and Kalista did really well gathering candy and other souvenirs at the parade.

Homecoming

Here you are seeing the band parade around the track before the homecoming game on Saturday afternoon. The game was cancelled Friday night due to the rain and played on Sat. This made for a very busy Saturday. They had the homecoming parade in the morning and then a break until 3pm when they had to head for the school to practice with the alumni. Then at 4pm was the parade around the track and the show to follow. They then crowned the king and queen. You will see Brandon in the middle of the middle row.
Here is Brandon marching in the homecoming parade uptown. His first parade, and he liked it.
Here is the band show and a shot of Brandon.

Yet, another shot of the band show homecoming night. I do have to admit Brandon looks good in that uniform, a real natural. Bloomsburg beat Lewisburg with a score of 47 to 20. Go Panthers!!!!

Back to the Grind

Well fair week is over and it was back to work. We had another busy week, between soccer and band and football games we keep pretty busy. The kids had picture day this week, I have to say they both looked GREAT! I will share them when they come back. Updates............I am loving my job at the high school. The kids got there progress reports today and they both are doing wonderful. Looks like both on honor roll maybe even distinguished honors. They really are great kids, they come home and do there homework right away without even being told. We played Central in football tonight and beat them 42 to 6. Must say the band looked really good too. We have to close of the camper for the season this weekend. It is hard since the weather has been so nice and warm. Well I guess that is all for now. Next week is a football game and a band competition. Always keep smiling!!!!

Nothing but Garbage Left

I had to go to the fair on Sunday morning to pick up our entries. I thought I would take some pictures of the midway the day after. As you can see it is starting to look empty. Today (Monday) they cleaned up all the garbage and it looks a lot better. It is sad to see it go but next year will be even better!! My brother and his family will be coming for fair week, I can't wait to take the kids and Scott is really looking forward to fair.

Across the Fairgrounds

Just had to share this photo with you. We were in the grandstand section C row 13, watching the demo when Mom called and was waving to us. They were on the other side of the track and I was able zoom in on them. If you click on the picture you will get a better view. What an awesome camera!!

The Demo

This year we took the kids to the demo at noon on Saturday. The main reason for going was that Keith had a car in the demo. Here you will see Keith entering for the first heat. Then the smashing and bashing!!! Yes that is Keith on the stage collecting his trophy for winning the first heat. Hooray!!!! Then it was on the finals he did really good but didn't win, but at least he got that far! The last picture is of Keith with his car at the final. Good Job Keith!!

Final Day of the Fair

Here is a picture of Vern, Nancy, Mom, Dad, Brandon and Nicole, the last day of the fair. We had the pleasure of enjoying the Sherwoods company and they shared there grandchildren (Megan and Sophie) too. It was really nice to see Stacy and Brad (Nancy's son and daughter-in-law) and their children. We actually got to see them twice this week and join them at the fair. Megans favorite place at the fair was the kiddie rides especially the carousel and the elephants. We were very lucky to spend time with Nancy's daughter Stephanie, who had came home for a visit from China. She surprised everyone here on Sunday when her and her husband came up with Vern and Nancy. But we did get another day with her on Saturday before she had to head back. The middle picture is of Chris working at Heaps Diner Stand at the fair. He took vacation from Kawneer and worked at the fair all week. It was nice he didn't have to sleep in the afternoons and could walk around with us each night. The final picture is Brandon's favorite mini donuts, actually they have become a family favorite. Right Dad..................
