Stitches

So we had our first experience with getting stitches. I am actually really surprised that it hasn't happened before now. I guess we have just been lucky.

We went to the High School Volleyball game last night and Peyton was playing with some of Bailey's friends between the games and ran into a window seal and cut above his eye. After cleaning all of the blood up we found that it would probably need stitches. So we were off to Evanston to visit Aunt Amy at the ER. (Peyton was really glad she was working and she could be his nurse) He ended up with 3 stitches and he was such a trooper. He only cried a little bit because he was nervous, and maybe a little when they gave him the shot to numb it. He actually almost fell asleep when the Dr. was stitching it up. Now he is just proud of it and can't wait to show it off at school for show and tell.

Bailey's Volleyball

Bailey played 7th grade Volleyball this year and again had another great season. They won most of their games. She was #2 and the setter for both the A and B teams. She loves playing and does a great job. We had a great time traveling with her and watching her and her team. Great job on a great year girls!!!!!

Team Picture

This year Tyus was old enough to play football. Boy was he excited!!! He did such a great job along with the rest of his team. They one all of their games except for the very last one against Mt. View. They played a tough game and just came up a little short. That's ok, they did such a good job. If they all stick with it they are going to be a tough little team when they get older. Tyus' number was 15 and his positions were Quarter Back, Kicker and on defense he was the middle line backer. He did a really good job at all of his positions. Chad got to help coach his team. He was over the defense. It was fun watching him work with the kids and he loved being there as much as Tyus loved having him there.

Peyton's Soccer

Peyton got to play soccer again this fall in Randolph. He loves playing so he was so excited when he got to play again. He was on the blue team. He did so good and got a lot of goals. His coaches were Andrea Mitchell and Teresa Smith.
