ThE rEcItAl

Just last Saturday was

the annual

piano recital.

N8 played "Malaguena".

(Craig thought he should have donned a pencil mustache, red sash, and bullfighter's cape.)

Chels played "Maple Leaf Rag".

Come on, N8--smile for the camera.

Almost there.

Ah-ha! A smile!
Today they begin practicing

songs for Christmas.

(What songs would you suggest?)

In other breaking news...
our YW & YM went to the Reno Temple.
(That's a big group!)

(Our family traveled home via Scheels.)

And yet, more news...
Chels and N8 received the coveted YM/YW "Know-it-all" Awards,

N8 is now a Life Scout,

and Chels and N8's school pics came out.

We bought the CD, so we can post them all over the place!

(Hmmm, 'have to print a copy for Maddie and Scout's doghouse.)

Lastly (but not leastly),

N8 ran JV in Winnemucca last Friday.

'Came in 6th. (out of 36),

and medaled.

Go N8!

Ah-Ha, FaMe!

Last Friday, at 3:00 p.m.,

it was 90 degrees,

and CCHS ran cross country in Fernley.

CCHS boys took the meet.

(Above is my favorite runner.)

3.1 miles of fun--

up and down two hills

'Got H2O?

There are only 4 CCHS girls who

compete in cross country.

They need five to have a team.

Last week, they gave out medals

to the top six.

(Chels came in 7th.)

This week, Chels came in 6th., and

they gave out medals to the first five.

Winnemucca's tomorrow. We figure she will

come in fourth for the girls.

(Of course, they might only give medals out to the first three.)

RuN, rUn, RuN aWaY!

Oops, a little late in posting....

The Dayton Meet!

Our favored male contestant!

The last leg of 3.2 miles

Go, N8!
He does very well. His time improves each week.

(B.T.W.: The Fallon Boys almost took 1st., 2nd., and 3rd. but
got lost and came in the wrong way. The course wasn't too
well marked.)



Now, Chels is off and running!

'Coming through the finish line
(She was 7th. in the girls' division.)

In a few hours,

they'll be running away in Fernley.

(Stay tuned for breaking news.)

Up On ThE rOoFtOp....

Home sweet home.

Notice anything unusual?

Look again.

What's that?

A roof resident?

Nope...just Craig.

The eaves needed to be painted.

Which leaves one with this question:

Is his will current?

I'm happy to say the eaves are painted,

and

my husband is still in one, unharmed piece.

What a man!

'Love that guy!

ReAdY, sEt....

Go!

Yep, N8's running Cross Country for the Wave.


Chels too!


They had one meet in Gardnerville

and another in South Tahoe.

Go team!

In other news...

We met Der and Marie in Tahoe.

Carter too!

Boat rides on the lake,

romping in the waves,

and, what's this????

P.D.A. on the beach?

Aaaah, it was a great Labor Day weekend!

WhAt ChA' dOiN'?????

'Not a whole lot

since school has started,

but,

we did go to Tahoe where....

Chels modeled her shorty-shorts, and

N8 showed off the latest in footwear.

F.D.C. lounged on the beach

while Chels and N8 raced

the local boats.

'Gotta love that place!
