Muffin and Stuff

Brad woke up the other morning and had an idea, he said "lets get the kids a pet fish". So we went to the pet store to check out fish. The kids looked but weren't very interested. Then they spotted the tiny hamsters, all three of them said they wanted a hamster instead. So we picked the fattest one, since it had to be the healthiest one! They named her Turbo at first but then they all kept forgetting her name, and they came up with a new name, Muffin, and Muffy for short. Of course Brad had to pick out a cage for it that was the mother of all hamster cages. So there you have it, we purchased our first family pet! They don't touch it much, but they love to watch her run around in her little hamster ball.

"Muffy"

We went to the pumpkin patch with the scouts, and the kids all picked out a pumpkin. I can not believe that Halloween is this week, years just fly by, it's so crazy! Here are too crazy girls, Carsyn and Kimberly.

Caden and some of his scout friends.

Last, but definitely not least Carsyn got Student of the Month this month, she is an awesome girl, I love her personality! I am so proud of her!

Race Happenings

A few weeks ago all of the second grade classes went on a field trip to see Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, it was a pretty cute movie and the kids liked that it was in 3D.

Caden received the student of the month award at school this last month. He doesn't enjoy school work but does pretty good at it, we are proud of him even though he tries to fake sick a lot so he doesn't have to go to school! It has only worked once so far this year!

We went to Fresno on Saturday so Brad and his co workers could play in another softball game against the Fresno office. They played at some cool fields! They are replica fields that look just like real mlb fields, the one they played on was the replica field of Fenway Park, where the Boston Red Sox play. It even had a green monster! Pretty cool! Nixon was the only kid that came with us because Carsyn wanted to go to her friend's birthday party and Caden wanted to stay at his cousin Gavin's house. Nixon had fun with the other kids at the game, he even played in a little kick ball game, so cute!

Here is the Bakersfield team, the champs 2 times in a row!

Brad has two hernias right now and so running hurts really bad, he didn't want to run so he made the only homerun! :) Right over the Green Monster! Wow it was an awesome hit!!!
