a new season begins...

Haley's first spike of the year...

Her new teammates

Haley Tebowing... I told her she is starting to be too much of a hotdog. Luckily it wasn't during a game, just a pose for a photo.

An afternoon of fun in the snow finally...

Mush... Mush!

Let the fun begin...

Haley was pretty jacked to get a compound bow for Christmas

Blake couldn't wait to get his big boy underwear on... hasn't had it on since! LOL

On her new electric scooter!

Boys love big trucks!

Kettle corn for Haley's friends over Christmas break...

Thanksgiving eve trip to Columbus

Haley's friends Paige, and Victoria joined us for a trip to Ohio State to watch the Buckeye's take on Penn State in an exciting night of fast paced volleyball.

First attempt at kettle corn

Unfortunately it didn't turn out so good... it didn't pop! next time we will have to let the kettle heat up more first!

Fun in the leaves

McKinley/Massillon spirit week haircuts...

Daniel and Dylan asked Brad to cut their hair for spirit week just like he did for their dad about 20 years ago... you can tell he has been out of practice! But not to bad after all that time!





By the way the McKinley Bulldogs won in a thriller of a game. After leading most of the day, they had to come back with 1:16 left in the fourth quarter scoring a touchdown with 9 seconds left to take the lead for good... The Ohio State Buckeyes later won in the same fashion that night, beating the Wisconsin Badgers in the last second to top off a great football Saturday!
