The Marion Family: When did Fall get here?

I feel as though School just started but when I look at the calendar and see that it's November 5th, I think where did September and October go. Since it has been so long I think I will give an overall of what everyone has been up to and then include pictures at the end. So lets see what has been going on with the Marion's.
Kenedy- was again invited to join the Dance team this year. Her Dance studio (Rowes) invited to be a part of their Junior Dance team and to participate in the Nutcracker Ballet that they put on every year. This would take a big commitment and required her to make a choice Dance team or gymnastics team. She went with Dance. She is still taking one 90 minute floor tumbling class that I am helping to coach. She misses doing the bars, vault, and balance beam, but is excited to be a part of the dance team and the Nutcracker. Kenedy is still loving 3rd grade and her teacher. Thank goodness I dont know if we could of survived another year of mean kids! Her teacher told me that she is precious (well of course) and loves to learn. She brought home straight A's on her report card (as usually). Something else exciting for her is that she made the UIL team at her school. She will be competing in music memory. Oh and she also made the school choir. How so much Smarts & talent can be rolled into that little body is amzaing. She is amazing, not to mention that she is absolutely beautiful and has a kind heart.
Blake- Blake started soccer this fall. He is loving it and where he has scored at least one goal a game his favorite is playing defense. (I find that very interesting since Ryan coaches Defense in football and most children care mostly about scoring) Blake is of course loving football season as usually. It fascinates me how intense he is when he watches the game. He is very involved in what is going on and makes coments like "ooo did you hear that hit? "It went Crunch" Or "did you see them drag that football boy" Blake has a football hero. His name is Hunter Holland and he is a senior for the Bulldogs. Blake has known Hunter for the past few years (He goes to our church) but has just discovered that Hunter is a great football player. Hunters number is 14 but Blake calls it number 1 4. Hunter is a great kid who will be attending college at the AirForce Acedemy. Blake is also enjoying Pre-k and his teacher is FANTASTIC! Secretly she has told me that Blake is her favorite. (well of course he is)
Ryan-What an amzing guy he is. He is of course working his normal football hours 70 to 80 hours a week.He has not missed one of Blake's Soccer games, and is fininshing his last semester of his master's degree. Kenedy says her favorite thing about her Dad is that he is creative. (trust me these are words that would never be associated with me.) She likes that he gives her bear hugs and helps make tents for her and Blake to play in.
Me-I am enjoying teaching 4th grade Language Arts and Social Studies. I miss Kindergarten, but have also grown to love 4th grade. I guess I like different things about both grades.

Okay now for the pictures you have all been waiting for.
