San Marcos Comets Cheer Weekend

It was a big weekend for the Comet Cheer Squad. Saturday morning they cheered on the boys who unfortunately lost to the Torrey Pines Golden Falcons. The football players were very nice to give the girls blue carnations-Alexa's first flowers from a boy(s)!

Sunday was an all-day cheer competition at Viejas (formerly Cox) Arena at SDSU. The squad has been practicing all season for this competition-many hours of practices. She did FANTASTIC!! So proud of them~and fun to see all the other teams and what they had put together.

Kindergarten Field Trip to Albertson's

Justin's kindergarten class took their first field trip of the year on Friday to the San Elijo Albertson's. It was a lot of fun for the kids-many samples of healthy treats and learning about the food pyramid. Here they have made their own turkey roll-ups.

Another Autumn in Salt Lake City

Alexa & I arrived in Salt Lake City last Friday for a nice 4 day weekend with Steph, Jeff & the boys! We had a great time-weather was great. Lots of fun with the cute twins ;)

We went shopping on Saturday, and Auntie Stephanie got Alexa an early birthday present-a Build-A-Bear! Actually, it is a rabbit-but boy does it have some cute outfits-and a cell phone...of course.

Our trip to Thanksgiving Point for some harvest activities.

Snow already on the mountains!

Here are the boys at the park-we just loved how much they are talking now. Can't wait to see them again at Christmas!

Picking Pumpkins in Del Mar

Papa, Riley, Aunt Christine & Uncle Steve all came down to the Beach House this weekend to celebrate Papa's 68th birthday! Wowie Kazowie! Papa enjoyed playing golf with Doug, Brad & Steve and then he joined the grandkids at the Del Mar Pumpkin Station for rides, Petting Zoo and pumpkin purchasing.

Justin San Elijo AYSO

Justin began playing soccer in the boys under six age group at the beginning of September. His team is called the "Thunder". Fortunately, they don't keep score, and don't have goalies for this age bracket, so it's not real competitive yet.
Justin, ready for kick-off.

Justin is in black-with the ball.

Here's the cutie taking a break.

Pop Warner Night at Mission Hills Highschool

Mission Hills highschool hosted Pop Warner night last Friday night-an opportunity for the players to get up close with the varsity team and all the cheer groups to cheer for a quarter with the Varsity Cheer squad. Alexa is in the center here facing the camera.

Here is Alexa cheering with the big girls-she is in the middle towards the left with silver hair bow and white skirt.
