We survived...
They are expecting a record crowd, several thousand people are expected. Its senior night (last home game so they honor the seniors) and its black out...meaning the boys get to pull out the new black uniforms that they only wear once a year and the crowd is suppose to dress all in black.
Should be a very interesting and exciting evening!

Birthday Boy!
Our little Buddha baby (i bet you'd never guess that he was a chunk once!!)


here is a poem that Rich wrote for Austin that went in his senior yearbook in the dedications...maybe alittle dated but true just the same..even to this day, i think he is still Blue Ridges biggest fan!
Austin Jones
Thanks for the ride
At times we wanted to hide
From the crazy and weird things you did.
As you have your own style.
And the people that smile.
At our goofy, and tall skinny kid.
Dolphin tag what a game
Will Blue Ridge ever be the same?
And as the cheer “let’s go Austin” dies out
Not many will doubt
Of the difference you made.
On your way to 12th grade.
Not afraid to stand out
Or to get up and shout
Sometimes it was you and none else.
The courage it takes
To find new hands to shake
It’s a wonder how brave you can be.
What a journey it’s been
With one of BR’s biggest fans
And the joy and the fun we have had
So this we say now
That of you we are proud
And are glad that you are our son.
Love
Mom and Dad

Weekly sports update
Well here it is Tuesday already and no one has said....HEY! WHERES THE SPORTS UPDATE!!! so maybe its not as popular as i thought.
But here it is just the same for the one or two people that might be wondering
Taylor's softball team played against Round Valley in Round Valley last Thursday and they lost AGAIN 8-1 which may not sound good but the girls were so excited that they lost by a much smaller margin then usual! LOL Taylor actually got the bat on the ball....foul ball but just the same....she FINALLY hit it!!
Hayden's Football team played against Camp Verde on Friday and luckily he was feeling better and was able to play. We had a very poor first half only scoring 7 points but made up for it big time in the second half. Yellow Jackets win 35-7 Hopefully we can step it up now as conference games start this week and this is when it really counts and when it really gets harder!
Noah and Sawyer played on Saturday in the on again-off again rain against Snowflake. They did not have to play until 1:00 this week so we got to go and enjoy the fall festival parade before the game (which Austin was in with the high school marching band) The boys team won the game against Snowflake.... 33-12 (i think) and played great as usual!

Character counts...
got a call last week from the school inviting us to the character counts award assembly today because one or our kids was receiveing the award and we had to promise to not tell him because it was a surprise..... apparently they choose two kids from each class to receive the award. this months theme is respect. so i bet you will NEVER guess correctly who in this family was getting this award?!?!

????????
YEP! it was NOAH!!!!! (don't be so shocked!!!) LOL
So the kids start coming in...Noah does not even see us, but Sawyer does BIG SMILE on his face...so.....ya, that means we are there for him.....oh my....
when he figures out what is going on as they are calling names he starts to cry...Noah is now up in front in his chair searching for Sawyer...he sees him.....he feels bad for him.
after it was over while they were taking pictures for the newspaper we called Sawyer over and talked to him...he felt alittle better when he went back to class i think but when Noah got done he came up to us and gave us the gift card they got for free pizza and said..."can you go give this to Sawyer please" ohhhh then i lost it! my hard headed, not always nice at home boy just showed off his really shinny heart!!! oh sooo sweet
ohh the joys of having twins! we saw the bad points today as well as the good.
Congrats to Noah for being such a good citizen and having respect for others....but most of all for loving your brother so much that you thought of him before yourself!
your amazing!
