(1) I'm officially coaching Karson's basketball team the Sparks. We are composed of a whopping six girls and playing division I (which is 6 & 7 year olds). I had the opportunity to attend a coaching seminar featuring the Lady Toppers. Besides the team and Coach Cowles, I was the ONLY female at the coaches meeting =). The Tops were running all kinds of "plays", "defenses", and "fastbreaks" that you can run with your team(s). I was thinking to myself....hummmm, I doubt most of mine even know how to tie their shoes, much less set a screen, pick and roll, while cutting down the lane to the basket???? We'll be doing good to shoot on our assigned goal and not need a water break every five minutes. We had our first practice on Friday. The girls were so excited and did so well. I would have pictures to post on here, but being the coach and all, I can't multi-task that well =). Maybe Matt can snap some soon??? 
(2) Like October, November is full of birthdays in our family. My mom just celebrated hers on Friday, the 13th, Debbie, my mother-in-law will celebrate hers on Thanksgiving Day (the 26th), and Matt will celebrate at the end of the month on the 30th.
Karson and company at Ansley Vernon's fairy party this month. Karson was super psyched about applying her own make-up. She even attempted mascara alone causing her to have an ultra RED eye the next morning =).
(3) Karson finished up with her Super Saturday classes at WKU. She had a performance showcasing all the things she had learned this past Saturday. Her class was called "Molding Magic With Monsters" based on the book "Where the Wild Things Are?" She could HARDLY wait until her performance and got up at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, got her clothes on and was asking me at 7:15--"Mom, when are we leaving for my play?" (her play didn't start until 11:20).

We are the SKY monsters, we are, we are!!!
After Karson's performance, we took advanage of the beautiful scenery on Western's campus and attempted some family pictures. (My blogger header is one of them).
(4) My cousin Jennifer got married at the beginning on the month to Andy Clark. It's always fun getting together with my family in Louisville. Speaking of weddings, I'm happy to report that I'm gaining a new sister-in-law. Matt's brother Andrew got engaged to MacKenzie White this month. They are planning a September wedding next year.

(5) Lastest obsession: I'm completely addicted to eBay lately. I've found the best deals on there for children's clothes and my new favorite Matilda Jane WOMEN's LINE.
Hey girl! Love reading your updates! Those family pics on those stairs are sooo good! Were those just snapshots, or professional? And I love the header pic of the kids. How do you get "Tuesday Tots" on the pic? Do you have some kind of computer program that does that?
