Driving around today I was shocked to see homes already adorned with Christmas lights and plastic Santa's in their yards. I have just adjusted to fall. Could Christmas really be around the corner? I am SERIOUSLY NOT ready!! I love Christmas but I have to prepare myself for the craziness that comes with that time of year. I hope it to be more peaceful, more focused on Christ.
Last week was so fun! The older girls had their Varsity Banquet and it was great! The Senior girls "passed the torch" (or ball) to another girl and said something special to that girl. Hayli passed hers to Kayla and when she spoke about Kayla we were all in tears! It was so sweet. I know they will miss playing together. Hayli is not playing club this year. She is going to work and save for BYU...more on that later. Kayla had a pretty tough tryout up at a big club in Kennesaw..about 65 miles from our house. With traffic it takes me about 90 minutes to get there. We chose this club because it is the only good club that does NOT practice on Sundays. She just got a call last night to say she made the team. I am excited to start the club season.
Back to Hayli and BYU. We registered her for housing this past Saturday. It was CRAZY!! Literally, seriously, within 3 minutes of logging on (right at the start time) there were 3280 people in line (via the tele) waiting to register. We thought we had really done our research about which housing to pick but I kinda freaked out at the last second wondering if where we chose was the right place. Mostly because of the frenzy of people waiting!! I guess it only matters if she gets accepted!!!
I also want to say "Congrats" to Blake(#12) and Brandon(#46), whose team is now in the State playoffs and beat the ONLY team that has beat them. If all goes according to plan they will be playing at the Georgia Dome in a few weeks! Go BEARS!!

MY (megan) FIRST POST!
My name is Megan. I LOVE TO DRAW!! It is just something I enjoy doing. About a year ago my friend, Haley came over and we decided to watch a movie. She wanted to watch Mulan 2, so we watched it.During the movie I thought of how fun it would be to draw the characters so a couple of days later I watched it again with Chandler.When I got to a person I wanted to draw I paused the T.V. and drew them, which took me about 10 min. each (Chandler was getting pretty mad cause he wanted to watch the movie). So I found them the other day and took pictures of them all and wanted my mom to put them on the blog but she did not have anytime so she said I could do it myself and I immediately ran to the computer and made this post. ENJOY MY DRAWINGS!!!!!
This is Mulans Dad!!
This Is the little girl from the beginning,Sharon!!

Maui..and my brother's tasty hissing cockroach.
We are off to Maui in a few weeks. I am excited but it seems like it has totally just snuck up on me. I have to psyche myself up for trips for some reason. I hate the packing and preparing but I love it when I am there. I am ECSTATIC about my parents joining us this time. We always go to Oahu first and spend a few days and it will be so much fun for us to have them get to see all there is to see on both islands. The last time Kenny and I went to Hawaii we said that was it for us...the trip back is pretty harsh but it's been two years so we are ready and I know it will be worth it! We stay at the Grand Wailea and it is stunning. Here is a few picks from the resort....

Okay, so my younger brother Jody is quite the daredevil and had an amazingly disgusting experience at Six Flags in his hometown in California. Luckily, Kelly my sister-in-law, caught it in video and blogged about it here. Truly grosses me out but if I'd been there I would have been egging him on! Not that he needs it. No autographs please.
