A snowy Halloween!

Interesting Halloween night. We had snow and winds to deal with but all went well. Girls got lots of compliments on their costumes. Had a good, cold candy getting time!




Steele Halloween Parade

Today Izzy had her last Halloween Parade at school. She went as a vending machine. Abby insisted on being R2D2, which she has been now all 4 years in school.  I have to admit, it is fun to see kids reactions when they see him sitting in the hallway. We have certainly gotten our use out of him! It is scary only Abby will be doing this next year!

Abby's U9 fall season finale

Well, the girls did not get a win in their first fall session of soccer, but their improvement was significant.  Today they had at least 7-8 good shots on goal that just missed. They are playing better together, and doing so much better. Abby has been incredible, getting more aggressive and turning into a good little soccer player!  Can't wait for the spring.

A wet finale for the U15 boys

Alex finished up his fall soccer season in a rainstorm.  They fell to Okemos 0-2 but still finished their season at 5-3, so not too shabby.  He played well, but they just couldn't get it through the defense today. Now comes the long wait until spring soccer starts!

Abby's last home game in 2019



Abby's team keeps improving and getting closer to a win, but they lost 0-3 today to Holt. They are getting opportunities, they just need to finish!  But it was a good game, and they are playing better each time out.

Mason U15 boys go to 5-2 with a win over Haslett

Alex's Mason soccer team guaranteed a winning record today with a win over Haslett 2-0!  They played their final home game for 2019 and defended their turf. Proud of how the boys are doing, they are playing well and have a tough final game against 1st place Okemos next week.

A cold game in Owosso!


Abby is getting more and more aggressive(in a good way) and trying to be more involved. It has been fun watching her get better and better. She played forward today and had several good passes and played extremely well!




Curwood Castle

Before Abby's game today in Owosso we visited Curwood Castle. Very cool, he built this almost as his man cave to write his books in the early 1900's.  It was sort of his 'writing office'!  We could only stay a few minutes, but it was fun to walk through it!

Olivia goes to Homecoming

Olivia went to her first Homecoming dance tonight. She went with her friend, Alyssa. It was 46 degrees out, so in a car with no heat you need blankets!




Still undefeated!

Olivia is up to 12-0 in her bowling league!

U9 Bulldogs put up a fight

Abby played hard and the girls looked a little better, but still couldn't get past Laingsburg. They are showing some times where they look like a team, they are just playing against teams that have a little more experience than them. Overall a good outing.

Tough loss to Owosso for Mason U15

The boys seemed off tonight against Owosso. Not passing well, just not themselves. They played pretty good to a 2-2 score with about 15 minutes left and then gave up two quick goals. Alex played hard, but just couldn't get it going tonight.




Olivia alone at the top!!

Olivia is having a great start to her bowling league!  She is in first place, the only one left with a no-loss record!  Her average is up to 135!  She is doing so well, it is so fun watching her.
