You Conquered Your Fear

We stayed pretty busy this weekend.  I had good intentions of taking pictures to share, but never got around to it.  Hailey and Joseph stayed with a friend Friday night.  RJ, Hunter and I went to dinner with my cousin and his girlfriend.  Saturday, Joseph and Hunter had a baseball game and Hailey had cheer practice.  Hailey had a friend spend the night Saturday night, while we had my cousin and his girlfriend over to watch the football game.  Since WVU wasn't doing too well, we all played dominos until about 1am.  Sunday, I took the girls to cheer practice and I cleaned out my car and then we went to Hunter's baseball game.

This is where I would have inserted pictures, but I didn't take any. FAIL  I'll get used to this blogging role soon.

The kids brought their midterms home on Friday.  Hunter made straight As on his midterms, Hailey had 3 Ss, 1A and 3Bs.  Joseph had 2As, 3Bs, and 2Cs.  Still a 3.0, but he could do better.  I was proud of him because he wasn't doing too well and brought the two bad grades up to Cs.

I did create a scrap page using Shabby Miss Jenn's Autumn Walk kit.

This is a picture of Hunter jumping off of a waterfall at Summersville Lake.  He is terribly afraid of heights, but desperately wanted to jump off like his older brother.  He made up his mind that he was going to do it, then walked up the cliff with our friend, Mike, and stood at the top and contemplated.  Mike finally talked him into jumping and he got to the edge, looked down and just leaped.  Best time ever! He was so proud of himself for doing something that scared him to death.  I love this kid.  He is always trying new things and breaking the shell.

I combined two pictures to make the long photo.  That is him in the orange shorts at the top of the waterfall, next to Mike.  That is also him in the midst of jumping, getting ready to land in the water.
