Singleton Slednecks: What's New?

Well, it's been awhile since we last updated and trust me, we've been busy! School started for all the kids, including Lexi. I got her signed up with the developmental preschool on Mondays and Wednesdays. She loves it! Everyday she wakes up, "Can I go to school today, Mom?" and when I tell her it's not her day, she's very cranky the rest of the morning. Luckily, we have a great babysitter that always seems to cheer her up! Mitch also finished up his season of football. Since he is now a sixth grader, they had their own sixth grade team and he got to play most of the game. His position was quarterback and defensive line. He did excellent! Did we mention Allen was the coach?! Yes. Allen. Eric Olsen also helped him. It was quite the experience for them. Halloween came and went with Lexi as Snow White (but she said she wasn't the REAL Snow White because her hair wasn't black...) and Mitch went as a girl? We didn't know what he was. We just threw on a blonde wig, gave him a purse, and painted a mustache on him. You can figure it out. Sorry we didn't get any pictures. For the first time, Mitch decided he wanted to wrestle. We were a little nervous at first because he had never done it before and we didn't know how he would like it. Turned out, he loved it! He only won a couple times, but we figured it was good since it was his first time! Alyssa likes to think she had the influence on him because she does wrestling stats. She's way excited for high school wrestling to start soon so she can go hang out with all those sweaty wrestling guys... ;) Another grand moment in Singleton history, Lexi turned 4!!! She's growing up waay too fast. Some of the things she says makes us wonder how old she really is. Maybe 16?! Lexi was spoiled this year. Mom took her and her cousin, Kaden along with Grandma Williams and Grandma Singleton to Lexi's favorite resteraunt, McDonalds'. Then she came home and had cake and ice cream with the family. All she could ask for was more presents! :) The day before Lexi's birthday, Coda got hit by a car and died and Mom also ran over one of our cats that morning. We were all in an emotional state that night. We had pulled into the driveway and Coda always got excited and ran around, but this time a car was behind us and hit him as he ran out into the road. It's taking some time getting used to him not always being there to greet us, but don't worry. We'll have another dog pretty soon. Not too long ago, Alyssa got her... LICENSE! She is now a legal driver on the roads of America. Mom was so excited because now she doesn't have to drive her everywhere. The initiative behind it, her grades. They slip, the license is gone. We're hoping that will help her want to keep them up. ;) Well, we can't wait for Thanksgiving and Christmas! We love this time of year! The snow and all. We've only had 2 (TWO!) snowfalls this fall. We barely have any snow! ;) But, we can keep praying for more. Happy Holidays till then! :D
