CHS Class of 98 Reunion

A couple of weekends ago, Jason and I went to Corinth for my first high school reunion! We had a blast! Friday night we had a band at The Waldron. Saturday afternoon we traveled to Circle Y for a picnic lunch and enjoyed seeing a lot of my classmates' children. That night we had a dinner at Pizza Grocery downtown. We all enjoyed reading our Senior newspapers, watching our Follies tape, and a slideshow of photos of us from first grade on. We even had a little surprise entertainment- La Toya London, a former finalist on American Idol and member of The Color Purple touring company, was there with Prince Damons, who graduated with us. Prince is in California now working as a singer/songwriter/producer. La Toya is so sweet, and sang "All By Myself" for us. She got a kick out of watching Prince sing the final song for our Follies! We had wonderful weekend, and it was great seeing everyone again!

Tigers' Last Win!

On Halloween night, the Saltillo Tigers pulled out an impressive victory over Center Hill. The game was the last one of the season, as well as Senior Night, so it was very special. As you can see from the photos, Jason worked very hard with his defensive linemen, who stepped up and did a great job! We're looking forward to a great season next fall!

Cutest Bumblebee on the Block!

Lauren was a super cute bumblebee for Halloween! Here she is at our Fall Festival at church, having a great time.

Pumpkin Carving Party

Last Saturday we had our annual Pumpkin Carving party. We had a lot of fun, and as you can see from some of the pumpkins, everyone did a great job carving theirs!

The Pumpkin Patch

I apologize for not posting in a while-we have been so busy this month!

A few weekends ago, the entire Russell family went to the Pumpkin Patch at Blue Mountain, which I get to go back to with my class this Tuesday. We celebrated Big Daddy and Will's birthdays, both this month. We had a wonderful picnic lunch and enjoyed the wagon ride to the petting zoo and pumpkin patch, where we each picked a pumpkin. The kids had a blast; it was such a fun afternoon!



Jason's team also celebrated a wonderful victory last Friday night against Mooreville! 30-7 was the final score-unfortunately, I forgot my camera! I did snap a few photos on my cell phone, and the boys and coaches were ecstatic. We hope we'll have repeat this upcoming Friday night, which is Senior Night when the Tigers will play against Center Hill. Go Tigers!!!
