Mountaineer Football Season is HERE!
It's that time of year again......Mountaineer Football time! It started out as a pretty day to attend the first football game of the year vs. our in-state rival, Marshall University. Morgan proudly donned her new cheerleading outfit and drug out her pom poms for the game.
We were happy to have Aunt Lola stop by the house for the weekend before the game. Morgan had a fun time playing with Lola.
She's got all the cheerleading poses down pat! 
Morgan and her cousin, Shannon 
The first tailgate of the year was great! Above are the younger tailgaters, who had been going strong since 8 AM!
At the game, Morgan and I both had our first Zul (frozen lemonade) of the year. It was HOT, HOT, HOT outside! Morgan didn't feel like posing for a picture.
Singing the National Anthem
Silly Girl The game was sloppy, and had 2 severe weather delays before being called due to weather. Our 'Eers came out victorious with a 34-13 win to start the season. Morgan and I left before the major weather came through, but Patrick stayed at the stadium through a total of 4 hours of weather delay.
We are excited about the new season with a new coach. And we are looking forward to better weather and another Mountaineer victory next Saturday! Let's GO Mountaineers!!!

Kindergarten, here she comes!
I am a little late on this post, but Morgan started KINDERGARTEN last Thursday, the 18th. Yep folks, I said it. Kindergarten. Big School. For the next 13 years. And she LOVES it.
All the angst I had about her transitioning to the new school was for nothing. She went in like she had been going there for ages, and really enjoys school. She likes to take her backpack to school every day, and eat hot lunch, and carry a lunch box, and the list goes on. She's excited about learning. I just hope this keeps up.
Don't you just love her in that uniform? She looks so grown up! To stay current on the happenings of our little lady, be sure to check out her blog. Lots of pics of the first day of school and a video there too.
Enjoy this video of her walking into the school. You can tell she was really excited to be there!

July Recap
July seemed to come and go so fast I blinked and it was already August. We were a busy bunch this past month, running all over the place, as usual.
We started July in Washington DC with my brother and his wife, my parents (who were in for Morgan's birthday), and my Aunt Pattie and cousin Matthew. July 1st I got to go to The Kennedy Center to see the musical Wicked!. It was an AMAZING show, in an amazing theater. Saturday we spent the entire day in the city, seeing all of the monuments, spending some time in Arlington Cemetary, and walking, walking, walking! I think we walked 20 miles that day is seemed. We ended our evening at the Capitol City Brewery for some good food after a long but very fun day. Sunday some of our family went back into the city to spend some time at the museums. I was too tired and sore from walking the day before, so Mom, Dad, and I went to pick 15 pounds of blueberries at our favorite orchard, and spent the rest of the day lounging around. The 4th of July we drove home and spent the evening in the house. No fireworks for us this year.
The next week Morgan had a play date with my mother's cousin's daughter's son (whew!) and her family in Pittsburgh. Before the play date we took Morgan to get her new school uniforms. Morgan had such a great time being fawned over by all the women who were fitting her and helping us find the proper uniform attire for Kindergarten. Yes, folks, my baby starts school in TWO WEEKS! This Mama is having a very hard time with the fact that she will be starting school.
Mid-July saw Patrick on the road A LOT for work. He spent some time in Baltimore helping some friends pack up their place to move, then back to Baltimore for work. Morgan was busy with swim lessons, which she loved, and I was busy trying to keep track of who needed to be where when. There are some days I don't know how single parents do it!
On July 19th Patrick and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary. Although we actually didn't get to spend it together, it was still a great day. I am so blessed to be married to a wonderful man. Here's looking at 80 more honey!
We celebrated Patrick's Grandpa Ralph's 82nd birthday on July 23rd. What a fun weekend that was with a very special man. It was HOT, but we beat the heat with good company and fun with the kids.
Last weekend we traveled to Charlotte, NC to visit our dear friends the Strains. Their son, Morgan's godbrother, Ethan turned one on the 26th of July and we went down to celebrate with him and his family. It was a wonderful weekend with our dear friends, whom we don't get to see nearly enough of.
As August starts, things are slowing down a little bit for us. However, with the start of school (boo hoo!) and the start of football season just around the corner, we are relishing in the lull. Morgan is spending as much time as possible at her Nannie and Big Pop's before school keeps her in Morgantown, and we are preparing for life to be turned upside down when she starts school on the 18th.
So that's the update from Small Town USA. As you can see by the links throughout this post, I keep Morgan's website much more up to date, so you can always stop there if you haven't heard from us in a while. We're still around, just busy, as always!

500
I was hoping to save my 500th post on this blog for our new house, but since it has been nearly 2 months since I last blogged AND there aren't any prospects for a new house on the horizon, I thought I'd better let you all know that the Tenneys are alive and well.
It's been a very hectic last two months. Nothing much major going on, just the craziness of work for both me and Patrick. It seems that we have been going in two different directions, Mach 10 with our hair on fire. And June will be no different. However, Patrick's busy season will be coming to a close in the next few weeks, and my July calendar is freeing up a bit, so I am greatly looking forward to some down time with the family.
Morgan is doing really well. I update her website far more often than I update here, because her life is frankly much more interesting than ours :) She has officially graduated from preschool and is excited about going to a new school in the fall. We are hoping to have her spend lots of time with her grandparents before "real" school starts and we actually have to be in town every week for her to go to school.
House hunting continues. We actually attempted to purchase a house, but that fell through as the seller wouldn't budge on his price. It's been a long road and I am super exhausted. Every house seems to run together! But we are still looking and praying that our house will come along soon.
Not much else is going on in Small Town USA. I hope to update the blog more regularly, but our life has been pretty boring....go to work, go home, clean, repeat. I hope you all are enjoying your summer so far. Stay tuned for more adventures of the Tenney Family!
