Thanksgiving

This is the time of year when everyone states what they are thankful for. With all the terrible nasties that have went on this year in our lives, I am grateful to be where we are right now. Cole's doing well in school, Kyle made it through football with flying colors and is looking forward to college applications, Clay is doing well in school with very few bumps in our road. Bills cancer scare turned out to be just that. I have a few jobs that will help us get through Bills bump in the employment world.  So this year I am not only thankful for the life I have but also for the wonderful family and friends that help support us during the tough and good times.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving day and hopefully you all have things to be thankful for also.

All Good things come to an end

Kyle had his last High School Football on Friday night. It was so much fun to watch him play over the past 4 years. It's been fun watching him grow  into the young man he is. He lost the final game against Rosholt. It was a tough game and even harder because he had friends on the other side of the line. Kyle received first team punter and second team kicker for conference. Now it's on to college visits and big decisions.  Congratulations Kyle on a wonderful year!

This Crazy thing we call life

Our life has been sooo busy lately and we've had some highs and lows lately. Kyle's football team is 3-1 right now. He's playing so well it's hard to see them loose. This next weekend is homecoming and he's going with a friend. Should be really fun. He would like to wear gold lame hammer pants but settled on a gold lame vest, that's if his mother gets it done. He's been staying at a friends house this week. Isaac's parents are in California and they just got a new puppy. Kyle's there taking care of the puppy.
Cole's busy at school and seems to enjoy it. We really don't see much of him. He's in Eau Claire celebrating a couple of birthdays with friends. I do like having him home.
Clay has had his ups and downs with football. Coaches are being really good with him and encouraging him to continue. We've never let kids quit once they start but sometimes we need to take a step back and let them make the decision. He's working really hard in school and has made us a bet for a netbook for straight A's the first quarter. Fortunately for him he's keeping on that pace.
Bill lost his job last Friday so he's been busy looking. He's still doing the warranty and freight inspections and has increased the territory he will do them in. He interviewed for the high school maintenance position but has not heard anything yet. Hopefully this will be a short term thing. Friends have been fantastic in giving him leads. He also is having an upper and lower GI study done this week. Hopefully we find out it was just stress.
I get to move closer to home for my job. Kids are excited. I have heard anything from Oct 8th to the 24th. It will be nice to be back to the area.
Homecoming is this week so we have lots of fun things to do. The mom's routine is coming along nicely and it's a great group of moms to be with. If I'm brave I'll post the video. Kyle is not on court and he's thrilled about that.

Quick Catch up

Cole is all signed up for school and starting on Monday. He's dying to leave home. I am glad he's back. I hope he enjoys this year. He just has his majors classes left. Don't see much of him. He's such a social butterfly.

Kyle had a scrimmage for football today and tweeked his knee at the end of the 1st of 3 sets of scrimmages. Not very happy and very scared that this is something major. I don't think it is and trainer didn't seem very concerned. We are off into the senior year.

Clay started football. Seems to like it so far. It's fun to see him play with his friends. He's are also getting ready for school. He's about the happiest of the three to think about school.

Bill has been having fun with car shows and taking life a little slower.

I'm just crazy busy with work and the kids. I know it will all end to soon so I'm enjoying it while I can.

Senior Pictures

 Both people are Kyle. He LOVES this picture even though you can't see his face.

 Tough guy

Let me know what you all think! These are just some of them.

Happy Birhday

Happy Birthday Beth! Have an awsome day!!!!

What a season #15!

What a season we had! Baseball just about every night! I was a season of ups and downs. We didn't start out real well then we ended up1 game away from state. We beat a team that has beat us 5 times before. During this season Kyle hit a grand slam. When we asked him if he ever thought he would achieve that dream? his response was its something no one ever thinks they will get the chance to do. He got to do a lot of hitting and catching. It was fun getting to know the parents of the players. This was a new team because Kyle was no longer on the jr team. The team was great and have a ton of talent. Good luck to those graduating an moving on! Congratulations Stevens Point 6ers on you 20-8 season!
