Halloween

This year Brett and Tyler think they are too old to go "trick-or-treating".  Instead they needed costumes because they are going to a friends house to set up a maze and a haunted house.  Tyler is the "devil" and Brett is the "skeleton".




Senior Night (Football)

On Thursday, it was "Senior Night" at the last football game of the season. They annonuced each senior football player and cheerleader and their parents.  As the names were announced, they walk onto the football field. Mike, Fritz (Kristen's dad), and myself were there for Kristen.  Mike and Fritz received a box of candy each and I received a beautiful blue carnation.  It was a tough night realizing that Kristen was done cheering for high school football.  WOW!!!


Learning to Tie a Tie



Brett and Tyle start basketball season next week.  For game days, they are required to "dress up".  Mike and I took them to shopping for basketball shoes and dress clothes.  They decided they wanted "real ties" not clip-ons.  The deal was we would buy them "real ties" if they learn to tie them.  So, last night Mike got out his "how to tie a tie card" and let each of the boys read it and then practice learning how to tie their ties.  They had it mastered after only about 3 tries.  Awesome job boys!!!!  They were so proud.....especially since Mom can't tie a tie without Dad's instruction card.



Coed Softball Tournament

On Saturday, there was a softball tournament held to raise money for "Breast Cancer".  Brett and Tyler were asked to be on a coed team.  Their first game was at 8:00 am and the last game was around 7:00 pm.  Mike came in and also played on the same team as the boys because they were short players.  Everyone had a really good time.

Brett was the catcher.
Good Catch Tyler!!                                                                

Mike hit a triple.  Run Mike!!!

Cattle from Coffeyville

On Friday, Mike, Brett, Tyler, and I went to Coffeyville for cattle. The cattle were ready to load when we got there but they weren't ready to come off the truck when we got them to the farm.
