Long winded update - no pictures...

So life kind of got away from me for the last month or so. While I have not posted about the happenings in our house - there has been alot going on. So sit back, relax, take out those reading glasses and enjoy this month long update.

~At the moment our house is living and breathing football. Everywhere you look there is something related to football. Kurt's team won their first game this past Friday. And I have to say, I am so proud of them - not for winning the game but for the sportsmanship that they showed the other team. They could have run away with the score, but chose not to. Even the crowd in the stands was cheering the visiting team on. After losing his first 3 games by alot I am very impressed with the way he coached his boys on Friday. A great lesson learned by all!!

Kurt and his team also started flag football for the elementary kids on Saturdays. They had over 60 kids show up to play!! Nick and Eric are both playing. Nick of course is throwing himself 110% into football. He even created a playbook to use during recess at school when the kids play ball then.

All three boys started school 3 weeks ago. Tyler LOVES school. He is ready and not patiently waiting to go at least an hour before it's time for his day to start. The other two boys had a rough start to the year, but have found their grove and are adjusting to school life again. They both had a hard time adjusting to days without mom (who knew I was so much fun to be around?!?!)

Nick went with Uncle Bobby for the youth waterfowl hunting day and shot his first duck. He actually got three. His first duck was a wood duck and we are having it mounted to commemorate the occasion. Uncle Bobby was picking Nick up at 5:30am for the hunting trip. Nick woke me up at 4:25am asking if it was time to get ready to go!!

Eric had an exciting night at the local ducks unlimited banquet with Papa and Uncle Bobby. He won himself a lifetime hunting and fishing license!! Along with the license he also won a bunch of other stuff too. He is definitely our lucky one (last year he won a gun).

I am on count down to the week that Kurt is leaving for the deer hunting shack. Yes, I know that it is over a month away yet, but I am super excited for the house projects I am doing while he is away. I already have the paint for the boys room. Once he is gone I am going to cut a closet out of the boys room, paint their room in a hockey theme, move our bedroom downstairs and turn our upstairs bedroom into a new toy room for the boys. Shhhh don't tell him!!

Today Fall finally arrived in Ely. Last week the weather was perfect and in the upper 70's. Today it is cold, windy, rainy and only 43degrees. Oh well, I guess it had to happen sooner or later.

Well, that's it for now. I will try to get the pictures of the boys first day of school off of my camera soon to post here.
