Pulling Corn Stalks

Every summer for the last many years the family helps pull Grandpa's corn stalks. This year we left a couple rows to shade the tomatoes. It does not look like a lot of work but it is a good workout for the entire family.

What happens when the trailer breaks

An hour from the house.... Luckily a Wal-Mart was near because my trailer spare was the wrong kind.

Watercraft would not start so we got to ride bikes on water :-)

Why hockey coaches should wear face shields

Last night during my peewee practice I was being a big tough defender during warm-ups.  The player did a backhand scoop of the puck and BAM.  Soon after, I noticed a big pool of blood in my hand and on the ice and the end result is 5 stitches and some pretty good bruising.  Needless to say, I will be buying a shield before my next practice.

Day after pictures for your enjoyment...

Ryan's Toilet Paper Holder

Today we went Xmas idea shopping to fill out our Xmas lists as a family and Ryan cracked a funny one.

He got real excited and said, "Hey mommy look at this great toilet paper holder."

Fall musical highlights...

This week the kids school hosted the Fall musical.  Ryan and Krystal got speaking parts and they both had other parts as well.  This was the first time that Krystal was a narrator at her school and she did a fantastic job. On top of that she had a dancing part and truly enjoyed that part as well.  Oh, and a big shout out to mommy for getting these great shots!

Oh, Ryan was a speaker and a member of the choir and did a great job as well :-)
