Sorry about not posting for about 2.5 weeks. I haven't been feeling like being on the computer much lately. I just check my emails and weather and that is pretty much it. So, any of you faithful followers, sorry about the no posts.
Jordan is about done with his football season and he has improved every week. This last week he had four tackles and did a great job of making the other team run sideline to sideline on all the plays that went his way when he was playing defense. He did his job well on the offensive side of the ball too. Now once football is over we get to start thinking winter swim team in Fort Dodge and basketball. One busy kid.
Zach is almost done with football as well. He gets to play at the halftime of the home varsity game on the 10th and then his season is over. But he also gets to look forward to winter swim team and basketball. He is really excited about winter swim. He has been all for it since the beginning when we started talking about it. It is always great to see your kids have such a passion for a sport or anything they enjoy in life.
Riley is great and loving four year old preschool. She got to go to a cheer camp last weekend and she loved it. She remembered most of the moves and everything. She is also in Just for Kix dancing. She does that on Monday nights and is doing really good. Her teacher said she has a great memory and can come in and start where they left off the week before. Boy am I loving all this girly stuff with her. :)
Gavin is still my active little boy who sure seems to love life a lot. Whatever he is doing he is loving it and making the most out of it. He has become my house bug killer. Whenever he sees any kind of bug, he goes right for the shoes and brings one back to smash it, and then he is so proud of himself. He is still having monthly AEA visits and those are going great. I'm sure that as soon as he reaches three years old we will be told that he is doing great and that his speech is all caught up to his age.
Curt is doing his football thing right now. The RCL football team is 4-1 right now with a game this weekend at Kingsley-Pierson. Then the following week we play Southern Cal and we both have a chance to be 5-1 going into that game. SC is extremely tough this year tough and he knows we have to be on our A game to get a chance to beat them. Curt's shining moment was when RCL was ranked #9 in class A. But then we got beat by Newell-Fonda, the #4 ranked team. Injuries killed us for that game. The defense is ligit and doing great, Curt is the defensive coordinator and so I had to brag a little about that.
As for me, I just doing my thing. I watch Noah, Jeff and Missy's kid, when I am needed and I'm sure that will be a lot in the coming month or so with harvest. We just love having him here and the little two take quite a liking to him. I am also doing the coaching thing with the 3rd - 6th graders for volleyball. That will go on for a couple more weeks. I am also playing volleyball on Sunday nights in Lytton. It started out just women last year, but has grown into a coed pick up league. It is a lot of fun though and it is a great way to get to know people. Now if I could just get Curt talked into going over with me. :)
BTW, the pictures I posted are from our recent visit to Adventureland courtesy of Pella Windows. I will post more pictures of the weekend soon.
How did it happen that I ended up with a daughter that loves stuff like this. Maybe I was like this too as a kid, but I just decided to block all of that out because my fear of them today. I just get the heebie jeebies when I see one jump in front of me. We have had so many of them around here this fall and I am ready for the cold weather to shoo them away. But who can be grossed out at the smile on Riley's face while she is holding the frog. I guess as long as I don't touch it, I sure can capture the moment on camera.
