Lack of Pictures

 This past weekend we went to friends to shoot skeet and the kids shot bows too.
ZB practicing up...really wanting to get that deer!

It was sunny and almost HOT on Saturday.




My newly tiled shower in the boys' bathroom.  I'm so happy how it looks so far.
Especially since my tile came off the clearance rack at Lowe's!
Happy Day!  I just finished painting the ceiling tonite.  Need to get the walls primed and painted.
They will get the new sink installed tomorrow and tile the backsplash.  

This morning...ZB left for National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, IN.  He was pretty excited.  
He just texted me...they are in Illinois tonite.  Stopped at the St. Louis arch and toured then ate supper.  Doing some neat things along the way.  So happy for him.  But missing my boy already!

It was 90 degrees here today.  A little hot for Oct 23rd.  Guess it's going to be 40 by Friday.
Won't that be a change!?!
Not many pics...just a lot of babble.  
Later Gators!

This and That


 A few weeks ago, we got to spend a beautiful Sunday afternoon with my family.  It was full of laughter, football, good food, pictures, sunshine and thankfulness.  My little nephew is getting so big...but still likes sitting on Papa's lap.





 CB playing catch...it was funny, they had hundreds of acres of open space to play catch and they chose the backyard in amongst the trees.  Not really sure why?!

 Mom and Dad have been cleaning out the old garage.  I forgot about this little chair. 
I {love} it and it's coming home with me next trip!

 Then we have had Homecoming.  I remember Homecoming when I was in school and how exciting it was and how much fun I had.  We had a parade and CB's Football team walked thru.  Notice how he migrated to the middle to avoid my camera. 

 Go Vikings!  Our town is a supportive community.  These flags are hanging downtown and look pretty cool as you drive thru.

 ZB went to the Homecoming dance this year...with a date.  Momma Bear had to come to grips with reality that my boy is growing up.  Didn't say I liked it though. {smile}

 I want to mention, it was COLD this day.  Damp and windy too.  Those girls were a bit chilly in their cute dresses for pictures!  We went to our local park to take pics.  On a side note, ZB is anxiously awaiting the "big one" to appear so he can shoot his bow and get his first deer.  I want him to get one so bad...he's worked so hard on his deer stands!

Oh yea...we are in construction again.  The main bathroom is getting its remodel.  We have been a 1 shower family since June.  It's do-able but we are ready to have 2 showers again! 
I.am.so.tired.of.living.in.a.mess.
I can't even explain how SICK of it I really am.
But I'm trying to be thankful.
I despise sheetrock mud.
The End.

CB making a great catch for a 2 point conversion at his football game last Thursday.  He had 6 tackles too and stripped the ball on a tackle.  He had a great game and has LOVED his first year of football!
 
CB on the right...going in for a great tackle!
Lined up for kick off...he has played offense, defense and special teams. He has worked hard and started on all 3!  So proud of him.
