How many more days until next year?

Here are our pics from the last KSU game of the season and Prince's last game as head coach. The weather did not stop us from partying it up...we also had a little fun with the eye-black! Renae and I's are a tribute to Coach Prince, "Bold and Daring" and "Scary Smart". These terms were both used to describe him so it was only fitting! Senior Day always means tears every year for someone who cares too much about a football team...but it's a little more than that. It means loading up 10 people and 'everything but the kitchen sink' in an RV and spending 48 hours in a parking lot laughing out loud (with a little bit of yelling at the 4 kids who are such close proximity of each other that the inevitable usually happens) drinking and eating waiting on the other 45,000 people to show up, wondering what the heck took them so long! It was a blast! Only 280 days until next year!!

Change...

There have been some major changes going on this fall! My father sold his manufactured housing dealerships to a big chain called Clayton Homes in August but it didn't become real until last week when the sign went up. After 7 years of daycare, I quit to help my parents out doing accounting work for their 2 manufactured housing dealerships and their 2 salons in Kansas City. I did that for a year before deciding to stay on and work for the new corporation, which is both good and bad. I have a lot less responsibility and a lot less to do, but they let me keep great hours and have wonderful benefits! I work with the same people minus my Dad, which is both good and bad!! He used to give me a lot to do always having nice sized piles on my desk, and the phone rang constantly...but it was kind of nice having him around. It has taken some getting used to.

Griffin and I's TV Debut

I watched the KSU vs Nebraska game replay last night and saw THIS! Yikes! It was me jumping up and down after a touchdown. My mouth open this big the entire time. You could do a dental exam just from this still shot of me, whoa. Thank goodness there was no audio. I love how Griff is totally unaffected by it all...just chillin' with his "chocky milk" not even caring why his mom is screaming and jumping up and down hysterically. I love the look on the Nebraska guy's face, like 'great, there are 45,000 people here and I have to sit next to her.'

Happy 31st Chris!!!

Happy Birthday Chris! You don't look a day older...still showing off your muscles and driving around in your Fort Hays Auto Sales cars! Love ya!

Angelic Moments...

This was one of those brief moments that don't happen very often...no one is hitting, screaming, yelling, etc. It is a miracle. Brotherly love at last.

Tuttle Puddle Fun...

We spent the weekend in Manhattan this weekend going to the football and basketball games. We stayed at Tuttle Creek in the RV and had so much fun. The game on Saturday was freezing...I have no pictures since in my five layers of clothes there was just no room for a camera. We did make signs that, again, did not inspire the team. Renae and I stayed until the end, even singing the alma mater with the team before heading back to the warmth of the RV. We stayed mostly to annoy the Nebraska people next to us so they couldn't enjoy any part of their victory. After freezing all day Saturday...we woke up to a beautiful Sunday morning. They have a great park at the lake and on our way we literally stumbled on a huge waist deep pile of leaves. We couldn't get the kids out of there. We played football until we lost it in the leaves..talk about a needle in the haystack!

Posh has nothin' on me!!

Here is a picture of the famous Beckham family wandering through the San Diego Zoo yesterday with their son Cruz in his Zookeeper outfit.

Here is a picture of Griffin in June of 2006 in his zookeeper outfit! He is totally setting trends. He is much cuter than Cruz Beckham...by far. I can't believe how Griffy has grown. We definitely need to go on another vacation soon. now that he will have memories of the trip.
