Memorial Day

Well after a busy weekend of graduation festivities we are looking forward to a quiet day on the lake. Graduation party was a big hit and with all of the extra kids around here the leftovers are almost gone.

With all the hoopla of getting a day off from work we would like everyone to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day. All Americans need to say "Thanks" for all those who have fought for this country and for those who are still fighting to keep us safe.

A Big Thank YOU to all those who serve this Country!

Congradulations Tabor!

Wow can you believe it? Yahoo off to a new chapter in his life! Congrats Tabor!

Bubba's Last Day of School!

Tabor was is no mood for a picture on his last day of school. He is not so bothered by the last day of high school but more so it might be his last day playing high school sports. Baseball has a big game tonight in Sleepy Eye for the Sub Section Champions @ 5pm. It's been a busy week for Tabor, Monday we had new student orientation at Ridgewater College. Tabor got into all of the classes he wanted to. We got to see his new apartment and it was same place Grandma King lived in when she went to college in Willmar. I guess they changed the name, Grandma said it was called the "PIT" well now it is called Evergreen Estates. So looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday for Tabor's party! From 3 to 6 we are serving up some of Tabor's favorites.

State Track

Wow what a cold and wet day in Stillwater! Sorry no pictures of the monsoon the kids rain in. Naturally we get home this afternoon and its sunny and 75*. The boys did a fabulous job, we were so close a couple of times. 4Th place is still pretty good! Way to go Tanner.

HEADING TO STATE FOR TRACK!

Wow how often does a school get to brag that they went to state three seasons in a row? How often do you hear of someone saying their son went to STATE in two sports in one year?

Well here it is The KNIGHT/RAIDER Boys Team is heading to STATE! Yahoo this Saturday Tanner will be competing in Stillwater for the boys true team state title. Meet starts early at 10am and the bus will pull out at 6:00am. Wish us LUCK!

Heading into the meet the Knight/Raiders are ranked 3rd in state.

Name that TUNE...........

Well Tanner & Dalton finished up the musical year with a great Pops concert! Tanner is in the top row on right side of concert choir wearing blue & white polo. Dalton is on the drums in back of band wearing a black polo. Then can you spot Dalton during the YMCA?

Busy Weekend!

Saturday the JV baseball team took 2ND falling to LCWM. Dalton has found his sweet spot for baseball. Wonderful weather to be at the ball park! Then we hosted the After-Prom game show. We had 50 kids who stayed after the dance and partied with until 4:30a.m.! We did "Plinko" Now & Then. Minute to Win it and my favorite "Let's Make a Deal". Darin did his best Drew Carry impression. Tabor was a big winner and won a $500.00 Browning Shotgun, 10 rounds of sporting clays, $50.00 worth of gift cards . He also came home with t-shirts, photo albums and lot's of other stuff. Now we just need to all get caught up on our rest.

Run Tanner Run

Well we got a beautiful day for a track meet. LCWM/Nic Knight Raiders won hands down. Tanner is still wondering if this whole track thing is for him. He loves to run to condition for wrestling but track seems to run just to run and the jury is still out on that one.

A Break in the Weather!

Okay we are finally back playing ball! This week the only night we won't be at the ball park or track meet is Monday night. So a busy week for the Elliott Boyz! Tabor's varsity team is 2-1 and Dalton's JV team is 1-1. We have so many make up games to get in due to the rain. Tanner's track team keeps taking 2ND place and each time he competes he improves his personal best. Tuesday night all 3 boyz are in Lake Crystal so hopefully we'll have some track snap shots to show off. Today it only got up to the upper 40*'s. Come on where is the warm weather?
