our favorite childrens

 Oh I just had to share this funny post!  This was one of the boyz favorite nursery rhymes.  "Little Bunny PHOO-PHOO"

Merry Christmas!

Our Tresure Island Adventure

We have had a pretty busy day and with the weather warming back up into the mid 70s we plan on just soaking in the sun and looking for more shells.  The dolphins are so close but very tricky to catch on camera!  And yes that is the boys all up 1200 feet above the gulf parasailing.

Sunset on Saturday night

On the Mat!

Well  once again the Elliott's are busy with a sport.  The boys are getting plenty of time wrestling.  It is so different wrestling for a school who is used to wrestling the best in the state.  Boys have all wrestled state ranked teams/individuals.  But to be the best you need to wrestle the best.  After Thursday nights meet we drove to the airport and boarded a plane for Clearwater Beach/Treasure Island Florida.  Tabor is home on break and it was a perfect time for a little R&R.

Here is our new wrestling team!  We are off to a great start with two big dual wins and this past Saturday we won our first tourney.  Tanner will be at 145 this season with Dalton being 152.  Big home dual on Tuesday night vs Norwood.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

On pace to break all school career passing records. 

In round one of playoffs Dalton set a school record and tied a state single game record with 8 TD passes. His 471 yards in the same game was a school record and also top 10 all time in state history for a single game. Dalton is very composed for a sophomore and had one of the best single offensive seasons in school history. He has two more seasons to lead the Raider offense to more prolific moments.

Well it wasn't in the cards tonight to come out on top but really I was the big winner of the night.  I watched my three boyz come together and show admiration and love for each other.  Couldn't be prouder how they responded and how important it was to have Tabor join them on the sidelines.   On the down side Tanner will be on crutches for a couple of weeks and Dalton has been battling the flu for the past two days.  But from looking ahead we are three weeks away from wrestling practice, trip to K-STATE, Turkey Day, maybe pheasant hunting, deer hunting and a family trip to a very warm beach!  Thank you to all who supported us during football.  On to the next chapter!

We are ready to take the field!

A good football coach needs a patient wife, a loyal dog and a great quarterback – but not necessarily in that order.

 Common Boyz you can do this!
