More time on the Mat

This week we hosted a tri and the boyz did well on the wrestling mat! Trying to save on Tanner's knee until sections he will be taking some time off from competition. Best decision made but Tanner does NOT agree. Oh well.........Dalton still healthy and on a tear! 21-4 for the season and took home the championship medal this past Saturday in St. Croix. This is the last week of the quarter so the boyz are loaded with homework and studies for finals. 1/21 and 1/28 we host a 6 team tourney in Nicollet that will keep us pretty busy. Papa Cargil sent Tabor on a trip to Lake City to do some CAD work for the mill there. He really enjoys the hands on drafting and its fun to see your children so passionate about something.

ON a Roll

Okay the Raiders have had some great luck! We have won 8 straight duals in a row. Tanner has won 7 straight and Dalton has won 13 matches in a row. This week we wrestling Thursday night @ 5 when Medford and Norwood Young America come to Nicollet. Tabor is back in college and the weather couldn't be better! Just keep praying everyone stays healthy and mother nature keeps my grass brown a little longer. Really Jan 9th today and it was 54*........maybe we do live in "God's Country"

stick a fork in it! The desktop pc is done.

I know..........it has been a long time. Well after 7 yrs our desktop computer has died and that is the one I use to blog! OH well one of my techie kids can shop for a new one. Cuz we all know

As always the boyz are keeping us pretty busy. Football ended and we are still healing our wounds but have moved on to wrestling big time! Tanner has taken some time to heal the bone bruise and rip in mcl and is just getting into it again. Tanner recently won the Excel award at school for grades and community involvement. Dalton is leading the team in pins and wins with a 9-4 record. Next week Dalton will lead his knowledge bowl team in the regional meet in Mankato. Tabor has been home on break and working at the mill 24/7 until the 8Th of January. And has a full load of 19 credits for next semester and great news he has made the deans list. Everyone is doing very well and looking forward to 2012. Darin and I have starting making our own wine with another couple. Basically a reason to get together every 4 to 6 weeks and play this great game loaded questions. Darin is pretty sure he is responsible to the super nice weather! We bought a new lawn tractor with a snow blower attachment for up by the house and 2 newer than 1980's snowmoblies.........thus......no snow! Well I think is was all the brand new windows we put in the south side of our home. What every the reason we are so thankful. Best wishes to you and your family for a healthy 2012!

My latest T-shirt Design & The Team

3rd year in a ROW!

Well it's time to go to STATE again this year! The Raiders travel to Marshall MN @ South West State to take on Edgerton who is rated #1. Game time is 5pm on Friday the 11Th. Keep us safe and let us play one more game in the DOME!

Happy Birthday Dalton!

Wow it is hard to believe our baby is 15 today! Where did the time go? Tonight while Darin was out scouting the team that we play Saturday night, Dalton picked 5Guys to eat at then we rented Captain America. And naturally his favorite kind of birthday cake......DQ Ice Cream Cake. Besides being busy with football Dalton's knowledge bowl team took home first place last week. Knowledge bowl is a sparty pants team of kids who excel at academics. Dalton's big gift was a stereo and a trip to Complete Nutrition his favorite store next to Scheels. And yes Dalton is going to be the tallest in our family and he still doesn't like the site of peanut butter anything. Happy Birthday Dalton!

Long Time!

I know.....its been a long time between posts! I thought when one child moved out of the house you would have more time. BOY were we wrong! Okay quick review........Tabor has been out of FB for 3 weeks due to a wonderful enlarged spline and MONO. But back at to as of today! And good news the Warriors have made the playoffs so he is excited to be back at practice full time. Tanner & Dalton have had a whale of a time finishing the regular season @ 7-1 and we will have home seed for all of the playoffs. First game is the 29Th @ 7pm. When we are not on the road or at a game we have been getting ready for winter. Plus we have a couple of remodel projects going on at our home. Busy Busy.....only a month away from Turkey Day.
