Crazy...

Just letting everyone know I will be having some crazy facebook status updates...

You see my husband got me a fitbit. At first I was kind of upset with him... but now I love it. Seriously LOVE it. It keeps track of how many steps I take in a day, how far I walk/ran, even my sleep. I know, right!! My sleep! I put it in this little thingy, I attach to my dominate wrist, I set it to sleep mode, and it lets me know how many times I am disturbed at night. It also tells me how long it takes me to fall asleep and gives me a sleep efficiency percent.

So now on to why my status' will be crazy. Well the first number I post will be the amount of steps, the second the distance. Sometimes there will be a third and/or fourth number... those will be the amount of time and/or the speed.

My husband now realizes how many more steps I have to take to walk the same distance as him. Generally I take one and half to 2 for every one of his. So my numbers are always better than his!! ha!

Once in a while there might even be a 5th number. The number of leaves generated! You'll just have to visit FitBit and find out what all that entails!

Getting ready to head 'down home' for the Thanksgiving holiday. Austin and Mason have already left which leaves me to pack my stuff and the dogs. I'm just so glad I don't have to listen the kids' songs cd for the entire trip!! So very very happy!!

I have to stop in Boone and get gas and then again in Council Bluffs to drop off a cd of senior photos. So I'd better get my butt in gear...

I've been working all day. All day... I'm more than ready for bed but I have to finish this session and a newborn one before I can go to bed. I have to get them done and delivered before I leave tomorrow... Gonna be a long night...

So I didn't make it all month but that is okay...

Friday was Fremont-Mills state championship football game. We kicked butt!! The final score... 81 to 0... 81 to ZERO!! How crazy! The game was awesome!

Mason was picked up from preschool by my friend Jess so he was pretty excited to be able to play with her son Vince. Vince then came home with us and stayed the night. They had so much fun playing outside and running around that they both crashed on the couch before 8:30! I call that success!

Saturday morning Jess and her husband dropped off their daughter Ellie on the way to Des Moines to go see Wicked. We, being me, my husband, and the kiddos, all had a great day. There were no real tears and thankfully they didn't eat me out of house and home.

Sunday was my BIRTHDAY! Yay I'm now... um... 31... I guess I'm okay with it. I mean really what would happen if I wasn't? NOTHING! Life goes on so I've decided to just accept that I'm 31. I'm not saying I'll be okay with 32 next year but for right now 31 is okay...

And now some championship football game photos. Better photos than the score updates on my facebook page...

My day started with the sunrise... I know hard to believe...

Walking to the middle for the coin toss that they no longer even do on the field. So basically they just shake hands and make a show of it...

A touch down run attempt... I don't really remember... by number 32...

Number 7's interception touchdown!

All the seniors!! Such a great group of guys. It really has been fun watching these boys play this year.

My niece, Morgan, and her friend. They wanted me to take their photo so I took it and then it dawned on me that the photo I had just taken could have been taken anywhere... There were no distinguishing attributes about it that you could look at it and say 'oh that was taken at the dome...'. So I had them turn around so we could get some of the field behind them. I think it made for a much better photo!

I took this of the law enforcement officer because he was texting... and noticed the coaches when I got home. I do wonder what the guy was texting...

The final score!



Ended my day with the sunset...

I'm really wishing I could get over this stupid little cough... I just can't seem to shake it.

Now that Mason has been bathed and is in bed I think it is past time for me to haul my butt up to bed too. I have a log day of procrastination ahead of me tomorrow... I have a couple of sessions that I've edited my favorites from and am just working on the 'momma favs' right now... The cds have to be in the mail by Friday at 4 so I've got time. At least all day tomorrow because Friday I will be in Cedar Falls at the UNI-Dome!! Getting excited! Seriously!!

It's Their Title to Lose...

I love the unity of this team! I sure can't imagine the football players holding hands when I was high school... willingly because they know it makes them stronger. More of a team than individual players...

I love this set of pics. All were shot in quick succession. While there has been a lot of talk of N.M. (I don't need people to google and find this little place) he isn't the whole team. It is rather impressive to watch him bulldoze his way to the inzone but to watch #7 fly through the air is fun too. He isn't very tall and he is tenacious. Almost like a little ankle biter dog that looks all sweet and innocent and then goes for the face when you lean down to pet it... Tenacious! The quarterback, #4, is fun also. He just doesn't get frazzled easily. Probably a good thing in a QB.

If I remember right this might have been the first touchdown run for the {K}nights... It looks like they are getting ready to start a line dance...

I didn't take this last photo because I had a good view of her but because I figured with all the other cameras floating around no one else would. While our football team plays like a team the town as a whole is still a little cliquey. This wonderful young lady might not have the 'right' last name but her mother sure thinks she is special and I knew her mother wasn't there to see her play at the dome. While I have taken better personal photos this month, this one is my favorite so far this month. It's a little early in the month to name my fav professional photo...

Ha! What a day! I got nothing done... Absolutely nothing... I take that back I did get one load of laundry done... but that is it.

I'm hoping tomorrow is better. You know the tomorrow that starts in about 45 minutes. Yep that one!
