Hoop, Shoot, and Holler contest

Kiersten participated in a free throw contest at her school a few months back, and ended up being the overall female winner for the 5th and 6th graders. She then went on to compete with other 5th and 6th grade girls from other schools in our district. Kiersten shot free throws at the KSU woman's BB game last week, and became a finalist. She will now move on with 3 other girls and shoot free throws again at the KSU men's BB game on NYE. Congrats to my amazing little ball handler and great job Kiersten representing your school. We are so proud of you!

Eye Doctor visit

Kaden's kindergarten class needed an optometrist to come and talk with the students for an educational unit they are doing. I knew just who to call...my good friend, Christie Heptig. She not only came to speak with only 5 hours notice, but came completely set up with a cool 3-D eyeball and worksheets for the kids. Thanks Christie, everyone appreciated your willingness and "awesomeness"! I owe you one!

Happy 9th Birthday to my sweet Karli!

Holiday Home tour in Kansas City

My Mom and I took last Sunday afternoon to tour some beautiful homes in Lees Summit, MO. I was able to get some grerat decorating ideas, and am ready to start bringing Christmas to my house. ENJOY!

Gorgeous Fall walk

The girls and I took a Fall walk the other afternoon...destination Baskins Robbins. We are so fortunate to have some great trails near our house, and the trails just happen to lead to our favorite ice cream shop :) Yummy!!

KSU-OU Homecomig game

Friends from KC came up for the game this past weekend. Although we did not keep our undefeated status, we had a great time tailgating and hanging out at the stadium!

Homecoming "Trick or Treat"

Each year our community and KSU does a homecoming parade and a business "trick or treat". Kade had fun gathering candy and heckling the sorority girls!

My Halloween SPIN class

LOVE LOVE LOVE these ladies in my Friday morning SPIN class. We rode to all Halloween songs and did a trivia contest this week. I am completely out of my element in my husband's 70's costume-and definitely do not think polyester is my fabric of choice. But, we all had a few laughs and a lot of fun! Thanks ladies for all your hard efforts put forth in class.

BODYPUMP 79 Launch at Max Fitness

We showcased our new Les Mills tracks at the gym last night and had so much fun. Not only did we have a hard core workout with sweet new music, but we were able to incorporate some Halloween FUN as well.

Red HOTS Volleyball

Kiersten's Volley Team did great this year, with only 2 losses. Thanks to Ned Ritherson, who led these girls and taught them some great fundamentals.

Karli's 1st Horse Show

Karli participated in her 1st horse show at the Topeka Expocenter this past Saturday. WOW what a neat experience. We are completle "newbies" at this equine stuff. Karli has been riding for about 7 months now, and her trainer thought she would be ready for an 18 inch jumping class. She did awesome. She had to learn 3 courses upon arrival and participated in 3 jumping events. Great job Kar Kar!!
