Awesome wrestling match!

We had a very enjoyable evening after a hard day of moving and working with tradesmen helping to the final touches on our store. Tonight was a big showdown between Wisconsin Rapids and Wausau West, teams that are ranked # 22 and #23 in the nation. It was as good as was billed. Wrestling in a gym full of fans from all over the state of Wisconsin, the match was decided after two hours, by the final match of the evening. Wisconsin Rapids, with 4 senior wrestlers, won by one match over a team with 12 seniors, eight of whom are rank #1 in the state. The final score was 25-24 and was worth missing some sleep over. For all the details check out the link on my links. Tomorrow is the final moving day and the day that we move all the electronic equipment and set it up at our new store. Yippee! Maybe nest week I can get some sleep. Oh yes, Drew had a wrestling match earlier today and won that handily also.

We just keep moving!

We have been very busy with our day to day activites, the boys wrestling season and moving our Stevens Point store, and with Dane going back to UWSP, we haven't had any extra time to work on the move. Dale and I have worked some long hours going over in the evenings after work to put stuff together. Tomorrow is our last big chance set set up the sales area. The final push on Friday evening is when we move all the computer equipment, and get it up running for Monday. In our free time LOL we have been watching our boys in their wrestling season. They have done well and Drew will probably be up for an award at the banquet in two weeks. I will post a short clip of one of his matches. I will be adding pictures to the slide show as our move progresses so check back often, as it will not be a new post but there will be addional pictures. Please excuse my lackluster posting, but after 10:30 pm there is not much steam left in me. I tried posting the video but it didn't post so will that another time.

Christmas Sing-outs!

This a busy time for us with Christmas shipping, sports and barbershop sing-outs. Monday, Dale and the boys had their first sing-out at the large veterans complex in King. They had four stops and to see the joy on the faces of the men and women that served our country in their youth was so precious. At the first stop there was some side entertainment as a bat was in the building and dive bombing some of the singers as they entertained the residents. (See video) The people at the home insisted that was the first time they ever had a bat there. At the second stop, when the group sang Silent Night there was a lady who just wept. Summer noticed that and guess who got emotional at the next stop, when they sang Silent Night. I looked down and there is Summer just sobbing. She managed to pull herself together enough to enjoy to pizza buffet that came later.

Field trip day today.

Spent the day on a field trip with Beau. Chantel went with me so I pushed the stroller for 4 miles. It was a walking field trip to the library, the junior high, Taco John's and Dairy Queen. Now I am ready to veg. I decided that I am really glad that I never had an interest in being a school teacher. After lunch at Taco John's with 55 elementary school kids, I had a king size headache. I did enjoy getting to know some of Beau's friends while walking though. Unfortunately I forgot my new camera, go figure.

We are looking forward to a quiet weekend. Working around the house, getting ready for Blaise's graduation next weekend. Monday we will got to a pot luck about an hour from here with a bunch of friends. Next week, I laid Dale off, :) so he can help me around the house in preparation for the graduation and our trip to Nebraska the following week. Our kids will miss the last 3 days of school. I will post some fun pics that we were taking to try out the new camera.

We had a great weekend.

Last weekend was great with Autumn and Phil being home. The four younger siblings were in their glory with the big siblings here. Autumn just relaxed,until the girls dragged her out to go shopping. Phil kept the boys entertained with going to the YMCA and Starbucks. I took Sunday off so we took the whole family out to Pizza Hut. Blaise works there which gives us a really nice discount. Drew had another wrestling tournament on Saturday and took champion again. He finished his 7th grade season with a 22-12 record. He worked really hard and with his attitude he will do even better next year. We will have more wrestling on Saturday this week and Sunday we will just relax. Summer is back in school and was to the doctor for her check up. We are pleased that he hearing is good again with the ear tubes. That should help her progress in school. It is tax time again so I am busy finishing up my year end stuff so we can get our taxes done without filing an extension this year. Hopefully two more weeks will do it for me.
