Injury Update

I took Dylan to the doctor today and they did x-rays of his thigh and hip. He has a strained muscle where the tendons and muscles connect close to the hip bone. He is doing much better and is even walking without limping tonight.

Tuesday Night

Cass and I made Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread tonight. Dylan was at football practice and Michael was working so we thought we should make something delicious. It was so moist and yummy!

Dylan has a football injury and can not put any weight on his left leg. We have been putting ice on it but the coach thinks he should go to the doctor tomorrow. We will see how the morning goes.

Louisburg Cider Mill and More!!!!

Every year we go to the Louisburg Cider Mill for their Ciderfest. They have little craft booths set up and of course we always get delicious apple cider donuts and apple cider.







Here is a picture of the apples being dropped out of the truck. They are washed and then pressed.

I HAD to buy this pumpkin because I loved the curly stem.

Michael taught Dylan how to make FIRE AND ICE PICKLES. Good job Dylan, they were very good!

Football update: lost 8-28
We are losing by less points each game!!!!

Where did the weekend go??

Dylan had his 2nd football game ever in his life and the poor thing was stressed before we even got there. We made a stop before the game and the car would not start back up. A very nice guy tried to jump the Tahoe but it did not work. Dylan was sitting in the back and said "We are never going to make it to my football game." The very nice guy looked at Dylan and said "You will not miss your game because I know a great taxi service that will get you there on time so you guys better get in so we can go." When he dropped us off at the game, I told him that he just saved a little boy's day. We lost the game 22-0. Oh, well he was excited because he started on offense and had a lot of fun.








This morning Cass and I made Cinnamon Bread. She brought the recipe home from her foods class so I told her we could make it. It was really good and we ate half of it for breakfast.

This afternoon we went to The Renaissance Festival. Michael was even selected to be part of a show.

Dylan eating a turkey leg.

This evening Dylan was still working on his roller coaster and decided he needed smaller pieces of wood and Michael let him use a clamp and a saw for the first time.

Dylan was very proud!!!!

FRIDAY NIGHT FUN

We did not have any plans last night so Dylan decided to make a roller coaster out of wood,nails and a tupperware bowl. He named it "THUNDER". I think he is obsessed with roller coasters and he still says that he wants to be an engineer so he can build roller coasters. He also made a chicken exit for people like me who are afraid to ride them.

Later in the evening, we watched a movie and then Michael and Dylan rocked out to AC/DC while Cass and I laughed!

There is a "first" for everything!!

We had many "firsts" this weekend. Friday night after we ate dinner at The Salty Iguana we went to our first Shawnee Mission Northwest High School football game. They did not win but it was still fun. Saturday morning Cass worked on her first big project in middle school. It was a leaf project and we had leaves EVERYWHERE. My poor kitchen!!!!!

Then my sister was passing through and we spent 1 1/2 hours together before Michael took her to the airport. We did not do anything exciting because there were leaves EVERYWHERE.

Saturday evening Dylan had his first football game ever!! It did not go so well because they lost 6-42 but he said that he had a lot of fun. Here is Michael giving him a pep talk before the game.

They needed exta help with the chains so Michael volunteered for the job but he was instructed to keep his mouth shut. Oh boy was that hard for him!!!

My little number 27!

Dylan, are you focused on the game or the cheerleaders?????

Today we took the kids to their first car show. Dylan was impressed that he was actually taller than a car. Our friend Pete had his car in the show and he was nice enough to pose for a picture.

Tonight I made Southwest Beef Pie and homemade salsa. Now I want to sit in my comfy chair and rest. Hope everyone had a great weekend.
