The Team

The boyz had a great showing on Saturday at our home tourney! Tanner had 2 pins and won the 3rd by a tech. Dalton got his "50th " career win and was listed on the Guillotine as a career milestone for a freshman. He was all excited until he saw the wrestler above him was a senior who has 200 wins. Tabor was a trooper and came home to work the score clock for the tourney.

Finals week can you tell the boyz are stressed out?

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.

Ll is for Lego and Mm is for Monsters

I haven’t been taking pictures of our preschool curriculum through the holidays.  Things just got overwhelming and keeping up with the pictures was just more than I could do for a while.  We have been plugging along through the alphabet and we are now happily on Ll and Mm just in time for Logan’s Monster 5th birthday party! 

There are SO many resources for curriculum that has to do with Legos and Monsters for the letters Ll and Mm that I couldn’t help but post for your enjoyment, even if I didn’t take pictures of our lego and monster adventures for this week.

A Wonderful Life!

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is all the time we got to spend with family. We are SO blessed! I pray that my children grow to love and cherish each other as our family has.

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"
