Insurance Day

Well, today was the day we tested out our new insurance. This morning Garrett got up and put my glasses on, as he usually does. Whenever we were at a wrestling match and he was sitting with me on the bleachers he always grabbed my glasses because he said he could not see the mats. We knew we were changing insurance the beginning of April so I told him to wait. Steven took the day off because the kids all had a dental cleaning in LaCrosse today and he wanted to go with, plus Levi had a soccer game right afterwards. So I asked Steven to call and see if they had any openings to get Garrett's eye's examined. Well, the picture tells the outcome. We now have 4-4 eyes in the house with Shelby falling close behind. I am so glad we now have optical insurance. He loves his new glasses (after trying on every pair in Eyemart Express) and the fact that he can now see.

So off to the dentist we went right after his glasses where finished. I am glad to announce we are cavity free!! We got out of there at 3:30 with Levi's game scheduled at 5:00 and an hour and a half drive ahead of us. Shortly after we got out of town the coaches wife called (Thank you Julie) and told us they canceled the game. It had rained hard all day and the field was already soaking wet on Tuesday. So we hit the eye doctor for glasses for one and the dentist for cleaning on all five and only had to spent $40, not bad!

April 22nd Soccer Game

So I finally got a clip of video worth sharing. I did not get anything on Thursday night's game. it was freezing cold. They won that game 3-1 with Levi scoring one of the goals. Tonights game he played against one of his friends (Austin Day) We were teasing him that since he scored 2 times in the first game and once in the second game that he was not going to score anything in this game. He said he was not going to loose. Well, he proved us wrong. Levi's team won 5:4. Levi scored 4 of the goals. The video clip is of the first goal. he has the red shirt with the blue socks and cleats.

My New Bathroom

I just have to put some finishing touches to it, otherwise it is done. I know it cannot be, but it seems so much bigger... I just noticed I did not take any pictures of the shower, linen closet or other door. I have not replaced that door yet, since I only measured one door and figured they were both the same size. Well, it turns out they are not...so we are running again later this week to get the other door. I will post more pics when we get that finished.

Levi's First Game

Well, today Levi had his first soccer game. His friends have played for years and this year he asked if he could give it a try. He loves it. Kaleb had a doctor appointment. It turns out he has bursitis on his elbow. It continues to fill with fluid. The doctor suggested a compression wrap and anti-inflammatory to start with. We got home shortly after lunch. Levi's game did not start until 5:00. The second we got home he ran down and put his soccer clothes on. Can you say obsessed?? Well, his team won 3-1. Levi scored 2 goals. I will have to check later and see if one of the guys caught anything on video. They all took turns with the video camera. He has games on Tuesdays and Thursdays so keep your eyes open for many more pictures! Levi's good friend Ryan Langendorf is on his team and his dad is the coach.

Wrestling Banquet

Sunday afternoon was the wrestling banquet. Sethy got his Rookie Award. He loved it! Levi, as bad of a season that he had, still won 2nd place for the most wins and 1st place for the most pins. His friend Robert won 1st place most wins. Garrett won 1st place most wins and most pins. His friend Myles won 2nd place most wins. Garrett also won most improved wrestler. Myles got the Most valuable and Heath got Best Sportsmanship. You can see Kaleb in the background helping hand out the trophies. The papers they handed out were if they had an over 50% record. Another great year wrapped up. Now that wrestling is done, tomorrow Levi has his first soccer game. Life continues....

Cold Camping!!!!

So Dad and Mom were passing through on their way to revival meetings. They were traveling in their motor home. They spent one night in our driveway. Then off they went to Baraboo. Dena had them set up at Devil's Lake Campground. We decided to go down and have a bonfire and cook out. Boy, was it cold (but fun)!!!!

While we were at the campgrounds Seth lost his 2nd tooth. he lost the first one the night before. He was not too happy for some reason when I took his picture. This is a big thing for him (not his unhappiness, the teeth). Since he lost teeth, it means his bones are actually growing. I will tak any advancement!!!
