Both of my college teams lost.

Yeah about that....

 Oh boy!  I was so busy last week that I totally forgot to blog!  That is how it is right now between racing, football, and life.  Here are the main points: two runs, we won our first football game, had a beer night with co workers and just talked, had our first work party (missed the red raiders winning), and raced and got wrecked YET AGAIN.  Sigh.  Racing is not being kind to us right now.   Here are some pictures of how our week went.


Lots of smoke from Canada made running not fun even with the lower temps.  



That is a Raiders W!  Won over our biggest rivals Rock Creek.  Andrew got a little bit of playing time and sure learned a ton (especially how to cover you gap and what happens if you don't, whoops).  



And we had wine at the winery and the best food ever from Jinzy and Company food truck.  I love the band the Cover ups, they never disappoint.  You can't beat good food, good music, and good wine 3 minutes away from your house in the beautiful Flint Hills of Kansas.


The car is broke again due to bad passing by the other kid.  The long and short of it is we need our cars to be 100 percent so this doesn't happen and he isn't in the back of the pack screwing around.   He is a good race car driver and at one had time had very fast cars.  Hopefully as I type this on (gulp) Saturday of the next week that we will get the cars fixed as we have a bye week from football and racing.   

Have a great week y'all!

Vertigo?

 


A little bit of running.  Three runs that didn't amount to much mileage, but felt damn good.  Then another heat wave hit. Sigh.  


First week of pads thanks to the heat wave last week.  We had to move all practices into the gym which I think was a good thing because they could just focus on plays and getting those down.  First game next weekend, EEEEKKKK!


First jersey day at school.  We support the older kids when they play and were super excited to go to the game in Clay Center. He's worn the same jersey for the last three years and I can't believe our time with kid's club ball is almost over.



Went to cheer on the Boomtown boys.  It was a great game till suddenly it wasn't and we lost.  It's a rebuilding year for sure since we lost so many amazing seniors, but this crop of kids are also amazing and I am sure they will step up.  


6th grade fall photos.  Borrowed polo, fake smile, PE/weights hair.  


Fall is that you?



KSU football game!  The only one we might be able to go to thanks to racing and our own football games.  



Big 12 champions!



It was super hot, but we were in the wear white section and in the shade once the sun went down.  


GO CATS!  It was a win and we had so much fun.  Thanks to Stanions for the seats and the tailgating.  

Poor Willie!   He did 45 push ups that night.  Plus, we got to see the freshman quarter back Avery, who Andrew met at camp, play and get his first collegiate touchdown.  



And Sunday I woke up with what I think is Vertigo.  As I type this Monday (yes, late again) I am still feeling like I am on a boat listing to the left.  Sometimes the room spins and I can't lean back to wash my hair without holding on to something.  I thought it would be funny to wear a shirt that said Day Drinking since I was walking around like a drunk person.  


Have a great week y'all!
