Our Cheerleader


Our little cheerleader was rooting for the Vikings yesterday but aparently wasn't cheering loud enough. Another upset.... Anthony was pretty ticked about that one. We are REALLY looking forward to our weekend 'get-away' without kids in a few weeks to the Vikings vs. Bears game in Chicago.
This past Friday night was Prestons Homecoming. It was a great game and the Trojans had a victory! It was exciting! On Saturday Mr. Soccer himself had a 9:00 game. I'm not trying to brag, but he's pretty darn good. He's playing with 1st graders too, and man he gets right in there. He's for SURE our 'rule follower' and we have to remind him that in soccer it is OK to steal the ball. :) God for bid he hurt the other team members feelings... SERIOUSLY!!! He has a game tomorrow night too!
On Sunday we went to church in the morning along with Sunday School. After that we made a trip to Clinton for a motion detector run. As most of you know a few weeks ago we had a man and lady lurking around our house... It was/is very scary. He (in a hooded sweatshirt) was up to our house and her by our garage. We wanted to add some light to hopefully scare off people when they got to close. Our house is now like the move National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. It is SOOO funny! Its bright all right!
Hootie Boy learned how to ride his bike tonight without training wheels. We are so proud of him. He had been practicing only once awhile back and then just tonight decided he could 'do it.' Yeah for Hootie Boy! He was so proud today when I picked him up from daycare because he had gotten an award for using good manners without being told. He was so proud of it and said, "This for sure gives me a good heart of making good choices."
Happy Week Everyone! Love to all!!!

Armstong

It was a fun weekend had by all in Armstong. When we go back we need a few extra days to see everyone it seems like. We didn't roll into Armstong until late Friday night. Jeff and Lori have a really nice camper and are always so nice in letting us 'crash' in it. Having the 3 kids you can imagine how much space we take up!
On Saturday Nicole hosted a shower for Lacey at her place. It was perfect. We hadn't seen a lot of the Felkey family friends in a long time and it was nice to catch up. The real special treat was seeing Russ, Jean, and Anna. Gosh they are super people!!! Lacey got some nice things for Jack and he was a trooper through it all (get it paul.. troooper). :) Thanks Nicole for doing everything.
Okay.. back to our nephew Jack.. He's adorable! They said he is about 10.5 pounds. He's changed a lot in just a month. Abby LOVED Jack.. When she would go to touch him though she would get to excited and scratch him and then he would cry. I said that they were going to put a restraining order on her. :) On Saturday we also got to stop by and see Madi and Kayla as well in Armstrong. It was so nice of Amy to plan her schedule around ours. HAHAHA!!! Our Godchild Drew Henderson turned 1 last week and they had his party on Saturday night so we stopped there for just a little bit to see them as well. Anthony, Cory, Jeff, and Paul hunted as well... they did very well.
On Sunday I took the kids to go see Michelle and the boys. I love watching the cousins interact with each other. They love each other so much and I think they will be 'besties' for life!! Cory came home so I got to see him as well. I love catching up with Smed and Cory!
We left later in the afternoon but the ride home went well. We stopped at our usual places (Target and Wendy's).
Back to work tomorrow. :) Thanks Felkey's for a FUN weekend!

Exciting Time

Hello All!
Last night we had Hudson's first soccer game. It is so much to sit with other parents and watch the kids. I feel awkward because I feel like I am to young to be doing this (ha ha)! It is such a proud feeling to watch your children do something they are so passionate about. I look forward to watching all 3 kids do sports, piano, or whatever they feel like doing in the future :)
Hayden has loved preschool. However, with low enrollment they are going to have to cancel the 3-year old preschool. Hayden's daycare teacher will still be the preschool teacher so he will still get that feeling of 'school.' I don't have the heart to tell him there won't be preschool so I'm just going to let him take his bookbag every darn day and pretend that he is going... He will for sure go to 4-year old preschool to prepare him for kindergarten the following year. Little Abby (AKA: Sissy) is growing so fast. She was awfully sick last week with a virus but has bounced out of it. She is so happy and 'full of life'... She just turned 8 months (tear drop).
School is going well for me. I have a student teacher and she is doing a really nice job. I also have an assistant in my room this year that works with a child one on one. Other than school, home, walk, bed... that's about it with me. Anthony just celebrated another year last week. I had gotten him Vikings tickets whom play the Bears. Him and I are going to have a BLAST that weekend. Jeff and Lori will be down to be with the kids that night. I hope everyone is loving the fall weather... WE ARE!!! We really enjoy going to the Preston football games! Have a great weekend everyone and be safe!

Taking a Stab at it :)

Hello Friends and Family!
I thought this was a super way for everone to stay in touch with us. Hopefully I can get into a routine of updating 'our life' a couple of times a week. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the days/weeks/years to come!
