Newborn stage, bottle and pacifier break, switching from a crib to a toddler bed...these are all things that require consistency and time when raising children. BUT... our little Abby went potty on her big girl potty two times in two days. This is HUGE! I see the light... I'm really trying to vision having all three kids house broken (a little humor). It really makes me excited to think that we may not have to purchase diapers soon... again, I'm seeing a small, faint light :) Yay for Abby!
These past couple of weeks have gone by so quickly because we've been so busy. We are so proud of the Preston Trojans and the Armstrong-Ringsted Mustangs. The Trojans lost last Thursday, but A-R won, and will play this Friday at the Dome. Go Mustangs!
Have a super week! Erica

It's Fall Time!
It's Fall and for the Felkey's that means leaves, leaves, and more leaves. We have two huge trees out front our house and we have a million and 10 leaves. The boys love to help. Hudson drives the 4-wheeler with a wagon tied up behind. Hayden loads the wagon and brings it to Anthony and me to the burn pile. Abby just jump and plays :) Anthony continues to help Holdgrafers in the evening, and is putting in many extra hours at Kunaus. This is such a busy season for him. We don't let it stop us, and we even join him once in awhile!
On Friday night I took the boys to the Clinton High School game. They were undefeated, and we hadn't been to a game yet. I am so fortunate to have David Johnson in my classroom right now two days a week. He is such a good kid, and an amazing athlete. It will be fun to watch him in college as well. The boys lost, but they had a great season. Speaking of football, the Preston Trojans won Friday night, and so they will play next Thursday at the Dome! Our hometown Armstrong-Ringsted also won on Friday night. If both teams win on Thursday we will play the following Friday in the championship game. What an exciting time! What about those Vikings?!? They too are having a fabulous year. AND... the Hawks (okay besides today).
Hudson had H1N1 a couple of weeks ago. He ran a 102.0 fever for three days, and was just absolutely miserable with body aches and feeling like junk! Abby has had a weird digestive issue for 2 weeks, and I'm still hacking away too. I DO believe we are all on the mend.
Hudson and Hayden are fabulous. Hudson was 'Bumble Bee' from Transformers, and Hayden was a Power Ranger for Halloween. Abby was a bouncing Tiger :) Hudson and Hayden both had conferences a couple weeks ago. We couldn't be more proud of them both!
School is good for me. I have conferences in a couple of weeks and then the Hoyers will be down for 'Thanksmas.'
We continue to have our house for sale. We really thought we had a family last week. They went to the bank, loved the house, but they just want to be in Bellevue. Its frustrating, but we're so fortunate we don't have to move like so many bazillions of people. We are in the process of zoning some land out by Geno's (which we are very excited about). We'll have 1 acre and it more out of town (but still in).. Its an awesome location! We had to be approved by the Jackson County Zoning Committee last Monday, and we were. That was step 1 of many. This Monday we have a meeting with the City of Preston. Our motto is, "Time is on our hands." Once we have the land, we can build when the house sells... it might be a year or 5 years... but at least we'll have it. That's what's going on the Felkey's lives! Take care everyone! Love, Erica
