You know you're a Lancer when...


In relation to Jeff Foxworthy's you know you are a redneck when...

You know you're a Southeast Lancer when you can do an entire load of laundry consisting of nothing but Lancer Blue! (light blue)

Oh, and have I mentioned that I am SICK AND TIRED OF DOING LAUNDRY?

Pittsburg State Football Game 11/1/08



Notice the Pitt State banana earrings? They are my favorite!



What a fun day!

I had never been to a Pitt State football game before, but believe me I will definitely go again! It was a girls day out! Tori, Aubrey, Megan, our wonderful friend Anna Thompson, and myself loaded up and went together to a ball game. (Brady was supposed to go with us, but stood us up at the last minute to go hunting with his father.)

While we weren't so much into the game aspect (not that it was even a good game...), we really enjoyed the social aspect of the game. Pittsburg State, for those of you that don't get the chance to frequent Pittsburg, put in a huge new jumbotron that they have dubbed the "Jungletron." They have a guy walking around with a tv camera and they often put fans cheering or what have you on the screen. (Have I mentioned that it is huge?) Well, Megan, Aubrey, and Anna would head down by the wall everytime they saw him coming in hopes of getting on the Jungletron. Everytime I saw the camera man heading their way I would get my camera out in hopes of getting a shot of the girls on screen. Well, Miss Megan finally made it on, and I got my shot! Too bad I don't have an awesome zoom camera...But, oh well, I think this one is pretty amazing. He was really close up on her face!

Not only did Megan wind up on the Jungletron, but later in the game Gus was throwing a football into the crowd playing catch with the fans and she happened to catch one of his passes. Too bad when she threw it back she beamed the lady in the front row in the shoulder! LOL It was funny! Gus ducked down and hid behind the wall and came up slowly like he was so guilty. It was a hoot!

Between all of the Megan fun, me screaming "loudly" when they set off the cannon after the National Anthem, and the joy of having fun Miss Anna with us, it was definitely a time of memories for all!

Halloween



WOW! Today was so much different for me. First of all, Cherokee schools do their Halloween celebrations totally different than I am used to! They have their Halloween parade first thing in the morning, followed by the parties. (I'm used to having them last thing in the afternoon.)

Secondly, my kids are getting so big that all but Megan ditched me tonight. Tori, Aubrey, and Brady all went with friends. So, Megan and I went together by ourselves. (Not that she was happy about that!)

I LOVE trick or treating in Cherokee! We only went down two streets and Megan had completely filled her pail. People here are so generous! :-)

When she had enough trick our treating we went to the Baptist Church in town for their Fall Harvest celebration. They had games for the kids. They even had an awesome hay maze in the street out front. Both girls wound up meeting up with us there.

After-a-while we got hungry and headed down to the local bar and grill to eat. It happened to be karaoke night. I was amazed by Miss Megan! She jumped right up there and sang a solo! Then, Tori and her friend were barely singing, so she jumped back up and took over their mike. Aubrey and her friend sang also and did a wonderful job. It was a great time had by ALL!

Tori dressed up as a boy...Aubrey dressed up as Kellie Pickler....Brady was Angus Young, guitarist for ACDC...and Megan was a black cat

Vic's Old Man Baseball Team

Vic started up an "old man baseball team" over here in Cherokee. A couple of weeks ago they played a triangle with Pittsburg & Parsons. He seemed to really have a good time. He was a bit sore aftwerwards, but will always enjoy the memories. He caught as usual, and Brady played the music.





Vic's birthday, Aug. 16th, 2008






Leave it to Vic...When asked to help coach the East team for the 15 year old Babe Ruth Classic tournament in Ft. Scott on his birthday, his first coment was, "I can't think of a better way to spend my birthday than on the ballfield." Being asked was a great honor, and he had a blast. One of the boys from his Southeast HS team was on his team, Dalton Powell.

Megan's 8th Birthday Party


Megan had her 8th birthday party at the end of July at the Pittsburg bowling alley. I would say that everyone had loads of fun!
