HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY KEYLEE!!

It is hard to believe that Keylee turned 2 years old on Saturday.

A picture of me and Keylee on the day she came home from the hospital. Kira and Keenan were eager to hold their baby sister and now she won't sit still long enough for anyone to hold her.

MHS FOOTBALL SEASON HAS COME TO AN END

Although there were times during this season when I didn't think the season would ever end, it broke my heart Friday night when the season did end. Joe's first season as head coach was so exciting and he could not have asked for a better group of kids or coaches to work with. Now that the season is over my blog updates will likely slow as football is really the only thing that goes on at our house (just kidding). Nonetheless, I hope Joe can find some time to relax as he is already in my ear about what he has to do now to get ready for next year. When I saw this picture in the Mercury (our local newspaper) it totally broke my heart. The picture is Joe walking to the locker room after the game Friday night.

And it continues . . . .

The season continues for MHS. The Indians beat Maize on Friday night to advance to the second round of the playoffs. The Indians are now 10-0 and face Wichita Heights on Friday night in Manhattan. It has been very exciting (and stressful) around our house. The kids and I have been missing Joe as he spends hours and hours beyond the normal practice time preparing for practice and games (not to mention his high level of stress). He is fortunate to have a great coaching staff to support him and overall, it has been a great season. Keep it up Indians!!!

GO INDIANS!!

PINK LAUNDRY RUN

Woke up at 4:30 a.m. to hit to road to KC (Lees Summit to be exact) with Tanna and Debbie to run the Pink Laundry Run. It was a long day but it was a good time. I am sure you are thinking who leaves town to go run when KSU is hosting KU?? And . . KSU wins.

Friday Night Thriller . . MHS STILL UNDEFEATED

The MHS Indians continue to make it happen. The game was 3-0 at half time with MHS leading. Then, Junction City scored in the second half with MHS trailing 7-3. Just when I thought the game was over, MHS did what they have done all season, they made it happen. With the clock winding down and basically no time left, our quarterback hurled a pass into the endzone with Manhattan to come away with a touchdown. It was quite a night. MHS now continues undefeated at 9-0; the Silver Trophy is back where it belongs; MHS is Centennial League Champs and District Champs and will host the first round of playoffs next week.
