It's another busy Saturday

Our Saturday's are definately not boring and I don't forsee them slowing down for a couple of months. Today was another game for Brett and the Knights. Gma Jeri and Papa Corky came down Friday night so they could be at Brett's game.
Brett had a couple good runs today, however only one was on the side of the field I was sitting.

Brett's team also kicked for the extra point this game (normally they just run a play). Brett was the holder and JD the kicker. Unfortunately they didn't make it but with more practice they'll soon get it over and thru the goal posts.

The Knight's pulled out their 7th win...19-0!!

After Brett's game it was off to our annual trip to Walter's Pumpkin Patch near Burns, KS. This is a great place to visit, they have tons of stuff for the kids and every year they get bigger. However before the pumpkin patch pics...I have to share this one of Blake and my fav fall flower...orange/rust mum. This thing is huge and I love it. I have another one just like it but it's not as big as this one.

Now the pumpkin patch pics....as always I always take pics of the boys at the measuring stick.

Another annual pic....

Brett celebrating with the powercat pumpkin with the win over the dirty birds today!!

This was a new addition to the patch this year....

One of the boys fav things to do is the dirt hill slide...

Another fav...the jumping pillow....Brett practiced his front flips.

Our pumpkin hunt was a success.

The "train" ride.

By the time we actually left the pumpkin patch Blake found a bigger pumpkin that he wanted and he also decided we needed to have a green pumpkin for the Green Bay Packers. Too bad they didn't have purple ones or we'd have come home with one of those too.

We ended our day with supper at Stearman Field Bar and Grill in Benton. Great little place to get a bite to eat and watch small aircraft land and take off. All in all it's been a good day, we are all tired for sure. Hoping to end the weekend with a Green Bay win over the Vikings tomorrow.

It's all Brett....

Gonna warn you about two things in this post...it's all about Brett and probably pic overload...again.

Thursday night was Brett's music program at school. The theme for the program was "It's all In A Name". Brett had a solo in the song Casey Jones. He did quite well even though he was nervous as heck.

I must give my biased opinion....he looked quite handsome.
Singing his solo.And of course he's always got to be a screwball at some point when I'm taking pics.

Sunday was a "Bo Jackson" day. Brett had his last baseball game for the fall season at 12:40. They pulled out a win 13-12.

He makes contact and ends up getting a homerun due to over thrown balls. A run is a run.

Then it was change uniforms and play football at 3:15. Brett had several good runs/plays. And to not only help his mom out in keeping track of him on the field he now wears pink shoelaces in his cleats and also has pink wrist bands in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness.

Here he is on one of his big runs. (Right side of pic. #7)

Escapes on tackle....

...to gain a few more yards.

But can't quite shake this guy.

Here's another run...look for the pink shoelaces and wrist bands.Goes down but covers up the ball to avoid the fumble.Reaches for the pass but doesn't quite reach high enough as the guy behind takes it away.

However Brett doesn't give up and goes after him....

...making the tackle.

All in all it was a great Sunday....long but fun. My parents were able to come down and catch both games, plus we went out to eat and also went to see Dolphin Tale (excellent movie).

It's turning out to be a great football season as all my fav teams are 6-0...Knights, KSU, and Packers!!

Some odds and ends....

I thought I better blog about something since I try to blog at least once a week so this one is just some odds and ends that I've done over the last several weeks.

First up is my new t-shirts for Brett's baseball and football games. Anyone who knows me knows I like "my bling". (In case you can't tell in the pic...the design is all done in small rhinestones.) My friend Summer has started a new line goods and these are just some of what she's been busy doing. Go check her blog for more... www.thegoodsonsummer.blogspot.com. She can hook you up with a shirt for any occassion, sport, holiday ect.

I told Brett he shouldn't have any trouble finding me in the stands now....hahaha.

My friend Kate asked for some help in decorating her daughters room. So between the 3 of us we came up with this saying for one wall.

Another wall she's going to put this shelf to hang her ribbons/medals from. I was so excited when I found these knobs for it. McKenzie's room is purple but her bedspread is all kinds of bright colors....it reminds me a lot of mardi gras colors.

And then on another wall she wanted her name. So I embellished the letters with boas, bling and drama cutouts.

I've also had a couple of orders for anniversarys....these folks are celebrating 25 years.

This one was for my aunt and uncle who celebrated 40 years. (This pic is of it layed out before I finished it as I accidently erased the finished product...oh well you get the idea.)

A friend of mine's husband wanted a gift to take to some people that he hunts on their land and between the two of us we came up with this. I hope they enjoy it.

And another anniversary gift for a friends' parents....Happy 40th to the Oleen's.

That's it for now. Thanks for stopping by. If you see anything you like or want to get started with your Christmas shopping I'd love to help you with your list.

Holy Cross Shopping Bazaar is around the corner.

The 4th Annual Holy Cross Shopping Bazaar at Holy Cross Lutheran Church (600 N. Greenwich, Wichita) is November 5, 2011 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free. Over 75 Vendors providing crafts and products. Food and drinks are also available for purchase. My friend Patti is in charge of this and she does a great job of putting it together. It's a great event. Summer and I will once again have a booth. Summer's got a whole new line of goods...check her blog for a preview... www.thegoodsonsummer.blogspot.com.

I can say I learned from last years show that people were mostly intersted in Christmas items and the frosted luminaries were the biggest hit. So I've concentrated on that for this years show. Here are some pics of what will be at the show. This is not everything...just a highlight as I'm still putting inventory together.

This little jar would be good to fill with treats for neighbors, co-workers, teachers, family or grab gifts in the office. Just a few ideas.

I'm not sure how much I, personally, will be at this show as it's Brett's last football game but my items will be there and Summer is going to take care of it for me. What a gem she is.

Another Exciting Day of Football!

Today the Knights took on the Vikings. Both teams went in today's game undefeated and the Vikings are the reigning champs from last year. So we knew it would be a tough game, we just didn't know how tough. It was neck and neck but our offense scored late in the 4th quarter and our defense held tight to pull out the win 13 to 12. It was a fun and exciting game.

Another...

After their games the parents make a tunnel for them to run through.

Not only did the Knights pull off a big win but so did our Cats. We got home to watch most of the game. I also realized today as I was watching the Cats on TV at home that this was my second home game to miss as season ticket holder since 1993. The first game was when Brett was born (he was born on a Monday and I missed the following game...didn't think I should drag a 6 day old baby to a game no matter how dedicated I was.) and today being the second. Times are changing as I'm sure this won't be the last home KSU game we miss. All it all it really doesn't matter as both games were exciting and it's also nice they both came out with a win. Tomorrow its off to Slugger baseball.
