bleed hockey

When the nephews come to visit, we play hockey! And they LOVE it. Well, Blake at least!

Amanda and Peter just need to give up the resistance. 

Split weekends start

Ed and Eddie are in St. Louis MO this weekend playing 4 games...while Rowan and I stayed home because she had a team building event planned. 

Boys wasting time between games!

Boys went 2-1-1 this weekend. 

Piper got a bath...before and after...she takes after her mom!

And I think she has learned what people food is...

Team building at Farm Tough Hockey!

Thank you and pumpkin firsts

I was surprised with this treat from a co-worker as a token of thanks this week. 

So sweet!

A chiropractor near us had this giant pumpkin photo contest going on...so what better way to introduce Piper to a pumpkin for the first time. Go big or go home. 

Finally, a Knutson wedding!

Matt and Jenessa tied the knot today! Eales and Knutsons unit in Pewaukee. 

While it was a weird feeling and decision to make given the whole Covid Pandemic, it was an awesome day to spend with family! Got to see people again and socialize. 

We all wore masks in the church...but not many were found at the dinner/reception. While I did sit with cousins I do see occasionally; we didn't really mingle much or stay very late. So we were semi responsible about the situation. Now we just pray we don't get COVID. 14 days and counting. 

Lots of fun pictures in no particular order. 

Grandma Audrey was a flower girl!

Spoiled little girl

Tried to get a picture of the changing colors on our walk today. 

And when a girl gets a new fleece, in purple, we capitalize on photo ops. 

She's a snuggle bug...whether she likes it or not is the question.

missed Piper

When Mom is gone for a few days, and brings you home a super cute vest, it's a photo session. 

Piper, Karen and Doug supported the Ads while we were in TN!

Nashville Tourney

Took advantage of Eddie's hockey tournament in TN and made a short family trip of it. We left Wednesday night after practice and headed to KY. We spent the night in Louisville, and then headed to Nashville first thing in the morning. 

We spent several hours touring Nashville, shops, rinks, parks, bars, etc. Then had lunch at a rooftop bar...a bit more walking. Then headed back to the hotel. Had to walk off our meals, ice cream, etc. 

Friday the hockey started...through the weekend. Didn't end the weekend in 1st place, but played some great hockey. Ended up with a 1-2-1 record. 

The highlight of the trip, line dancing. Made the kids get out on the dance floor and learn a line dance. They were troopers, masks and all. 

Was nice to break up the trip down, but the trip home was quite long. But we all survived.
