Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!

Last weekend we picked up the Diercks and took a little road trip for the weekend to Knoxville, Iowa.  We were excited to spend some time with them again and watch some dirt track races.  The boys had such a great time playing together.  As an added bonus, we got to go to Jordan Creek Mall on Saturday morning.

This weekend the boys got to spend a couple of nights with Nana and Papa.  Great Grandma Phyliss and Nini joined them as well.  From what I hear, they had a ton of fun.  On Friday night Jason and I met our friend Mike for dinner then met the Diercks at another dirt track race.  We didn't get home until about 12:30 am and we had to sleep fast!  Our friends Jen and Chris Toohey picked us up at 7am on Saturday morning for another weekend getaway.  We set out for South Bend, Indiana, for the Notre Dame vs. Air Force football game.  What a cool campus!

It was great to catch up with Jen.  She has 3 girls and works full time so she is a busy woman!  It was such a gorgeous weekend.  80 degrees and sunny.  I like the way Fall is starting off this year.

After the Irish pulled off a win, we drove part way home then stopped for some Italian food and a couple glasses of wine.  We went to our hotel and unfortunately the guys beat Jen and I at a couple of games of euchre before we turned in at about 1am.  We had to get back around lunch time today so Chris and Jen could watch their oldest daughter play flag football.  Jason and I ran some errands then picked up Nash and Nolan from my parents.  I was really excited to see them.  Thank you Nana, Papa, Nini and Great Grandma Phyl for taking such great care of the boys this weekend.  Even though we didn't really get caught up on much sleep, I am feeling recharged and ready for the week.  BRING IT ON!  (I hope this feeling lasts through Friday).
