Halloween, USAFA, Wrestling stuff, etc

So I'm starting with this gem of a screenshot. This is a copy of my gas receipts since I got my new car.  Add it up folks. Okay, I'll tell ya - $129.91 since middle of August on gas. It's the first week of November. Yes, I love it.

The next batch of pictures are in no real order other than they're either directly from Grant or screenshot from his social media. So, they're all USAFA stuff.

He was the flag football coach - and THEY WON THE LEAGUE!
He wasn't really the coach all season but he was the final game!

This is their AF "boss" Major Huge who apparently also plays in the league. Grant is further down the sideline.

AF hosted Army at the Denver Bronco stadium last weekend. They bused all the cadets up there for the game. Grant made some signs!

The super duper cool thing about him being able to attend an AF game here is that he has had a tour of this stadium on the exact same trip where he decided in 7th grade he wanted to attend the Academy!  It has come full circle!

Roommate Brennan on the left

Roommate Ginther (funny enough I still don't know his first name)

Yes, please.

Their first Colorado snow!

Halloween party

Just a little squadron competition

Racing go carts off base

Our kid happened to be on some pretty big social media outlets when the world champion was presented his trophy. He's in the top right corner of the crowd!

Now on to Stillwater life!

Here's my BeReal from yesterday - Wednesday job for all to see.

Reid is kinda maybe sorta thinking about taking up tennis for the spring so we have a few real lessons to see what he thinks.

I wish this picture was so far down the post but it is....

BEDLAM 2023!!!!

Jason and Dad went to the game!
Mom had me over for lunch and I left in the 4th quarter because even though I am such a competitive person, I'd rather be the person in charge of the outcome and not relying on kids to determine history.

But, boy oh boy, they did so good!!
OSU WINS!

I took Eddie for a walk instead and kept asking Siri "what is the score of the game?" for updates.

Reid learned the basics of staining a trailer. 

homemade bread from 5th grader Paul - it was great!

Reid made the jumbotron

Halloween

Jason and I carved this year.

Kyle pulled out one of our standbys for the celebration this year. Thankfully, he chose the one With Nuts and gave the No Nuts to his friend.

They all went to the big party and decided it was too big so they just went back to one friend's house and chilled for a few hours.

Reid had a great time as Bob Ross and walked around with the guys from the neighborhood.

Kyle won a big giveaway of some valuable boxing gloves!!

We got to see his "wrestling" photos of his kicking!  Whatever man - you do you!

He also has gotten Donna very dirty from mudding and from pumpkin patch visiting a few times. He loves it!

It's funny - he was smiling from this pumpkin patch visit a whole lot more than he was from the time he went with his family two weeks before!

Lots of hard work for wrestling. They then went to the game!

Homecoming parade - we went to go find Frank Lucas before the parade started. He is the first of two who supported Grant by giving him his congressional nomination to USAFA. Without one, a kid cannot attend an Academy. He was very nice to us.

Youth

KLife event. Reid is front and center here.

I saw this on instagram and just really agreed. 
Wish it was all taught! Thankful for parents who taught most and a husband who also values teaching life skills to our kids.
