Just because I felt like seeing a little sunshine today!
We have had way too many days without sunshine lately and it is getting depressing! Too bad that I had to google sunshine to get some!

Volleyball Pictures
Here are a few pictures I took of the volleyball girls the night of Districts.
Cassie and Courtney with one of their "treats" in the treat bag....funny glasses. These girls are dorks and love this kind of stuff.
Courtney and Larae.....trying to look like "stars"!
The team....they are winners in my book, even though they had a losing season and are done for the year.
Courtney bumping one over...don't ya just love her pink headband....NOT! She likes to be different.
Tipping one over.

I finally got a chance to download the pictures from the all-state choir performance that Courtney recently took part in. I will share a few of them with you.
Courtney after the performance!
One of the two quartets sent from our school - Courtney in the center, Isaac to the left (with the orange flower on his lapel), Amber, left of Isaac and Kyle, right of Courtney (with the orange flower on his lapel). The girls all looked so beautiful in their formal gowns and the boys were so handsome in their suits. All 4 of our boys wore orange ties and all 4 of the girls had on black dresses....they looked very nice. I didn't get a picture of our whole group, I am waiting for their instructor to get me one.

Screeching Halt!
Everything with the corn harvest came to a screeching halt yesterday afternoon when a blizzard blew in! Yikes....I knew it was coming, they have been talking about it on the news and radio for several days but I just wasn't quite ready for it. We are praying that it melts soon so we can get the rest of the corn out.
I have been catching up on some of the much needed housework this morning (laundry and dishes mostly) and SLEEP! I slept in this morning and have already taken a short nap too!!! I think I could sleep all day but we have work at the hog barns that needs to be done so I will be heading there soon.
I hope you all have a GREAT weekend!

100 MPH
It seems like we are going 100 mph, trying to beat the storm that is on it's way. We have been putting in some late nights and getting started early every morning. I have a SLIGHT break right now so what is my priority......updating my blog of course!!!!!
Courtney's volleyball team lost first round of Districts so she is done with volleyball for the year. She is now practicing cheerleading...they have entered a cheer competition to be held the first part of December. She is also going to open gym....getting some basketball time in before the actual season starts. I think they start official practice for basketball the week of Thanksgiving.
Jeremy has been coming home from college a lot to help on the farm. He will be pressure-washing barns this weekend as we have emptied one out and it need to get it ready for new pigs.
Chad and I.....working of course and trying to catch some sleep now and again. We are down to 400 acres of corn left. I can't wait to be done....I am SO TIRED!

Broke Down
The combine broke down last night....we are waiting to get it fixed right now. Not good with the rain and the snow forecasted to start tonight.
Courtney's team plays first round of Districts tonight for volleyball. They have not had a very good season but you never know what will happen when Districts roll around.
I am hoping to get around and check in with all of you sometime soon. Maybe if it rains I will get a chance. I HAVE to get a few things done around this house....it is such a disaster with us running in and out for days on end.
Also....gotta get in to vote today. I have to make sure to get a vote in for my sister-in-law Kristi, she is running for the House again......GO KRISTI!

Concert
The All-State Choir and Orchestra concert that Courtney performed in on Saturday night was AMAZING! They had 940 choir members from 149 high schools throughout South Dakota and 159 orchestra members from 27 SD schools....just AMAZING!
Courtney had a great time and is going to try out again next year. The 8 kids from our school that went are a good bunch of kids which made it even more fun for her. I did take a few pictures but don't have time to post them today....hopefully I can get them downloaded and posted soon.
