Mmmmmmmm

Homemade pretzels. Yum.
We made a dozen last night - they are
all gone now. :)




Here's the recipe if you're interested. Its fairly
labor intensive - but VERY worth it. :)

Spooky Scary

Another Hawkeye Win! Doesn't matter how you
get it - as long as its a win :)

We got to go to the Alumni Tailgate and eat
some yummy breakfast food.



Micah and his breaded breakfast treats :)







Murray and his new toy - its a tire. You would
think a toy like this would be indestructible...
he was eating rubber bits off the tread in about
2 hours.

Oreo balls. Yum.

Swine Flu and ....umm....we may never know.



Dr. Ben Dover, proctology










Did you figure out who everyone was??
Ghoul-lei, babysitter, Jon and Kate, Cereal killer,
Quarterback with a chip on his shoulder, quarter
pounder with cheese.

Oh and on a side note....CHECK IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!

The following clips have to do with Brad straining
his back while fluffing the sheets on his bed.

Mud

Just thought I would share a few photos from
Micah's game on Friday. It was wet, cold, and
muddy. Yay for October football!

Micah is number 7. Oh you can't see him? Well
he's the one covered in mud. Maybe that doesn't help...



But you'll be pleased to know that Dad and Mom
went right to work once Micah got home, and all his
equipment is cleaner than its ever been. They took
his pads into mom's shower and hosed them off
and Dad had Micah's jersey on the soak cycle for at
least 2 hours. :)

Fabulous Football

Yay for great football games! It started on
Friday with Micah's home game vs. Central Lyon.
FYI - Sioux Center has not beaten Central Lyon
in FIFTEEN years!

Here is a clip of Micah running for the first down.

4th quarter - 12 seconds left in the game - tied 7 to 7.
QB sneak - was it successful?

That's right - my brother won the game :)
Here he comes through the student tunnel.

On to Saturday - GO HAWKS!
What an amazing victory :) Micah had about
ten friends over (plus all of us) so the noise
during the blocked punt and the rest of the
phenomenal 4th quarter was deafening.
It was a blast.



And finally - Sunday. The Van Gorps are huge Vikings
fans so we watched the last five minutes of the game.
Vikings were down 20-24 with seconds left and I
couldn't help but think - three great wins in one
weekend? Nah..it can't be. But lo and behold, Mr. Favre
connects with this guy (Lewis?? Seth had never seen him
before :) ) for the winning touchdown. It was down to the
centimeter but they pulled it off.
