CHRISTMAS CARD PICTURES!

I was thinking that when the children were smaller this is the time I started to try to create those perfect Christmas card pictures and how they hated to be posed. Well, I thought I would post a few pictures I found of our family and a few other people we know and love! Aren't pictures fun!

STATE QUARTERFINAL GAME

This past Saturday the Otters met the Knights and had a very difficult game. What a great season the Otters gave us. It was definitely something to cheer about. Here are some pictures of the rally that was held in the gym on Sunday for the Otter football team and some pictures of the last game.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COACH

Today is the Coach's birthday. So, I decided to post a few pictures. The last picture is how we see you the most these past few months....coaching! Happy Birthday to the best husband and dad around! We are proud of you! It has been hard to find computer time to blog these past few days because the Coach is busy watching game tape. We hope your day was a fun one and that your real birthday present arrives on Saturday with a victory!

IT'S CONTAGIOUS!

OTTER FEVER THAT IS! HERE ARE SOME OF THE SIGNS AROUND TOWN THAT ARE STARTING TO SHOW UP TO SUPPORT OUR OTTER FOOTBALL TEAM!

State Tournament Bound!

The Otter Football Team won their section championship game last Saturday at St. Johns University on a beautiful fall day. What a great day for football and we loved the outcome. They beat Sauk Rapids Rice 21-7. Now the Otters will take their team to the first round of the State Football Tournament on Saturday November 8th. The Otters will play St. Michael/ Albertville at 12:00 noon at St. Cloud State University. We would love to win this game and take the Otters to their first Metrodome experience. GO OTTERS!
Nick's sister, aunts, uncle and cousin were just some of the relatives that came for the game.
The guys have a great time in the huddle after the games encouraging each other in the popcorn session. We love our Otter Fans!
Nick and Josh Campion talking things over in the huddle.
Section Champs and on to State! Thanks Pam for all the pictures you took of this game!

WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS!

On Tuesday morning I was explaining to Nicholas that Lindsay was coming home tonight because a shower was being given for her at church by our friends. Nicholas replied with "How many showers does a girl have to take before she gets married??" Well, we know that he was being funny but this girl has been blessed with showering. We thought we would share a few pictures of the event! Thank you to Candis for coordinating not only the wedding but this shower! So, thank you dear friends for hosting this wonderful event. Carrie (Levang)Bjorndahl is interviewing Lindsay about Sam so everyone could hear a little bit about North Dakota man! For those of you that look at Carrie's blog....this might be the only tummy shot you get of Carrie. Little Miss Bjorndahl is due to arrive very soon!
Ruth, Brianna and Heather put together a suitcase called "SAM"S SURVIVAL KIT". It was all the items that they thought he needed to live with Lindsay. Since Ruth and Heather had been her room-mates for two years they were quite insightful!
