Dakota's School Spirit

Dakota is showing his school spirit. Tattoo's to his face!
I told him he looks like a ganster then I remembered he has school pictures tomorrow!
Oh Boy!

Colton and the Lumberjacks took on Hibbing.
Hibbing played awesome if you don't count their penalties.
Cloquet lost 0-36.
Here's Colton at center.

We are deep into Football Season.

The Minnesota Vikings with little help from Bret Favre are 2-0. The Cloquet Jacks are hard at work winning another game. Colton is #42 and plays center for the offense and nose guard on defense.

GO LUMBERJACKS!

Time to dig a garden.

Duane and I prep the garden for next years growing season.

Mason and Meghan spent a short afternoon with us. They had McDonalds for lunch.

Meghan chows on french fries.

Time to cool of in the pool. Brrr it's cold!
