Why Pink: Breast Cancer Awareness Photo Session

A colleague of mine owns his own photography business and is involved in many charity organizations. One of the most notable is his work for Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign: Why Pink?. Last year he had an auction fund raising event at work and I won an auction bid for a photograpy session. The kids and I took advantage of this to have out photo taken together. I hadn't originally planned to be in the photos, but it worked out that I was. Poor Graden wasn't in the pictures since he was off fishing!

Labor Day Weekend - 2009

This year the Hansen Family visited the Ruestman's for the holiday weekend. Donna, Gretchen and the kids weren't able to make the trip, so it was kind of a quiet, low key weekend!

Hunter had a game Friday night, so we waited until Saturday morning to drive to the lake. It is about a 3 hour drive, so not too bad! We left just after 10:00 and got to the lake just after 1:00.

Our timing was great as a storm had just passed through!

The temperature has been cooler than usual, so we didn't spend as much time in the water as we ususally do! But, we sure did enjoy the company of our host and hostess!

We spent our time fishing, playing on the jet skis, riding bikes, driving the golf cart ... and great food!

Hunter had a football game on Monday afternoon, so we headed for home Monday morning!

Looking forward to our next visit to Grand Lake!

Football Season Has Started!

Thursday night was Hunter's first football game of the season! Unfortunately, it didn't go as well as the team had hoped, but ... maybe a lesson or two was learned?

They lost 57-32. Ouch.

Hunter (#59) plays offensive guard, for those who are curious! (I didn't have a clue!)

Friday night was the Varsity Team's first game; unfortunately it was a blow out as well (the Titans lost 48-13). The team had spirit though! Here they are in the 4th quarter, showing their pride:
