Modern Day Knights

Didn't know they existed did you? Perhaps you thought about it and then decided, no way, not now days... Knights were way back...

I'm here to tell you that your doubts are unfounded and to simply say, they really do exist...I would know, because three of them live right under the same roof I do! No, they don't have the same shiny armor that the knights of long ago had but their armor is the padded kind that keeps them from any "breakage" of the bones.

Their helmets aren't metal but they are big and bulky with a helpful face "cage" around the front to prevent their faces from getting smashed! They also must protect their teeth from being "knocked out" by slipping a nifty mouth guard in before the "fight".

That's not all folks, their shoes... With little spikes aid them in "holding their ground". There are no "fair maidens" to rescue but there sure are plenty of them standing on the sidelines watching the fray and cheering their champions on to victory.

Yes, the battles these knights must face are treacherous. Imagine having an item that half a dozen other "knights" wish to possess... My modern day Knights can run faster than a speeding bullet, so who needs horses?!

I am proud of my hero knights... They are so strong, bold and handsome. So fearless in the midst of the fray. I am proud to cheer them on to victory and am glad to see them fight their hardest no matter the outcome. All three of these brave Knights have won victories on the field of battle experiencing the satisfaction of defeating an "enemy".

What sort of "WAR" do these "knights" wage? FOOTBALL! Come see them "fight" sometime, it is a glorious event to behold!

I mustn't fail to mention some other important figures. Dad and Katherine record all the stats for both teams and Brenton and Benjamin do a mighty fine job at keeping the "Knights" hydrated! (Look for the following numbers in the pics...Brandon #3, Anthony #22 and Jonathan #2.)

Enjoy! Because as I always say, you never know when another post will come.

Update

Just a quick update on the Huber happenings...
Last week we enjoyed the pleasure of a visit from our dear friend, Sally Parish. We all had so much fun with her whether it was chatting, cooking, making cards, sewing, dancing, story telling, reading and the list is unending. Our only complaint was that her visit, though a week long, was far too short! We love you Sally and can't wait until "next time".

Brandon had his first football game of the season last Saturday and was overjoyed that it was a Victory! Brandon made us all proud by scoring the last touchdown of the game. It was fun to see him play and we look forward to many more games ahead.
Anthony and Jonathan have a game coming up this week so the action is never ending :)

Speech class is this Friday so everyone is franticly trying to finish up preparations (or begin them in my case)! We all had to choose an American "hero" and must present a 3-5 minute speech on their lives. It has been fun to see what everyone has come up with...Now we shall wait and see the end result this weekend!

Hopefully we will get some pictures of Sally's visit and the football game developed soon so you can visually see what fun we've been having but for now that's it folks.
