Fall Sports

It's been awhile since I blogged, so here we go... Catch-up time!

Makayla and Mallory completed their seasons of volleyball and cross country.  They both enjoyed their teammates and the season!

Hogrefe Hawkeye Weekend!

It was a long wait....  We hadn't been to a game in four years, and Maddy and Makayla had never been to a game.... But today was perfection!  Beautiful weather, fabulous food, a big win and great people to spend a day with!!!  How 'bout them Hawks?   I love it!  I love it!  I love it!!

13 on the 13th of 2013!!

Happy Golden Birthday to my Sweet Makayla! Our youngest daughter is now a teenager!  She brings me smiles and laughter everyday!  She always has a hug to give, baked goods to share, and a willingness to serve.  She is enjoying being in eighth grade and the friends she has made.  Hope you have a fantastic day and year my precious little girl! 

P.S.  The cow hat is a gift from Max!  :)

1st Day of School!

The day has come once again... This is the last time all four of my kids will be heading off to school together... This year they are in 1st, 8th, 10th, & 12th grades! Max was not allowing us to say the word 'school' yesterday, but today was pretty excited to go.  Prayers and support for them are always requested and we appreciate and need it! Excited to enjoy Mallory's senior year with her!  :)

Enjoy your school year kids! We love you!

More Threshermen's Photos!

It is an occasion worthy of many photos!  Sure makes us thankful for the progress made over the years in agriculture as well as all the work that goes into the show each year... Enjoy!

Threshermans!

Dad and Mom are the feature parade (Case IH) Grand Marshals this year!  There is a lot of RED equipment here!  Max just loves this weekend-could hardly wait!  He threshed and worked hard today and tomorrow is the pedal pull.  We enjoyed the buildings and the good food (homemade ice cream)!

Camping week!

So relaxing... We enjoyed our camper, the weather and a clear schedule for some downtime at Lake View.  Chad worked quite a bit, but did enjoy some bike riding as his six weeks recovery is now complete!  The kids loved thrift store shopping and swimming in Carroll also... Lots of fun!
