So much catching up

Haven't blogged in sooooo long! Sorry we have been busy. In August we competed at the fair and had to say goodbye to Rusty and Shadow, which was not easy!! Yes there were tears, by all of us!! Kaleb continues to ask if we can pray for Shadow, "that she is having a good time where she's at!" The night before she was sold he told me "I prayed all night that Shadow wouldn't get cut up in to pieces!" Ah, broke my heart! Beccy and I thought the saddest part was that they wouldn't be together anymore!! They were like sisters, always looking for each other and wanting to be where the other was at! Some last pictures with the heifers!




Some random photos of the boys and playing outside, which is Kolt's and Kyson's favorite thing to do....



This was a the farm where we kept our cows. The boys were always finding something to do.


And finally......Our trip to KC to take in a Royals game (it was fun run so the kids got to actually go on the field and run the bases) and celebrate Kaleb's birthday at Fritz's. It is a cool little restaurant that brings your order out by a little train, fun stuff.












Our Food!!

Fw: Fair

It's fair week! We are out with the cows and trying to keep cool. Kaleb shows Wrigley this afternoon and his Lego project and the cows are tomorrow.

Lots of catching up

I got a lot of catching up to do for the summer! The month of July is very busy for us. We celebrated Kaleb's 7th birthday and Kolt's 1st birthday this month as well as Kyle and I's 10th anniversary! Can't believe any of us are as old as we are! Kaleb is really in to dinosaurs so he chose a volcano cake which Grandma Becker constructed and Kolt loves any kind of ball so we did a baseball cake for him. Kaleb's cake even smoked, compliments of some dry ice. We all had a good time!

10 years!

Figuring it out

Finally figuring this phone out! Here are some pics from our last night of T-ball and coach pitch.

Yson's last T-ball game and Kaleb's last coach pitch game is tonight. We also have two big birthdays coming up!

Okay this is my first time to blog from my phone. We will have to see how it works! We've been having a super busy summer as everyone else. Last night was K

Where has the time gone?!

We have been entirely too busy, youth soccer, fishing, track meet, running, the list could go on as I am sure it could for you as well!! It is that time of year, the school year starts winding down and coming to a close, so the new summer activities can start. I don't talk much about my job, but I do enjoy it. Sure it is stressful at times, but it feels good to know that I am making a difference. I am lucky and so thankful to have the job I have and be able to spend summers and breaks at home with my own children. I am ready to be at home with them. Only 22 days until school is out, wahoo!! Happy Teacher Appreciation to all my teacher friends!
Optimist's Track Meet. The boys had a great time! Looks like we may have some future runners, at least I am hoping so!




3V3 soccer Kyson was finally old enough to play!! Kaleb played with Matigan on his team!


We enjoyed a visit from Aunt Laurel and Uncle Taylor, who also ran the 1/2 marathon with us, yes I did finish and beat my goal, I just never got around to blogging about it!

It was fun, we had great weather! A couple weeks later I ran in a 5K women's race in Hesston with some friends and had a good time! Next race for us is Boulder Bolder on Memorial Day. We are going to make a weekend vacation of it. I can't wait!

The evening of the 1/2 marathon we drove to KC to visit Kyle's old college/basketball buddies. Here are all of the kids so far...CJ and Nicole are expecting another in a few weeks!! Matt and Kathy flew in from Florida and we got to meet there little one for the first time. It was nice to catch up and the kids had a good time playing thanks to CJ and Nicole for hosting at their new house!



Beautiful day what do you do? Go fishing with papa and grandma B.!! No luck with fish, but Kaleb took home a huge bull frog tadpole that his kindergarten class is enjoying watch develop! The pond was like a mirror, so neat! Reminds me of George Strait's song "I Saw God Today." Truly one of his works, I read a book about how God communicates with you even in his creations, this was one of his moments with me.
Psalm 145:3 Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
his greatness no one can fathom.
