Eisenhower 1/2 Marathon

The Eisenhower 1/2 marathon is finally here!!! Rebecca, Laurel & Taylor, Kyle's cousin Adrianne, and I will be taking on the 1/2 tomorrow morning at 7:00 am. If you are going to be around, come cheer us on!! Kyle and his Aunt Carol are going to run the 5K, it starts at 7:30. The weather looks like it's going to be beautiful!!! You never know this time of year, past years it has rained, been cold, and windy! After the race we are going to enjoy brunch at Kyle's parents house, should be delicious! In the evening we are headed to K.C. to meet up with some old college friends. It is going to be a long day!


Our last race together, Emma Creek Classic! It's a fun 5K women's race in Hesston.

Spring Break Pt. 2 and Easter

I know I totally was going to post more about Spring Break and never got around to doing it! Maybe that was because it snowed and it didn't feel like Spring Break!!! Of course the boys didn't care because they got to play in the snow.


Saturday night we had Kyle's parents over for dinner. We had pesto stuffed pork chops, spinach salad, cherry yum yum salad, grilled vegetables, and key lime pie. It was the first time for me to make a pie from scratch. It turned out okay, but I definitely have not mastered making my own crust!

The boys loved having Grandma help them dye Easter eggs. Grandma Becker also brought along ingredients to make resurrection cookies. Each ingredient is tied in with scripture, it was really neat and helped the kids focus on the true meaning of Easter.

Reading from the Good Word!

Kolt trying to help out and of course his side kick Wrigley getting into trouble with him!






We celebrated with the five of us on Easter morning, enjoyed church, and went to Grandpa and Grandma Duerksen's house for dinner.

This looks yummy!



Hunting for some eggs, everything is a competition!




Easter was a lot of fun, we had beautiful weather and got to have our egg hunt outside this year, it's usually too cold!! The boys had a good time and Kolt figured out that he had to put the egg in his basket, although he still tried to eat the grass.
