A Great Day Outside

We're enjoying spring break this week, and the weather is really cooperating! We enjoyed several things outside today . . . (I have to apologize for the poor quality of photos - I'm taking pictures blindly because I have no view finder left, it cracked! I'm also taking pictures with our video camera which are very grainy!)


We burned some of our grasses down -- always a family event!


The kids played Firehouse on the squeeze chute -- it's their farmyard playground!


We almost saw a new calf being born - I think we missed it by a half hour or so. By the time we got there, it was already up and moving around! I love calving season because you never know when you're going to find a new one! Chelan said there are only 8 more calves to go!


Delaney enjoyed her first ride in the swing outside! I think she liked it, at least for a little bit!

    For blindly taken pics, you did a great job! :) I love spring on the farm! Well, ok, I love spring everywhere, but on the farm it's extra special. :)

Choosing Trust Over Fear

I have struggled with writing about the shooting in Hesston - in fact, I wasn't going to post anything about it.  However, for the sake of memories, I decided I should at least touch on it.  It does deserve a place. It just hit so close to home - particularly since Doug was directly involved.  Honestly, I sometimes feel guilty for struggling with this tragedy.  I wasn't there, I didn't lose anyone close to me, and, although I know a few people who work there, I didn't know any of the victims.  And I get to move on with my life with little disruption.  I feel like I am on the outside looking in.   But I guess that's okay.  I didn't have to be directly involved for this to touch me.  My heart is sad for the families of those who died, for those who were injured, for those who witnessed it, for my brother-in-law who will probably replay images over and over, for my sister and my niece and nephew who might sometimes wonder "what if?", for th...

NCAA Division 1 Volleyball Championships

Chelan and I took Delaney to Kansas City for the championship game of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament - a birthday gift given to her in August. What a cool experience! From posing with the trophy to testing her vertical (6th place for all girls who tried!), to watching the match between Texas A&M and Kentucky, to a real life reindeer in the arena, we had a fun day!

Cousin Week

We declared last week "Cousin Week" and went to see Cale, Mace, and Ty play football.  We also watched Addi play volleyball.  Three of those events were on the same day!  I'm sure the girls feel like they have seen enough football to last a long time.  Little do they know - Caiden will be playing in 2 short years and they will have to sit through a lot more of those! We did enjoy watching each one - watching their strengths come through, watching them interact with teammates and coaches.  They are all growing up - just like our own three keep doing!  How does that happen?? Now, if only we could magically appear in California for the other cousins' sports endeavors! Addi - already an 8th grader! Ty, a 5th grader - far right Good teammate Mace, also a 5th grader - #6 Cale, an 8th grader.  #83 (white shirt)
