Mikes Deer 2009

It was another great hunt in Wisconsin. We got to see friends and family, I did some shopping with Cricket and got to top off the trip when we had lunch with the Becks on the way home. Mike shot a nice buck 11pt and he wanted to share pics. I got a doe and didn't even think of a camera-even after we went and got them regisitered...GO FIGURE!

Halloween 2009

Okay I know a bit late but its been nuts. I can say they had a blast and that's what its all about

New pics

Morgan was tired and climbed into the pen at the Nebraska State Fair and her spring ewe never moved...

New pics of the kids

WOW...remember me?

Okay so I haven't been good about this. Guess I should take time once and awhile.

Kids are doing great so here is an update:

BRYAN: LOVES 4th grade-a lot more work but still has a lot of fun and loves his teacher Mrs. Foltz. I think he is ready for baseball season to arrive. He has been a big help on the farm doing chores and helping out where needed. His latest addiction...TOP GUN. Wants to be Mavrick for halloween. Anyone have a spare costume? He said when he gets older he wants to join the Navy.

MORGAN: Is excited for 2nd grade and really enjoys school. She has 1st Communion this year (March 21). We found the pattern for her dress and my Mom is going to make it. 3rd year of dance has started and she can't get enough. I know she wishes it was more than 1 day a week.

PAUL: He is in pre-k and has already learned so much. He can't wait for kindergarten to start (but I can). He is in Wisconsin right now with Mike so its been quiet. I miss those imprompt hugs I get. (hey Bryan come hug your Mom) Paul loves to be outside and would be 24 hours a day but his Mom & Dad make him do stuff like eat, take baths and go to bed. He can't wait for Tom to combine behind our barn as he said he will be in the combine with him :)

Hope all is well with you...

Pics from the fair

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Platte County Fair

The fair was a great time for our family. Next year I am taking the week of vs. trying to run back and forth. Bryan started out the week with a Reserve Grand Champion in the Favorite Foods Revue. His table was on WWII with a meal from that era. Then he got a purple on his cookies, a purple on his photgraphy, blue on his model. He made a Higgins Boat (used during WWII), red on his cake-it was a giant dounut and he had frosting dripped down the side-the judge told him his frosting ability needed improvement. I told him she just didn't get the idea that the 8" cake was a decorated dounut! He got a purple on his calf, pen of 3 broilers, purple each on his two ewe lambs-one ended up reserve grand and his calf (a dairy calf) was reserve grand. He had fun!

Morgan is still a clover kid so she got participation ribbons and took: ducks, chickens, a banner and a poster on bike safety. She can't wait till next year!!

Enjoy the pics...this weekend we are headed to Verdigree to a cabin (Mike sheers for them) Rod, Karen, Karalyn & Caralina will be joining us.
