Oops!

Ted and I down to no cars within a 24 hour period. His car has a head gasket problem that needs to be fixed and is as we speak. Then this morning, I hit a boulder that I did not see and did damage to the underside of the van. I won't know the extent of it until tomorrow.

Please say a little prayer for us. We need it right now.

Dedication of the Stations of the Cross

On Sunday, our church blessed the new stations of the cross. They are beautiful!! We took the kids because this could be a once and a lifetime event. Not everyday the children get to witness the hard work of preparing and building of a new church.

The Weekend on the Farm!

Jake, Becca, and Uncle Eric watching Uncle Sam milk the cows!
Sara giving free rides!

Alli's favorite cow (#55). It has a black and white head, with a brown body, and black legs!



We spent Saturday and Sunday helping Sam and Laci on their farm. We all had a good time especially the kids. Jake spent the night there and set his alarm clock for 5:30 AM to help with chores. He got up and off he went! They all enjoyed feeding the calf's, watching the milking process, and riding on the four wheeler! We were all exhausted and dirty when we were done but that doesn't matter when you are having fun!

Our New Nephew!

Getting on the bus!

Lexi is in 3rd grade this year. She is in a "team classroom". This team consists of 2 teachers with roughly 50 students in grades 3rd and 4th! She is very excited to be in this type of class. These teachers are awesome and do wonderful things with the students.


Jake is in 1st grade. He has the same teacher as Lexi did. She is great and Jake will make great strides in his academic progress this year.


Allison's first day is on Monday. I will post pictures of her then!
