Korin Turns 8!

Korin turns 8 today! September 26th! Vanessa had her birthday party on Saturday September 24th.

Her theme this year was leopard print. 

Vanessa found some leopard balloons!

Vanessa had her party at 10AM Saturday. Korin had friends over for the night Friday night then they were already there for the party! (At least some of them.)

Kashton being the supportive brother wearing his own personalized "leopard" shirt that a friend of Vanessa's made for him.

Vanessa rented a bounce house for the party which was a big hit.

And there was a trampoline to jump on too!

Vanessa and her youngest brother Jacob and fiance Aylissa.

People, people everywhere!

And there were more in the house!

Vanessa and Korin.

Korin engaging with some of her guests.

Korin wanted a cake in the shape of a leopard but she didn't tell Mommy until 2 days before the party! so this is what Vanessa came up with.

Korin wanted to read each of her cards.

Korin had a great birthday party

Have a good one!

 

First Home Game 09-09-2022

Kennedy is on the cheer squad at our local private school. Kennedy and Kashton are on the Spirit Squad.

This video is from the pep rally. Kennedy is in the neon yellow shirt. Since the school was started in 1982 the theme of the day was the "80's".

This is Kashton during the national anthem.

Here is a video of Korin cheering with the Spirit Squad. She is on the second row in the middle.

Click here to see the video of the cheer squad performing at halftime. Each cheer leader was introduced in alphabetical order so Kennedy was first. I wasn't quick enough getting the video on and missed Kennedy being announced.

Community Christian School plays 6-man football. The other private school they played was predicted to beat CCS 45 to 0. Well, they were surprised! Final score was 74 - 65 CCS!

We also got to watch a full moon rise during the game!

It was a fun evening!

Have a good one!

Finding an Owl 09-01-2022

Friday evening September 2nd I was feeding the horses. The sunset was stunning. Here are a few pictures showing the evolution.

First photo I took.

The second photo I took.

Third photo I took.

Fourth photo I took.

The last photo.

I heard owls "hooting". Once I was through feeding horses, I went to see if I could find them or at least record their "hoots". If you want to follow me on my hunt click the video below.

Hope you enjoyed that. I sure did!

Have a good one!

Finally Got Ole' Blue Back 8-24-2022

Wednesday August 24, I finally get my truck out of the shop! It's been 2 months and 10 days since the
accident June 14th! 

I told you that Keannon was letting me drive his pickup. Yesterday he asked for it back as he got called out for insurance adjusting in Iowa leaving today. I drove Doyle's truck to work and the body shop called me after lunch to tell me I could come get it. Great timing!

Vast improvement from this wouldn't you say?!

I am so happy to have it back!

Have a good one!

Day Before Remi Leaves 7-30-2022

 The day before Remi goes home I went to the kids to visit. Korin was at a neighbors playing but the other
three posed for me.

The time with Remi went by too fast!

Have a good one!

Dressed up for a Wedding 7-2-2022

 The kids (except Korin) went to a wedding of a family friend on July 2nd. 

Remi sent me this picture. I'm not sure when it was taken.

Lots of beauty right here!

Nice family photo (minus Korin). The groom is in the military so Kashton thought his army uniform was perfect attire!

Keannon and Kashton.

Handsome couple!

The mother of the bride has on the white hat. She is my best friend. The bride (her daughter, Olivia) was adopted when she was 4 years old. The girl in black is her biological sister who Teresa also adopted. Teresa's other children are Leslie (in yellow holding her son) and her brother, Preston is in the back with facial hair.

Have a good one!

Working at Jesse's 7-21-2022

While Remi was here this summer she helped at the Restaurant. We ate there one day while both girls were working.

Remi greeted us and took our order.

The next day the kids got snowcones at Funky Monkey!

Have a good one.
