Farming in Small Town America

Today our kids were blessed with the opportunity to see farming. In the morning all the kids took turns riding in a tractor practically in our back yard. Then in the evening Rich and Lu invited us again to see combining in action. This time involved the girls riding in the truck to the elevator including a Popsicle compliments of the Coop , the boys getting a ride in the truck to change field location, playing in the wheat and most importantly rides in the combine. Thanks for the farming day Rich and Lu!

Camping first of 2010

We enjoyed Marion Reservoir over the weekend as our fist camp trip of 2010 with several families from church. The wind died down on Friday and we had nearly perfect weather. Friday night's sunset was spectacular. Is that really a picture of Tina and I in Kansas? Kickball was the sport of the weekend. We all lined up before our last game - the three 4 year old boys had already headed off to the nearby playground.

Bethany awards for Memory verse

Kids Zone (our Wednesday night church clubs) ended last Wednesday. Bethany was honored as one of 8 kids in grades 1-6 who memorized every Bible verse in their booklets this year including the books of the Bible. We were proud!

Kinderific

Last week Abby had her end of School "Kinderiffic" music program. She of course did wonderful. such a lover of music and movement. Yellow shirt center of the frame.

Easter in Henderson

It was a gorgeous weekend in Nebraska! The kids got to take part in the community "treat" hunt (I don't think there were any actual eggs) with tons of items donated by area businesses. It's a fun tradition! We also had an egg hunt at grandpa and grandma's house with two of their second cousins. Tina helped with a bridal shower for one of her cousins that weekend too. It was so much fun to be together with extended family!

Easter in Buhler

We enjoyed celebrating Easter early in Buhler with Grandpa and Grandma Yutzy and very special guest, Auntie De! What a blessing to celebrate our risen King!

March Highlights

The month of March was a whirlwind! Mike ended his work at Dean and Deluca and started his new job in Hutchinson at Data Center Inc. on March 15. The same day, Tina met her mom half way with the kids and they stayed with grandpa and grandma the whole week of Spring Break, without mommy!! We worked our tails off to get the house ready to put on the market. We do have a contract on a home in Buhler and will be closing June 1st.

When Bethany got back it was birthday time!! It is hard to believe we have an 8 year old! She wanted a rainbow themed birthday with some friends from school. After a couple of hours at Pure Entertainment we partied back at our house. We also celebrated with the Doells at Pizza Hut and ON her birthday we celebrated with the Yutzys. Grandma pulled out all the stops with this beach party!!

Other February updates

This last month has flown by. We had a valentines double date with friends (desert at our house afterwards). The boys are finding the joy of doing manly things. The girls had a crazy hair day at school. And we discovered that with enough Geotrax 6 boys can play at once and all have fun.

*The most recent update doesn't involve a picture. I'll be starting a new job in 3 weeks. That job is in Hutch and quite an amazing story. We're planning to move to Buhler in the summer and are excited for the new season of life that represents.

Bethany's Music Program

Bethany's Second grade class did a Valentines music program in early February. The best part, of course, was ice cream with G&G afterwards.
