Digging Potatoes!

A couple of weeks ago, Dane took the boys out to the garden to dig potatoes. That is something they all love to do each year. The potatoes were the first of many tasty veggies out of our garden.

Two More Pigs Down!

Last time we checked our pig trap, we had two more and three happy little boys.

Kade went out to the barn the other day to check if the chickens had laid any eggs. The next thing we know he is running out yelling "Snake. There's a snake in the barn." Dane got his gun and had Kade show him where it was. It ended up being about a five foot long chicken snake. That night Dane and the boys went down to the tank snake hunting and ended up shooting two there. I am sure those are the first of many we will see over the summer.

Independence Cook-off!

Dane, Cody Stelter, and Grant Lischka entered the Independence cook-off back on April 21st. Besides having a great time hanging out and cooking, the guys ended up with 2nd place ribs and 3rd place chicken. Now if they could just figure out how to that brisket juicy and tender.

Happy Birthday Brady & Nate!

Back on April 14th, we celebrated Brady's 5th and Nate's 2nd birthday at our house. Brady wanted a baseball theme for his party this year, so that is what we went with. We celebrated the day with wonderful family and great friends. We served burgers, chips and appetizers for the meal. The boys each invited some of their friends they went to St. Paul's with, and I have to say they had a blast. Happy Birthday my wonderful boys! We love you so very much and look forward to so many more birthday parties in the future.
