Piggy Plum Pie!

The past couple of years at church, we have had a "Hee Haw" fundraiser for the youth. This year Kade, along with his cousins Jenna and Leah performed a song called "Piggy Plum Pie." I have to say it's a catchy little tune; the kind that stays in your head and never leaves. Nonetheless, they did a fantastic job; one of the best acts of the night.

Kade's Last T-Ball Season!

This past year was Kade's last year to be in t-ball. Next year he moves up to the pitching machine and will hopefully have the opportunity to make All-Stars. This year though, Dane and Cody coached the team once again. They did a fantastic job with that group of young ball players. They were the "Blue Claws" this season. About halfway through the year, the coaches started pitching to them instead of hitting off of the tee to better prepare them for the next level up. Kade really enjoys playing baseball. I think it is a sport he could really excel at if he keeps at it. He has also made so many memories and friends in such a short period of time; I can only imagine the stories he will have to tell in the years to come.

Kade's Kindergarten Graduation!

Kade reached another milestone this past May. He graduated from kindergarten and will be a first grader next school year. Kade had a blast this school year with Mrs. Sommerfeld. He is really going to miss her, but is ready for a new challenge. Kade continues to impress and make us so very proud of him. He is one smart little guy that is for sure. He will be my child that I will not have to worry about grades with. He catches onto things very quickly and really enjoys going to school and learning. I sure hope it stays that way.

A Little Family Gardening!

One fond childhood memory that Dane and I both have it planting and picking a vegetable garden at our grandparent's houses as kids. So it was a mutual agreement that when we got married we would carry on the tradition of having a vegetable garden every spring and fall season. We have held true to our commitment; so much so that our garden grows a little larger each year. We have even added another garden to the mix. Now we have two big gardens to maintain, but we love it and the kids love picking it. I hope our kids will have the same fond memories as adults that Dane and I both do.

Our Big Catch!

Dane and the two oldest boys decided to head down to the tank one afternoon to see if they could catch some catfish out of the tank before it started getting too hot and dry during the summer. I think they had a successful catch.
