Thankful Thursday

 I'm so thankful Kent and Kael had fun at the concert they went to on Tuesday. It was a birthday gift for Kael and they just had the best time. 

I'm thankful tonight Kylee gets to run at the State Track Meet! It's been such an amazing sophomore season for her. 

I'm thankful that school is almost over for the summer! Have a great weekend. 

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday night we celebrated Cindy for her birthday/Mother's Day and her and Keith's 45th anniversary.  Such a great night with the fam. We had a fun time at Backpocket!

Meanwhile Kase had been invited to a last minute birthday party so we let him go have fun with his friends. Kylee and Garrett had stopped by for a bit with us then went on to the mall and meanwhile, Kael was at the Conference track meet in Lincoln! He had a great weekend throwing both hammer and discus and even PR'd! I'm SO, so proud of that buddy and so very happy for him. 

Saturday and Sunday Kase had baseball.  He pitched well and it was an absolutely beautiful weekend for baseball.  The team went 3-2 and fell just short of being champions. 

Kylee had a busy weekend with grad parties and a late night babysitting and also fitting in a swim workout so imagine my surprise to wake up Sunday morning to see she had left me the nicest Mother's Day note! She's so thoughtful and it was a great start to my day. She spent the day at grad parties then with Garrett at his pool. Kent, Kase and I left town early for baseball. Kael packed himself up and headed home! What a successful first year for him at college.  It was so great getting home from baseball to see him and he had unpacked all of his things- so responsible! I'm really excited to have him home for the summer. 

We had our annual Mother's Day dinner out on Sunday evening.  This is such a special tradition and I'm thankful each year that we can make it work! So proud to call these lovey ladies Mom/sister/daughter/niece!

My girl. 

The girls with Grandpa Terry. 

Biaggi's!

Cute cousins.

We had such a nice, leisurely dinner!

Meanwhile, the boys went out for dinner and sounds like they had a great time together too. 

Brothers! I think Kase will be happy to have Kael home for the summer too.

Right before I had left for dinner Kent surprised me with a very thoughtful gift and was thrilled we had even five minutes with all of us together on Mother's Day so he could tell me about it with everyone present.  Man I just love my family so much!

Thankful Thursday

 I'm thankful Kase got along ok with a little medical procedure yesterday.  He honestly handled it way better than I thought he would!

I'm thankful Kael is moving home this weekend! So excited to have him here for the summer!

I'm thankful Kylee gets the opportunity to run at the State Qualifier tonight- go Jags!

Weekend Wrap-Uo

Thursday night Kylee had great support at the Conference meet! She and her 4x800 team were Conference Champs! 

 

She wasn't thrilled with her individual performance but I still hope she can be proud of how awesome the season has been so far!

Friday Kent went to watch Kael throw at Wartburg and they had the best day.  It was beautiful out and Kael threw well! So proud of him and so thankful that Kent has a job that allows him the freedom to have the day off to go support Kael!

After an appointment and lunch with Kylee, I had the afternoon free so I went to my parents' house to take a walk with them and look for mushrooms!

I found one!

Loved getting to spend time with them and it was such a nice day walking out in their backyard.

That evening we had kind of a lazy night- we hadn't been certain of our plans because we didn't know what time Kent was getting home and Kase had a haircut and Kylee's plans were up in the air- in the end we grilled out here, Kase went fishing then played FortNite with friends and Kylee had a friend over after track.  

Saturday we woke up to lots of rain and found out Kase's games were delayed.  Kylee was volunteering with a group of track girls to sell apparel at the Middle School meet and Kase had a lazy morning.  Kent and I went for a walk and got a few things done around the house. Kent and Kylee then went out for lunch while Kase played with friends.  So glad they had some time together.  Then she went to the gym then hung out with Garrett and went to dinner with him and his family.  We headed to the ballfields and Kase had two games.  He played SO well.  He went 5 for 6 and had some big hits, lots of great plays and pitched really well.  So happy for him- he got two MVP nominations! He also had fun goofing around with some guys from other teams he has played with before.  The team went 1-1 on the day but there's nothing better than seeing a happy, energetic Kase.  I am also so thankful for his friend's mom who loves to take a TON of pictures- she got some great ones she shared with me!

Sunday we had an early game.  Not our best, by far.  The other team's first batter hit a home run off one of our best pitchers and then it was kind of just downhill from there.  But Kase was a true leader- cheering everyone on and just being the best version of himself and again, joking around with buddies from the other team.  Kylee went to church with Garrett then they met us out for brunch between games. Later she went to a grad party and Kent and I had one to stop by also.  Then we went back to the fields for another game and we won which was a fun way to end the tournament. That evening Kylee played sand volleyball with friends then had a sleepover and Kase also slept over at a friend's so Kent and I had the night free! We went for a quick date night dinner out- it was such a nice surprise having our evening free like that!

Monday was a no school day.  (It was also my mom's birthday and we left her a fun surprise at hear house!) Kylee went to brunch with her friends and Kase played with friends around here.  They rode to Orange Leaf, played wiffle ball.  The best day. Then Kent took him to the pond and they had a nice afternoon fishing.  Kylee had PT and track then hung out with Garrett. 

Have a great week!

Thankful Thursday

 I'm thankful Kylee got selected to be in National Honor Society! The application process was a lot of work but truly there is no one more deserving than her to be a part of this elite group.  Way to go, Kylee! 

I'm thankful for getting a lot accomplished this week. It feels good to stay busy.  Mowing the yard, planting the flowers- it's been a great week.

I'm thankful for a full and fun weekend ahead! 

I'm thankful Kael will be home from school soon.  How can it be that he's finished his first year of college already?! Looking forward to spending time with him this summer.

Have a great weekend!
