Weekend Wrap-Up

 It's been a busy few days around here!

Kylee ran at the District Meet on Thursday and had a season best time! Their 4x800 team won and punched their ticket for State! Love this picture of all the distance girls cheering her on.

I was so happy I was there to watch her! 

Proud of our girl.  It was hot, windy and had been a long bus ride (the meet was in Council Bluffs) and she did awesome!

I got home and Kent was having a blast with the boys playing pepper and football in the front yard until the sunset. Love seeing my boys all have fun together.

Friday was Sean's last day of school so they took a cute front porch pic.

Kael and Emma spent the weekend at the lake with my parents.  It was chilly and windy but they had a great time and found plenty of ways to stayed entertained since they couldn't be out on the water.  Kael and Emma loved spending time with Ama and GT so thanks guys for everything for them!!

Buddy Holly crash site.

They took a trip to the pond and caught some fish!

And got ice cream of course!

Kael got a hook in his thumb and Emma took good care of him. 

Cuties!

Kase had a tournament and played great all weekend!

He even hit a home run! The farthest ball he's ever hit!!! So happy for him. Just love seeing him having fun.

Sunday Kase had more baseball and it was nice we didn't have the 8:00 game! We lost but it was fun that Keith, Cindy, Kellen, Krue, Kylee and Sean were all there to cheer the boys on. Kylee and Sean hit a few grad parties, laid out and later Kylee and I had a meeting to go to for a potential upcoming school trip for her. Can't believe we're heading into the last week of school! Bring on summer! 

Thankful Thrursday

I'm thankful Kael is home! He just brings a different dynamic to the house and family and I love it.

I'm thankful for the beautiful weather we've been having.

I'm thankful my parents' boats are in the water and ready for a fun summer at Clear Lake!

Happy Thursday! 

Weekend Wrap-Up

 Wednesday night Kylee and I went to support Sean at his college signing- super proud of him!

Thursday Sean and his fam and my parents and Kent and I all went to support Kylee at the conference meet!

Kylee and KK have been friends since they were very young- fun to see them out on the track together!

Friday we went to Simpson to watch Kael at his conference meet! So proud of this guy!!!

Saturday Kase had baseball so I watched his first game and a half then headed back to Simpson to watch Kael throw hammer.  My parents and Emma and her dad all came to cheer him on!

That afternoon Kent and Kase went to the Hawkeye baseball game with some friends.  Kylee and Sean went out for dinner with his family. 

That night Kent, Kase and I went fishing for a little while.  It was a gorgeous night. 

Sunday we were back to the ball fields.  I woke up to a very sweet note from Kylee and Sean. Kase's team lost. He was sad.  We came home and Kael got home! We helped him unpack and all five of us had lunch together then went for ice cream.  It was sweet to all be together for that on Mother's Day.  Then Kylee went to her boyfriends to lay out and Kent took the boys to the pond.  I enjoyed having the house to myself to organize Kael's college things and clean and do laundry. Later Kylee and I went out for our annual Mother's Day dinner with my mom, sisters and nieces.  Such a lovely tradition. It was a great night with the girls and I was happy my boys were out having fun too.

Thankful Thursday

 \I'm thankful for a fun day with Kylee on Tuesday visiting Iowa! Crazy to think we are starting the college process with her.  But it was a beautiful day, she loved it and I enjoyed spending time with her.

I'm so thankful for the pond. I'm thankful Kent makes time to make it a priority to get up there.  I'm thankful for how happy Kase is when he's there.  I'm thankful my dad could go along.  I'm ready for summer so we can have more time to spend there!

Weekend Wrap-Up

 Thursday night Kylee had a track meet in Mason City.  Her boyfriend went with me to watch her run- it was a cold, rainy night but we were happy to be there to support her.

Friday Kael had a meet at Wartburg and PR'd in both hammer and discus! I was so happy for him and thrilled that Kent and I were both able to be there to watch him.  Then Kael rode back to Pella with us so he could get there in time for his Pans concert.  Kase and Kylee came down with my parents and Kael's girlfriend met us there. 

She had never been to Tulip Time so we had fun showing her around a little before the concert!

Always so fun running into family when we are in Pella!

Emma trying her first poffertjes- she loved them!

Kylee and Emma both got to Dutch Dance! Thanks to Alaina for having them join her!

There's Kael behind us- so cool he got to perform on the Tulip Tower!

We love Kael!

So many of us there to support him!

And he did awesome!

Saturday and Sunday Kase subbed for his Scrapper friends.  He pitched great and even had the game tying hit and went on to score for the win!

Saturday night we had Kent's big Rotary event.  He is president this year and I'm so proud of him and was so happy to be there to support him.  He has put a lot of hard work in and it was a really great night. Meanwhile, Kase watched my nephew play baseball then went for ice cream with friends and Kylee was hanging out with her boyfriend.

Sunday we had my niece's confirmation.  So proud of her and we had a really nice day hanging out with the fam. 

Kase spent the afternoon playing with friends, Kent mowed then he and Kylee went to look for mushrooms at my parents house and found some!

So fun.  It has sure been a full, busy few days around here!

Thankful Thursday

I'm thankful for the lovely weather we've had this week.

I'm thankful Kase gets to sub with some friends on their baseball team this weekend. Also thankful he had a great practice the other night and loves his new glove!

I'm thankful for a randomly free Tuesday night for Kent and I to enjoy some time together. 

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

Happy Thursday!
