Pinterest Fail.

If you've heard of Pinterest, you know that it can be addicting. My favorite pin so far is the one that says, I wish I had the time and energy to actually do all of the things I pin. (If you haven't checked it out, and you have time to read this blog...then you should check it out. There really are some cool craft ideas/recipes/design styles, etc on there...) ANYWAY....it consistently inspires me to do something crafty.

Tonight was a crafty fail. I had the bright idea (at 7pm on my way home from getting groceries, last minute Valentine's day goodies), to have the kids use finger paint to make Jason a homemade valentine. Good idea, right? WRONG. Actually, half wrong. I suppose with a 4 year old and a 1 1/2 year old...my odds will always be 50/50 for something being successful. And honestly, they were doing so great with this craft. They really were.

Anyway...I left the room for literally 10 seconds....TEN SECONDS and this is what I returned to find.



And now, perhaps, you know why, our dear, dear beloved Emmalyn, is often referred to as...the Tazmanian Devil! ;)

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

Central Indiana Winter Spectacular

 We kicked off show season with this set of calves in mid-January at the Central Indiana Winter Spectacular, a first time show down in Cloverdale, Indiana. I'm not sure what was more fun - being with our kids and friends at a cattle show, or listening to our kids meddle over the thought of staying in a Motel 6.  (Backstory on this one -- when I worked at Purdue/in the Conference division, I held a few conference at The Hyatt in downtown Indianapolis. When I had events there, I'd earn points. We then would use those points for free night stays....I think I had maybe 15 or so over the years. So, the only hotel my kids know, is a Hyatt, because unbeknownst to them, it was FREE.....which is the ONLY reason we stayed in such a nice place with young kids. So, imagine their dismay when the Motel 6 in Cloverdale didn't have an Eagles Nest rotating up top, or an indoor pool and hot tub/workout area. We have officially raised hotel snobs.....because when we finally took them to the k...
