Some mornings are just....Epic.



Some days, are just epic. Like today. We should be all sunshine & smiles today, as its the last day of school and Colton's graduating Kindergarten and let's just hold hands and frolic through the soft summer grass.....right? WRONG.

So. Apparently, I’m the worst Mom in the world, because I wouldn’t let Colton wear tall black socks 
today with his kahki shorts & polo shirt for Kindergarten Graduation. In fact, I was quite ridiculous thinking he should wear his cute summer church shoes (the canvas like ones), because…

1.)    They are too big. "When I run, they don’t even stay on … see?!" (While showing me and sobbing, simultaneously….insert BIG dramatics here, to make sure that the shoe not only comes off, but flies across the room while running)

2.)    "They give me rashes, right here. They are way too big mom. You don’t even care!!"

3.)    I never, NEVER let him do anything he wants. I don’t care about him and I never let him do anything fun. (News to me, I thought he had a good time when we went bowling, hiking, skating, to the park, on vacation, on a walk in the woods, to the creek, etc, etc, etc….)

4.)    "Mom, if I wear these shoes, I won’t even be able to play kickball at my last recess."
  I replied - "So take them off."

 "I can’t. I can’t take my shoes off. What if we have an emergency fire drill and I don’t have shoes on?!?!"

THESE ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES……

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...
