February Update

February has gone by in a blink -- we've been keeping plenty busy! Poor Colton's 7th birthday gift was another "date day" with Mom & Dad, and we haven't even gotten to go on that date yet....our weekends have been too packed!

The first weekend of the month Jason was involved in a coyote hunting contest and gone pretty much all weekend. We had a playdate with Emery & Abby and kept Reid for Lindsay while she worked.  I ended up winning tickets to the Brad Paisley concert at Purdue and had a girls night out with Nat. And last but not least, Lucy, our newest niece was baptized!!Oh, and Keaton was his typical crazy self, and the big kids did a post-Keaton-bedtime craft for Valentines day!





And that was just the first weekend! :) The second weekend we hung around home, then Jason and I had a date night to see The Flying Toasters with a big group of friends. FUN Valentines Day! Sunday we spent most of the day with my parents at church/breakfast (getting the kids back from them) and then Colton and I had a date to the Purdue game!







Then it kind of all went downhill.....with Emmalyn getting sick, and Keaton breaking his collarbone, and Emmalyn going through a phase where she doesn't want to go to school.....you know. #lifehappens


But hey -- by Friday, Colton spent the night with Wyatt for his very first sleepover at a friends house, and he did GREAT. Emmalyn, Keaton, Daddy & I had a fishsticks and Frozen party. Only after Emmalyn helped Dad with cattle chores........................or napped in his truck!



You kids certainly keep us on our toes. Thank you for the smiles, chaos, and most of all, LOVE. We wouldn't be anything if it weren't for you!

    Don't you love how fast the month can go when trying to squeeze one special date in on a weekend? And what's this little blurp about a broken bone? I hope he heals quickly!

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...
