Fall break 2015

We seem to have started a new Fall Break tradition of heading down to Velpen and Stinson's. It's a great opportunity for Jason to hunt with his BFF from high school, I get to hang with said BFF's AMAZING wife, and the kids play well together. It's a great little retreat, but always goes WAY too fast! Here are a few photo highlights of the fun we had....

Oh, first of all...I've been trying to figure out this rash I've had. Remember I mentioned Jason and I starting a new high fat/low carb diet. Ya....I think we found out I'm allergic to coconut oil (or that my body doesn't like to ingest too much of it at once)...so I'd break out. Well, when it wouldn't go away, I went to urgent care. They first told me I had impitigo and I felt dirty. Then the test results came back, and apparently I had MRSA. EVEN. DIRTIER. Ugh....alas. So I was on an antibiotic and prednisone and I finally started to clear up and was feeling LESS like a leper............until we arrived in Stinsonville.
They're lucky I have a good sense of humor! HA :)
Keaton got some shooting lessons from the local game warden.


 The kids had a ball playing together...it was gorgeous Indian Summer weather!
 I got to see this chick....in her new "neck of the woods"...that made my heart happy.
 This made my heart MELT. Dad of the year! :)
 Then he got weird on the car ride home. What? Doesn't everyone lay on the "bench" while pumping gas and make a phone call?
 When we got home, Jason went hunting, and the kids hunted in the yard.....I'm afraid they've all been bit by the camo bug!
 And this one...ya, we're still mid-potty training that little tooshy! :) I know someday you'll hate me for this Keaton, but seriously...how do you NOT take a picture of that cuteness?

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...
