Let it Snow!

Our backyard this winter is different than our old one, but the pond is beautiful frozen over with snow and reminds me of our country life.

Kaleb 7th Grade Band Christmas Concert

Blake & Braden's Elementary Christmas Concert

Blake's last elementary Christmas concert!  

He got the role of Kermit the Frog and also being a reporter.

Broadway Musical was a hit!

You put on a great show boys!

Love to watch you sing and dance as you smile and enjoy yourself!

My handsome boys!

Proud of you both!

Always my favorite part of the program...Silent Night/Peace, Peace.

A Hesston tradition that has been happening even since I was in it.

Still brings tears to my eyes when the entire gym is singing together.

WSU vs. OU Basketball Game

What a fun day....incredible experience for the boys!
So proud of them on the road trip...so good, so relaxing.
Dressed in WSU gear...
Private suite, endless food/drinks, comfy chairs, great view, courtside giving high 5's to the players, what else could a boy ask for? I haven't seen the boys smile/be so excited like that in awhile!
The game was close and exciting the whole way, the atmosphere so fun!
The boys kept saying "We are VIP"....makes my heart happy to make them feel special, but I reminded them they are VIP EVERY Day.
Go Shockers!

Elfie is Back!

My Boys...My Heart

Momma was excited to get this made...boys were excited to dip their hands in paint!

Santa Videos

It's December 1 and Santa has sent his first video of the season!
Be sure to "Listen to your mom, and get along with your brothers!"

Skyping with Uncle Derek

The time is getting near for Uncle Derek's Christmas visit home!
The boys love to Skype with Uncle Derek all the way across the world!
They think it is so funny that we are getting ready to go to bed and he is just waking up with the sun!

My Birthday Tailgate

Our Hesston High School Swather Football team made it to the state championship this year and it was played in Hutch on my birthday!  I couldn't have asked for a better birthday party...a huge tailgate, with a lot of my friends and family!  Although we lost in overtime, the season was a phenomenal one!  So proud of our cousins #44 Parker Roth and #33 Kitt Regier. It was a beautiful day!

Driving Lesson

Decorating for Christmas

My favorite...decorating for Christmas...and extra fun this year deciding where things will go in our new house!  We were able to get a VERY tall Christmas tree this year with our new vaulted ceilings!
The banister rail being covered in garland and lights, the mantle, and displaying the nativity set my Grandma Dreier made for me in 1990 were a few of my favorite parts. Even managed to make teacher gifts and help Kaleb rearrange his room after his big, Black Friday purchase (TV).  Apfel Kuchen being made...smells like Christmas!  Grandma Judy has the church lighting the driveway!
