Turkey Hunt

Joe and his brother-in-law, John, went on their annual turkey hunt.  Keenan was thrilled to be able to join them for the hunt.  Four turkeys later and they call the hunt a success.

Westward Movement

The 5th grade classes at Kira's school are getting ready for their Westward Movement presentation. As part of their presentation, each student had to make a covered wagon.  There were not a lot of requirements and the teachers encouraged the students to be creative.  Thankfully our neighbor, Karman, is good at craft projects so she was able to help Kira.  I offered a few suggestions but thankfully they ignored me.  

More Soccer = More Fun

It was as exciting as U-11 Soccer can be this past weekend.  My parents were able to visit for the weekend and really enjoyed watching Kira play.  Kira'a team, Synergy, won the tournament.  They played a good team in the semi-finals, the Kansas City Fusion.  The game went into overtime and remained tied at the conclusion of overtime.  Each team then had five penalty kicks.  After each team kicked five kicks it remained tied.  Then, sudden death and Avery Smith from our team kicked the winning goal. Synergy then won the final game against Hays.  

Keenan's First Communion

It was a special weekend for Keenan as he celebrated his First Communion at St. Thomas More.

Joe's brother, Mike, and his two boys, Tanner and Preston, traveled from Wichita to celebrate with Keenan

Joe's parents also were in town to celebrate.  Overall, it was a great day.

Easter

We hit the 9:00 a.m. full house Mass and then headed home to prepare for breakfast and an egg hunt.  

We had our neighbors join us for breakfast. Our neighbor, Karman, brought over stuff for a waffle bar which was my favorite.  We also had egg cups, also made by Karman, and I made biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs and I am still full from the good food. 

 Keenan loves breakfast food.

We were happy to finally have some nice weather and the kids could be outside most of the day.
