Fults Prairie is a wonderful place to hike that is approximately 90 minutes from our house in Illinois. Its located near the Mississippi river, but is up on the bluff area. Its been around 10 years since we were last here. Danelle and I wanted to get out of the house and the kids were … Continue reading “Fults Prairie Hike – 2/12/2022”
Sonora is taking an athletic training class. Part of that class is learning how to wrap an athlete’s foot for added strength. The only way to get better at something is to practice. So she comes home at night and wraps Danelle’s foot. She says mine smell to bad to practice on. Hogan Haake

Like nearly every month, we spend way too much time with our cats. Of course, this photo of me with Brawndo is staged. Brawndo and Coatrack playing in the kitchen. I’m not sure if he’s practicing playing dead, or just trying to block the heat vent. Danelle and I took a wonderful walk on a … Continue reading “November 2021”
Corvin and Sonora were playing in the Symphonic Orchestra tonight. Danelle and I went out to see them play. Corvin is the standing bass player on the left. Sonora plays in the front, therefore its much easier to zoom in on her.

My sister Hannah purchased her first house this year. We figured the best way to help her celebrate the new house was to invade for a holiday. So without further adieu, we set out to drive to Ottawa Kansas (about an hour south of Kansas City) for Thanksgiving. Of course we called first, but here … Continue reading “Thanksgiving At Hannah’s House – 11/25/2021”
I purchased Boy Scout Popcorn from Nathan Bueg. When it was ready, I received the call it was ready to be picked up.

Once there, I realized it was dinner time and asked if they wanted … Continue reading “Catching Up With Popcorn – 11/19/2021”
