My brother Herman is getting married! He lives in Warsaw, Mo, but is getting married in Sedalia. Family of course came in town to see the big day. In traditional Haake fashion, we did it our way. I started off the party of weirdness when the lady at the hotel desk asked for a description … Continue reading “Herman’s Wedding – 8/31/2019”
Henry postponed moving into his new house twice for weather and this was the last straw. He was moving on Sunday cause he had the day off and some friends lined up. I was invited, but across the state. On a whim, I decided the weather stunk in St. Louis and decided to help Henry … Continue reading “Helping Henry Move – 3/2/2019”
We came into KC for the weekend because Holly and family were going to be in town. Somehow it ended up being a mini reunion with family. Its always good to see everybody. First off is a video of Holly (and Jim)’s kids, David and Lindsay. I got them to say “Kelly Clarkson” and “Welcome … Continue reading “Kansas City with Holly – 9/15/2018”
Like any good fool, I often volunteer myself for work that I don’t have to do. In this case, my brother Hiatt was talking about his house needing to be painted. I suggested that he schedule it for Labor Day weekend so we had an extra day. He of course obliged and I was not … Continue reading “Painting Hiatt’s House – 9/2/2017”
Another good unicycling month even including the family. I also caught the awards ceremony for the MR340, cheering on my friends! It wouldn’t be a little adventure with some adversity. On my ride home, the throttle cable on the motorcycle broke on the highway. It was a bit of a close call coasting to a … Continue reading “August – 2017”
Hiatt bought Kris three tickets to the Atlanta Braves game vs. the Saint Louis Cardinals. This was the weekend of the game so the two of them plus Rylan came in town. Rylan isn’t much of a sportsball fan, so he wanted to stay at my house and hang out, so I went with them … Continue reading “Hiatt and Kris in St. Louis for a Braves Game – 8/12/2017”
On their way to Disney World, Hiatt, Kris, Rylan, Michaela, and Sean stopped by our house. It had the added bonus that it put them closer to Disney and was free 🙂 While they were here, Rylan wanted something to drink, but we didn’t have much to offer. So I suggested that the kids and … Continue reading “Hiatt and Family in STL – 7/18/2017”
We made a trip to KC to drop Sonora off for the week. She wanted to spend the Independence Day holiday with her uncle and cousins. So we went in town. While we were there Henry invited Corvin and I to the shooting range with him. Corvin had only ever shot a .22 riffle and … Continue reading “Kansas City – 7/1/2017”
Hiatt, Kris, Michaela, Sean, and Rylan came to visit us on their way home from a trip. We were in their path and lucky for us, they stopped for the night. Then again, its always nice to have a free night’s lodging 🙂 For some reason, Sean likes to eat spaghetti with mustard on it, … Continue reading “Hiatt and Family Visit – 7/1/2015”
Corvin and I decided to participate in the Kawllowleen canoe and kayak race. Its a nice 11 mile race mostly on the Kansas River near Kansas City. Having family in town helps for shuttling cars before a race. My parents were not in town, but Hiatt was going to be in town. Hiatt needed some … Continue reading “Hiatt Attic and Kawoleen – 11/1/2014”
