We packed up and headed to Kansas City for Christmas this year. We’ve gotten worse at planning, but my parents didn’t mind the last minute surprise. I texted my dad this photo right before we came in the front door. Did I mention the weather seemed extra warm? As an added bonus, Herman came in … Continue reading “Christmas in Kansas City – 12/25/2021”

While I spent lots of time outside, Danelle was busy working on one of her jeans quilts. This … Continue reading “October – 2021”
Both the kids were going to the Friendship Dance this year. Neither had dates and were just going with their friends to hang out. Here is a quick glimpse into their night. First Corvin spent some time getting ready and didn’t want to get his fancy clothes dirty while he was preparing. Sonora and her … Continue reading “Friendship Dance – 10/8/2021”

Brad and I got a warm up ride in before the Adventure Palooza. We find out what Brawndo would look like with lady’s hair. Poor cat can’t get away from us! Hogan Haake
August has come and gone. Some of our random stuff. Corvin Sonora Kids being silly! I met another unicyclist on Grant’s Trail! I walked from my house downtown to the arch. Was a 14 some mile day 🙂 We met Laura downtown for dinner. And sorry to disappoint, but no cat photos!
