A New Year, A New Blog

I guess if you don't update your blog for a very long time, you will have difficulties accessing it.  So here is the link to our new blog that I can hopefully keep updated throughout this coming year.  Here are a few highlights from 2014 through August:

Kurtis & I went skiing in CO with Jennifer & Ryan

These 2 girls thought they needed to get older

We participated in the Relay for Life in memory of Aunt Myra.  Uncle Howard donated money for each bracelet the kids earned running laps.  They did awesome! 

Jaren played in the OSCI band for Tulip Time

Planting into the evening by our house.  The semi in the background is Kurtis' 2nd home between hauling crops and livestock.

Erica played softball for the first time and LOVED it!

We celebrated our 14th anniversary by taking the kids to Adventureland.

We headed to MI to help Mark & Betsy celebrate their wedding

Jaren participated in 4-H and the Southern IA Fair.  He had a leadership project advance to the State Fair this year!

Bethany & I went to our church's GEMS camp

The kids loved getting out on the boat...notice the awesome skier in the background!?!?!  (It's Kurtis if you can't tell)

We made it out camping several times.  Kate could live at the campgrounds if we'd let her.

School started back up for the oldest 3 - Jaren 6th, Erica 2nd, Bethany 4th

 

Now I'll have to get the rest of my pictures off my camera to finish out the year.
