The boys just keep eating and growing...

After I got the hang of this again, here I go...
The pictures are from Easter, Mother's Day, and a causal "snack" one day.
Wanted to do a quick update on the kids, isn't that why we do this type of thing? Casey turns 6 next week(we celebrated an early party at C-E-Cheese with a soccer ball cake that I made-who would've thought?) and Adam is 4 1/2, going on 12. We just finished up a spring soccer season, with mom being the coach--lots of fun and it just proves you don't have to know very much to get by, especially for 4-5 year olds. We are so excited to see summer where we can stay home each day, the boys definetly get tired of going places during the week. Our trucking business, Ag Express, is doing super well, with minor setbacks at the ethanol plant which causes frustration and stress. The crops are in the field...will let you know how they fair after the storm came through. We will be traveling a bit this summer for a wedding in North Dakota and Billings, MT and then rounding out the summer at "the ranch" in Buena Vista, CO. It is the dude ranch where I worked in college and where the boys and I can currently go to "Be a Cowboy". We'll keep you updated more and I promise I will send pics.

We survived a tornado

I know that it has been a very long time since I posted to this acct, but now I'm back in action--Watch out!
Here are some photos of what occured at our house following the tornado that blew through on Thursday. We all were home for lunch, my friend Teresa called from Greeley to say that a tornado was coming through between Fort Collins and Wellington (that's us) so we took cover in the basement living room, there are no windows there, just a patio door where Brian could watch from behind the couch. He could tell you everything that he saw, but I know he saw the trees bending back and forth repeatly. I was holding both boys on my lap with a big blanket over our bodies, we decided that we were "kinda camping." After a little while, we checked out the damage and saw 2 trees totally sideways outside the patio door, not much else was different, until we went upstairs to check out the larger area. The tornado had picked up a stack of gated pipe and tossed it about and strewn all over the yard, along with a bbq grill, ride-on toys, and lots of pieces of roof shingles, and tree branches. With that being said, we are very fortunate that nothing more was done to us or our house and the damage was very minimal compared to others nearby. Thank you God for saving and protecting us!!
