Awana Quizzing....

On Saturday,
Caleb was involved in his first 
bible quizzing.
He had a fun time doing it.
He did it with his T&T 
Awana group.
They pick kids that are far enough
along in their book
so they can quiz on the whole book.
They have been practicing a lot during Awana.
They did three different kinds of quizzing:
Paddle,  written, and speed.
They were very serious about not taking 
pictures during the quizzing.
Two of the leader got into an argument about it.
Not sure what it matters if you take picture or not.
I got some pics while they were 
doing practice questions.

Awana Grand Prix...

A few weeks ago,
Caleb was in the Awana Grand Prix.
He did this last year and had so much fun.
Gabe could also do it this year,
but he does soccer Saturday morning
so he wanted to play soccer instead.
It turns out he could have made a car
because they forgot to tell the soccer leader
that the school gym was taken for the day
so we didn't have soccer.
Instead we went to see Caleb race.
He didn't win,
but have a fun time.

my valentine's snack for the youth group
I got the pan on clearance
they were so easy to make. 
Choc chip cookies with m&ms


I also got these molds on clearance
to make these lollipops.



Yesterday Sam & I celebrated our 
13th wedding anniversary.
He gave me this necklace as a gift.
I love it.
It is so nice to get jewelry
even if I don't wear it that much.

Caleb's Birthday!!!

Yesterday Caleb turned 10.
WOW!!
I can't believe time has gone so fast.
It seems like not that long ago he was a little baby.






We celebrated his birthday this weekend.
Saturday we had his party and
 Sunday we went to the movies and
out for dinner.
He picked Alvin & the Chipmunks
for his movie and
then we went to Red Robin.

Happenings around the farm....

A couple weeks ago,
Sam loaded our loader tractor up
and took it to get fixed.
I took these pics for Gabe to see
since he had to be in school.
He loves to watch anything going on
with tractors.










A few new calves:




( Super x Minnie)




(Shout x Ali)




Caleb's heifer is due in about a month.
I have been wanting to get a picture of her
 for him, but she is never by herself
plus I don't usually have my camera in the barn.
Sunday I got a few pics of her.
