Fun with Family

The last two weekends have been filled with family get-togethers or just spending time as a family unit. We had to go back to North Central Kansas for my *gasp* 10th year class reunion. It was a good time and I enjoyed seeing some of my best friends and their families.
On Sunday my brother Max and his wife Leann graciously hosted a swimming/BBQ party for our family and some cousins! It was great! My oldest brother, Milton, decided to still try some "older brother scare tactics" on me and I am glad to say, I did not go running:)


Even when he got this close! Yes that is his headlight, which is why he had to leave early, while he could still see!



This last weekend was the Herndon Ox Roast held in Herndon Kansas just straight north of our farm about 13 miles. I had never been and Orrin hadn't been as an adult. Since it had rained the day before there was no spraying or field work to do so for a change the men got to participate also. We had a "mini float" in the parade and with our Scooter(oldest child) pulling a wagon with a pedal tractor. The sign said "The future looks bright in Herndon" with all the kids wearing their sunglasses(on a very cloudy cool day!). I pulled a wagon with the other two kids in it and advertised for our VBS night at church which is coming up at the end of June. The kids had alot of fun. Little Miss(our little girl) was busy trying to steal candy out of Crash's(our second child) bucket so there was some tension in my wagon but otherwise went well! I couldn't believe the parade lasted so long....at least 45 minutes!



Crash "crashed" while eating corn on the cob. He would take a bite and slowly close his eyes, then open to take a bite. Sometimes even onery kids can be so cute!



*I am taking a clue off a fellow blogger and cousin by not putting my children's names but nicknames instead. Hopefully these will not change as to confuse you.*
