Kailtyn's True Love

Although Kaitlyn loves her Daddy and I much we realize we are not Kaitee's first love. Her top picks live a couple of blocks down the road from us in a pasture! Although Kaitlyn doesn't get to spend as much time with her animals as she'd like to, she certainly enjoys each and every second that she is there. Today, after feeding them apples, she walked and rode Jezebell, the donkey, which didn't leave Freedom to happy.

Spending time with Grandma Terrie

Sarana & Kaitlyn got to spend quite a bit of time this weekend with their Grandma Terrie, and boy are they happy about it. What started out as meeting for lunch yesterday turned into an all afternoon excursion ending at Tony's Pizza for dinner. Then, since we were having Bro. Terry Vik this morning in service, Terrie came over this morning to attend services with us. Finally, after lunch Terrie said she had had enough of us and was out of here. No not really. She had made plans to pick up one of her friends to attend their regular weekend service. Since the girls have already lost one grandpa and three great grandpas (all within the past few years) we are quickly learning to cling to the family we have left. Especially when they are as crazy as Grandma Terrie!

Good Times

Today was a day of relaxation and fun with Steve’s side of the family. We seriously ate too much but lunch was delicious! What started out as a walk for Grandma McDaniel (Steve’s grandma) turned into a family recreational event at a school across the street from their house. Everything from a football and a basketball to four bikes and skateboards made their way out of the garage. The bike that Sarana is riding was Sarana’s (Steve’s mom) when she was a little girl. The bike is super heavy and we all decided they don’t make it like that anymore. The bike that Steve is on belongs to his brother. Although he enjoyed riding, it certainly didn’t match his style. Anyway, we thoroughly enjoyed spending time with our family, and as always, vowed we would have to do it again soon.

Happy Birthday Sarana

Friday, 3-6-09, Sarana Ann turns 12! Seems like just yesterday she was born and now she is turning 12! :) Steve and I are very proud of this young lady. Sarana is natural leader and eagerly takes on responsibilities to lighten the load of others. Sarana has political aspirations in her future.Go for it baby! Certainly she has proved her capabilities while serving as Vice President of the Student Body last year and President this year. Sarana’s biggest accomplishment is her desire to attend church and her eagerness to worship freely. We are proud of this special young lady and love her to pieces.

Happy Birthday Baby!
Love, Mom
