Quick Update

It's been a long while since I've posted anything on the blog. Wanted to give you a quick update of the happenings around the ranch...

The kids only have 20 plus days left in the school year. Dee works through June, but the school year is winding down! It's been a really good year. Jono has been busy helping dad with machinery. It won't be long and he won't know which end is up because he will be working so hard trying to get the crops in the ground! He also celebrated a milestone...his 50th birthday! The church had a party for him and did some other really thoughtful things for him! The family is going to celebrate when Twila gets here in May!!!!

We now have an eleven year old in our home! Samuel is into baseball this season. He is one of the youngest on his team this year, some of the boys look like full grown men! I still think the experience will be important for him, if he just doesn't give up...Sam will have a bull riding clinic soon. He is pretty pumped for rodeo season to begin!

Sadie has been busy getting her horse and herself ready for rodeo season. A very talented young lady in our area is giving Sadie lessons and is teaching her how to rope; which I have to say has helped tremendously! She is also working with my good friend, Shelley. The only problem at Shelley's practices is Sadie is too distracted with her friends.. I wonder where she got that???? Sadie is also into music. She's taking voice and flute lessons. State contest is this weekend!

God has blessed me with opportunities to sing and speak lately to a variety of audiences. Peggy Quick and I were in Greenville, Il for a Women's Conference a couple of weeks ago. We met some amazing women there! This past weekend I sang for the Relay for Life in Mount Vernon, Il. Peggy and I have some other dates coming up.

We'd love to hear from you!
