Trey Hillman

A while back I pulled an article from the KC Star Magazine on the Royal’s manager Trey Hillman. What caught my eye was the photo above. Today I finally got around to reading about Hillman and his love for Christ. The full article is no longer online, but I did want to share this story [...]

Need to borrow a truck?

Springtime means moving dirt and garage sale finds and who knows what else big will need to be moved! Our truck sits in front of our house just to be leant out! And anyone who has borrowed it in the past knows you can’t hurt it, so don’t worry about that part! It’s a standard [...]

I should have known better…

This is what happens when on Saturday morning Brian offers to dress Becks. I walked in, saw his outfit, and told them to stay there while I got the camera. Brian seriously had no idea why I wanted a picture. So, while it was a super nice gesture, I did redress the poor boy!

Deanna Rose Petting Zoo

I love a lot of things about Kansas, but Deanna Rose is pretty far up there on my list! Does it get any better than a FREE petting zoo that’s big enough that you can’t really do the whole thing in a morning?
Sadie has NO fear of the goats (maybe cause she thought they were [...]

Easter Egg Hunting

Three years old has really been the year that Beckham has caught onto celebrating and holidays and fun stuff like that. He got to go on an egg hunt and had a great time! Once Becks caught on, there was no stopping him! Sadie Piper even liked collecting them! The best part was after we [...]

Tricki Vicki Salad

Another fun recipe. This one is from Brian’s mom, we make it a lot! I think you are supposed to put Catalina dressing on it, but we don’t use anything, weird, I know, but it’s yummy just the way it is!
