Kraig's Track Meet

Last night Keith & I went to Kraig's track meet in Fremont, Indiana. It was really windy and felt colder than the 54 degrees that it showed on the thermometers. Poor Kraig and his teammates were in shorts and shortsleeved uniforms. Kraig competes in the shot put and the discus (Just like his Dad did in school) He really did well. I think his farthest discus was over 69 feet and shot put was over 23 feet. I could be wrong as I did not write it down. It has been quite a few years since I went to a track meet (when Kurt was in high school) Kevin was in cross country not track & field. I will post some pictures I took of Kraig at the meet. Keith & I are always very proud of Kraig.

Great Family Weekend

We had a great weekend. Kevin, Sarah and Libby came to visit Friday afternoon. We had lunch when they got here and then Libby took a nap while we just visited. Later we went to visit Great Grandma Engler. Then we came home and Sarah fed Libby and then we went out to visit Kurt's family at the campgrounds. Keith had an auction and he was pretty tired Friday night. Saturday Kevin & Sarah went to Butler in the morning to watch Casey and Chloe's softball game. We stayed home with Libby as she was taking her nap. They played at 10:30. Got done at noon but had to play again at 1 p.m. We had planned to celebrate Kurt's birthday at noon. John, JoAnn and both our mothers came. Kurt's got here a little after noon and ate. We waited to have cake and ice cream till after the next game. When they got back, the kids had an Easter Egg Hunt. We had beautiful weather and a great family day even if it was a liitle hectic. Sunday Kevin , Sarah and Libby met Jenna Seavers and Jacob for lunch. Then they came back and fed Libby and loaded up to go back to Cincinnati. It was a fun weekend, but went way to fast! It is so neat to watch Kurt's and Kevin's kids together. I took so many pictures, these are just a few. Libby's chair picture is one they took Friday before they came. Libby helped Grandpa read the Sunday paper. And a family picture of Kevin's before they left. We also put Libby's footprint in plaster before they left. I guess it sounds like I am just rambling on, so I will got to bed. Goodnight all!

Kurt & Christy's New Camper

Monday I took a personal day and Keith & I went with Kurt's family to Shipshewana to look at a camper for them. Christy and the kids were still on Spring Break so we could all go. It is a really nice camper with a slide out so it has so much more room in it than their old one. It is neat and just like it was made for them has a wall paper border of whitetail deer. They decided to get it. Friday Kurt helped Keith put the fifth wheel hitch in his truck and they moved his old trailer to his house and one of the little red buildings we had to his campsite. Then Kurt, Keith and Christy went to Shipshewana to get their new camper and the kids stayed with me. We had pizza for supper and had a good time. They got back after dark so they just left the camper here and Kurt used Keith's truck today to take it to their campsite. Keith had an auction in Toledo.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KURT!

Today is our son, Kurt's, birthday. He is a great guy and we are very proud of him. If you know Kurt, wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY. How can he be 38 if I am only 40 something???

Kraig's Hardware

Kurt's family came over for the evening. We had fun just talking. Kraig told us all about his field trip to Chicago. Christy went with him. Sounds like they had a great time. Kraig brought his basketball award so that I could take a picture of him. It says Eastside Athletic Award. Most Improved 6th Grade Basketball Kraig Whitman. The kids all had some experience to share with us. We talked about old times, new times and just had a great time.

Casey's Vollyball Tournament

Saturday Keith had an auction. I went to Woodburn to drop off a gift for Chappy & Jenny's granddaughter and then went to Butler to Casey's volleyball tournament. She and her team have improved since the last one. It was fun to watch her. Kurt, Christy, Kraig, Chloe and Cayla were there and I sat with them.

Christy told me that Kraig had gotten a plaque for the Most Improved Basketball player at the awards banquet. He never told them or us about the banquet because he didn't think it was a big deal. I will have to take a picture of his award next time I am over to their home.
