The Rest of September


Catherine and one of her science experiments.

For Dan's birthday, we went out to eat and then hung out by this little lake for a while.

Dominic and Mommy.

For the record, no one fell in, but they were making me nervous!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

When you give kids Pull-n-Peel Twizzlers, this is what they might do.

The kids picked the hot peppers one day.

They got a lot!


On September 20, 2015, Dan's beloved uncle, Fr. Al Brungardt, died after a battle with cancer. On September 25, we attended his funeral in Victoria, KS.  It was a sad time, but also a joyful time of remembering Fr. Al's life.  There were many family members in attendance.
At the cemetery, just down the road from St. Fidelis Basilica.  You can see the steeples in the background.

Fr. Al was laid to rest.


Later that day, we stopped to visit Dan's niece and her husband.  They bought the original Brungardt house across the street from the Basilica. While we were there, we found out the Homecoming Parade would be coming down the street, so Becky found sacks for the kids to collect some loot.
Here comes the parade!

Horses!

The kids checked out their loot.

We toured all over this neat, old house.

The Twins Turn Double Digits

In early August, Dominic and Anne turned 10!  It's hard to believe our little twins are in the 5th grade.
Dominic chose to go to Jurassic World with Daddy as his birthday treat.

With popcorn!

On the morning of his birthday, Dominic helped decorate his cupcakes.

Anne got the horse trailer she wanted.

Time for target practice.

Happy 10, Dominic and Anne!

Anne got to get ice cream with Daddy.

She took Catherine along.

After a stop at the bookstore, they went to ride go-carts.

On your marks...

Playmobil!

Maze ball.

His most wanted gift: a Rubik's Cube.

Present from Anne.

Reading an awesome homemade card.

Catherine made Anne a little bat.

Another cool card.

Dominic and his super yummy cupcakes.

Joseph's Birthday


Later in May, we celebrated Joseph's 8th birthday!  It was a Saturday, which was fun since Daddy was home.
In the morning, Joseph and I decorated his cake: race car track with sour patch kids as the audience.

After the girls' volleyball game, we went to the arcade for Joseph's birthday fun with Daddy.

Joseph loved it.

He is definitely not ready to drive anytime soon!

Popcorn and pop break back at home.  Yum!

An arrow holder.

He got new arrows as well, and demonstrated how it works.

Our little Robin Hood.

Who's ready for some kickball?

Catherine made Joseph a little froggy.

Anne made Joseph a bookmark with his initials on it.

Ideas for Lego creations.

Time for some cake!

Happy birthday to Joseph!

End of April


Catherine helped Anthony make this for me.

He had to show it off himself.

The kids' favorite thing about going to the mall (which we do about twice a year).

Cool clouds.

Celebrating my birthday at Las Palmas in Andover.

Chips and salsa.  Yum!

The ten chicks.

Girls helped transplant tomatoes and peppers.

Smile!

Do you see them?  Killdeer babies hidden on the ground.

Snow peas growing well.

Cherry pie and asparagus.

Yummy stuff on the grill.
