Veteran Interview

McKay went to the local American Legion to interview a few veterans. There were three of them. They were all from different branches of the military. 

Hunter came with us and chatted with David Mullins who helped us set up the interview. He's also met with Lincoln to talk to him about the Navy.

This man McKay is talking is a sub at Hendricks and McKay has had him before. He was talking about how awesome that the oratorical kids were at Hendricks and he was excited to find out McKay had just won the oratorical. 

These are wonderful men who have served our country for a lot of years.

Some cool things outside the American Legion.

What an awesome experience!

Super Bowl 2023

For out Super Bowl party this year, we let everyone pick part of the snacks we were going to have. Josh picked a charcuterie board. It was delicious and pretty. 

Hunter picked Queso (Josh helped out with making it). 

As usual, there are no pictures of me, but I picked these Oreos...

Lincoln picked yoghurt. Apparently he was craving that. He totally enjoyed it, as did his brothers.

McKay made Lil' Smokies all by himself. 

Wafting the smell. 

We had a great time together!

Ratatouille Night

While Lincoln was on the couch recovering from his surgery, I tried to think of a few fun things to do. We did a night where we watched the movie Ratatouille and had Ratatouille for dinner.

Maggie was in on the fun too. 

Ratatouille is a vegetable stew they have in France.

The boys were pretty unsure about it. 

Lincoln (and mom and Dad) ended up liking it.

McKay doesn't like zucchini, so he had lots of water while he was eating.

I think Hunter liked it. He didn't say much. It was a great night!
 

Blaze's Birthday

McKay has some great friends in our ward. Blaze and Jack have been good buddies to him. This is from Blaze's birthday. 

I'm grateful for good friends!

 

Hunter 1st Pole Vaulting Meet 2023

In Hunter's first pole vaulting meet of 2023, Coach Nichols made him run the 400 m. He was so ticked, but he still did it. 

It didn't go as well as Hunter had hoped. 

Ready to Pole Vault. 

Hunter ended up getting 10'6" and 5th place. Not too shabby!
