E-mail updates

I added a feature to our blog tonight called Feedblitz. It is supposed to allow you to enter your email address, and then when I enter a new post to our blog, it will automatically let you know.
You can subscribe by entering your email right into the box on the sidebar.
I thought it might be nice for those of you that like to know what we are up to, but don't like to check all the time to find nothing new. (I don't blame you!)
Let me know what you think.

Tulip Festival

Thursday evening, we went to the Tulip Festival. Part of the fun of this event is the food vendors - Caden and Allyson both had a corn dog, and I had an Indian taco. Then later we got popcorn, carmel apples, and funnel cake.
































We watched the parade. These were a few of our favorites. When the kids saw the horses, they said, "see, I told you there would be horses!" They also loved watching and listening to the "marching bands".

















Tyler, Eli, Caden and Allyson in front of the tulips. Mom and Caden riding the bumper cars - Caden's favorite ride.



















Dana and Caden went down the Super Slide together, and Mom and Allyson went down together. It was a race. Guess who won?

Surprise Party

Yesterday, some co-workers and I celebrated a 50th birthday. 7 of us met and drove to the 8th's house to get her out of bed and take her to breakfast. It worked. She was surprised.
I must say I am a little worried for my 40th birthday - luckily I have awhile to go.

Arm Wrestling with Daddy

Caden and Allyson love to arm wrestle with Dad. They like to "gang up" on him and try to beat him.

Happy Mother's Day

I am blessed to be called "Mom" by Caden and Allyson.

The kids each gave me a cute card, for Mother's Day.
This evening, we went to my mom and dad's house to celebrate Mother's Day.
The kids enjoyed playing outside. Grandma let each of the kids pick a tulip out of her garden to give to their moms.

Then they got to see (not touch) the baby bunnies in Grandma's flower garden.

Interesting Drawing

I received this in an email awhile back and thought it was really neat.



Look at the lines the artist used to draw this picture of Christ.. It is of scenes from Christ's life.

Pictures Identified

Thanks to those that replied with who the people are in the post below. I was not able to edit to enter the names - so I will share here.
Picture 1 - Boy on horse - Broc's dad Ken Samuel Yesda - as a little boy
Picture 2 - 3 kids - Greg, Sharie and Ronnie (Broc's siblings)
Picture 3 - boy alone - either Broc's dad as a boy, or an uncle of Broc named DeRyan
Picture 4 - lady - Broc's Grandma Edie Yesda

Do you know these people in the pictures?

I found these pictures awhile back while going through some old stuff of Broc. I don't know who they are and would love some help in identifying them. If you recognize them, please comment, or email me to let me know. (If you click on the picture, it should enlarge for better viewing.)

Hail

Tonight when we got home from work, it was raining, and it started to hail when we got in the house. Of course I needed to get a picture of it.
I just want to comment on our weather lately. 2 weeks ago, we had snow, then last week we had tornadoes, and now this week we have hail. Wow! Thankfully the hail was only pea size by us - and the crops aren't up yet to damage.

Erin's Wedding

Saturday, my cousin Erin married Marty. They make such a great couple! I pray that they may be blessed with many, many years of happiness together.
Here is a picture of me, Erin, and Dana.
