We have been pretty busy lately and the blog has suffered...same old story, I know! Anyway, last weekend we had a great time! On Friday Brady and I headed back to Kimballton and got to go to Grandpa Petersen's basketball game...it was the last home game for his girls team and the last time that EHK will only be EHK in basketball again...starting this fall EHK and Exira will be combined in all sports and will most likely completely consolidate schools in 2011. It was fitting that the last home game was against Exira (the team my uncle coaches for)...My uncle's team is very good (rated #2 in state) and let's just say that EHK has been going through a 'rebuilding' of sorts, which is hard for my dad and also hard to watch...Basketball at EHK used to be known across the state and losing rarely (if ever) happened. As a former player and coach's kid, it's hard to see such a lack of effort (or desire), especially when you helped build up the dynasty it once was. But now things are different and next year my dad and uncle will be co-coaching together. I think it's a good move for both schools, they are both small and have declining enrollment...so no more Danes and Lady Danes...they will be the EHK-E Spartans (they were together for football, new mascot, new colors, etc) and it seems both communities have embraced the change which is great!
On Saturday Brady and I headed to Omaha to see Abby, Sunita and their kiddos. Sunita had her second baby boy in October and Abby had her 3rd baby (a boy) on December 30th. She likes to have her babies on days that are easy for me to remember...her 2nd child (AJ) shares a birthday with Brady and Rylen (#3) was born the same day as our nephew Holden. We had a great time getting all the kids together, all 6 of them!!! Poor Gwen was the lone girl but she is a great big sister and was SO helpful! After a great visit we headed home. We had a nice family dinner at our fav mexican restaurant. On Sunday we did some shopping and ran errands...on to another busy week!!!
Rylen and Carter...both dressed in guitars...LOVE it!
All 6 kiddos! Gwen, Rylen, Brady, AJ, Caden and Carter
Play time!
