Final T-Ball Game

Here are some picture from the boys final t-ball game.  They all got good hits, but I think Levi played in the dirt more than anything! It was fun for them, but I think we were all glad the season was over!

Saying Goodbye

Saturday afternoon, our dog Huck passed away in my arms on the river. He was 2 months shy of his 16th birthday. I got Huck when I was a senior in high school and we had a very special bond. Huck loved going on the boat and swimming. We knew Huck was deteriorating and were happy to finally get him out on the river both Friday evening and Saturday. He seemed to be more energetic on Saturday and was happy and smiling. We put him in for a short swim to Dale and then he sat next to me for a few minutes and we were both able to get a picture with him. After that he laid down on the boat. His breathing started to become slow and heavy and then eventually he wasn't responsive. I picked him up and held him in my arms. He looked up at me and we all got to say goodbye before he eventually took his last breath. It was as if Huck was waiting to do his favorite thing before he left. He had a very long and happy life. We will miss him dearly. I know it seems strange, but the house is very quiet without him. Something is just missing. He was a very special part of our family.  We buried him at our property and are going to plant a Weeping Willow tree by his grave and have the boys make him a stepping stone. Here are our last pictures with our beloved Huck!  We love you and miss you!

Happy 4th of July!

Wednesday night we had a volleyball game and then went with Aunt Megan, Uncle Bill, Jacob and our friends Kent, Becky, Gavin and Grant to watch fireworks.  They had so much fun playing in the park waiting for fireworks.  On July 4th we went to the parade with Grandpa and Grandma Hackmann, Aunt Lauren and Uncle Ryan, Aunt Megan, Uncle Bill, Jacob, Michelle, Cayden, Aunt Jeanine, Trey and Cooper.  All the boys had a blast watching the parade and catching candy and beads.  After the parade we had a quite afternoon with a much needed nap then bar-b-qued for dinner.

T-Ball!

The boys first session of T-ball ended Monday night with an awards ceremony.  GG, Mama Weber and Papa Great, Grandma and Grandpa Hackmann, Aunt Megan, Uncle Bill, Jacob, Aunt Lauren, Uncle Josh, Aunt Tara, Hunter and Baylen all came to see the boys and Colton play.  They were all so proud of themselves.  They are learning more and more each week and they are looking forward to their next session of t-ball!
