Cross Hanging

Well the cross is hanging. I put it up this morning with a couple of helpers. Lighting was bad so pictures aren't that great, but you get the idea. It is beautiful in person, course I am a little bias. :) We will take more with a better camera and post later. Chuck

The Making of the Cross

I have been wanting to make a cross for our church all winter so finally Dad came out and we just got it done. It is made out of walnut and it turned out beautiful. So I thought I would share some pictures of the making of the cross all the way to where it is sitting in the garage after being sprayed with a finish. Then soon I hope to show the final of it hanging on the church wall. The pictures of the full cross shows a little yellow due to the lighting, but the smaller ones show the true color.

More Prom Pictures

These two young ladies are baby sitters of Samuel, he had to get in on the action too. Ashlyne really wanted to be included and wanted a picture with her big brother.

On the drive home after pictures Samuel informed us that when him and Roselyn (little girl from daycare and preschool) are 8 they are gettiing married. He is so his father's child.

March 14th- Prom 2009

This is Brandon's Junior Prom. The group went to dinner at Ruby Tuesdays instead of eating hotel convention food. The dance was from 9-12 then post prom at the Big Apple (bowling/fun center) from 1-4. Chuck and I are security volunteers for Post Prom and Chuck along with two KPD and another father are doing breathilizer tests as the kids enter. Brandon's date is Tori, they have been dating for about 4 months.

Sitting around the fire.

Our first fire of the season. Could be a good sign that we will be doing it more this summer. It was a crisp 40 degrees out, but the fire was warm. Ash had a friend over, Katherin, so that is the extra girl in the photos. Sam was having a great time in the monster truck. All of the pictures of the 5 of us were taken by Sam.

Cranes 2009

This is a video taken with my cheap digital camera, so the clarity is not the greatest, but you get the feel of how many cranes are flying around right now here in Kearney. This is about 10 miles from our home and on the way home you can see 3-4 more bunches as big or bigger than this. It is an amazing thing if you have never seen it.
