This and That
Sorry it has been so long since we last updated. We have gotten so busy and there has been little time to sit and think about blogging.
Although it was a hard decision, but one made with certainty, Katelyn has decided to leave drill team for the rest of her high school years.
With that said, here is the abbreviated version of the last 5 months of our lives.
March 6 was Katelyn's drill team spring show.
Although it was a hard decision, but one made with certainty, Katelyn has decided to leave drill team for the rest of her high school years. Next order of business... Our family lost a teenager of June 21 when Jesse turned 20. Katelyn also celebrated a birthday on July 2 and turned 17.
Jesse finished up his first year of college. HE SURVIVED!!!!!! 'nuff said.
He has been working at Central for the summer. He works on the grounds with the maintenance department.
We hope to enjoy the rest of the quickly disappearing summer with a trip to Michigan and spending time together.

2nd Time Around: Drill Team State 2009
December 4-5 were the ISTDA competitions this year. Once again, PCHS "shine" drill team headed to Vet's auditorium to perform a routine. Last year they took 3 routines and made school history with the first ever first place trophy. Only one routine was brought this year, it was in the "Military" category. They ended up in 5th place, therefore not receiving a trophy, but over all the performance went pretty well. Enjoy the video!
Katelyn is the single, last person to walk in, in the beginning.

A Christmas Tradition
The past eleven years we have trecked out to Vander Streek Acres and tromped through the tree fields looking for the perfect Christmas Tree. Christmas 2009 was no different.
Our Mission: Find the perfect Christmas tree
Armed with only a saw and w0rk gloves, we set off.
Searching...
We found suspects from the smallest...
to the tallest.
However, none fit the description we were looking for.
Tim took a break to oversee the others and wait to hear news of a possible tree.
Sharon and Katelyn were enjoying the assignment.
However, Jesse was getting a little discouraged.
So Tim hopped up to help continue in the search.
Jesse narrowed down the suspects to just this one, and called for

Tim agreed, this was the one.

Cutting. It. Down.
Well, that was quick.
Our next mission was to carry the tree out and get it home.
Ta Da!

Katelyn had a Little Cat, Little Cat, Little Cat...
Once upon a time there lived a cat. One day he was discovered at Pella Christian High School. Because he was deemed unworthy of an education he was sentenced to a life at a farm where he lived happily ever after...or not.
Actually Katelyn was leaving school about a week before Thanksgiving and noticed she was being followed. She was attempting to ignore the feline at her feet while putting her bag in her trunk, but he made his presence known when he jumped into her trunk. Eventually he jumped back down, she closed the trunk and opened her car door. Before she could even put her purse inside he was on the drivers seat gazing longingly up at her. When she got in, he moved to her lap. "At this point I was hooked," reports Katelyn. She called her mom and her immediate response was to throw him out and drive away! "Katelyn refused!" Sharon states. Of course, Katelyn had the poor animal's well being in mind when she told Sharon she would hit him with the car. So through a turn of events his new home is here and the rest is history...
And with homework
he helps entertain the other cats
and make food
helpful in supervising the untangling of Christmas lights
Oops, sometimes he gets distracted from helping and starts playing
and he helps...well I don't think he's helping here

He is a very helpful cat: He helped put up Christmas lights
And with homework
he helps entertain the other cats
and make food
helpful in supervising the untangling of Christmas lights
he helped wrap presents by holding the ribbon
Oops, sometimes he gets distracted from helping and starts playing
and he helps...well I don't think he's helping here Most importantly, he's never afraid to ask a question. Out of politeness he always raises his paw.
Now Tim, aren't you glad Katelyn brought him home from school one day, school one day, school one day... :)
