THE gokart

There is a joke in our family. Whenever we talk about the good 'ol days, my brother Marc and I reminisce about our days building and driving our gokarts all over the country. This is usually when my mean old brother-in-law Chris claims that our gokarts are mythical figments of our imagination and that he has never once seen them in working/riding condition. Well, in an effort to bring the family together, Marc and I (with, well... alot of help from Dad) have ventured out to set things right... to prove our manhood by building the greatest gokart ever (or at least one that runs)! It was actually Chris' idea, but that is beside the point. Marc and I set out on a perilous adventure, tasked with this great goal!!! And now, BEHOLD, the hour draweth nigh... it is almost complete. I, with bravery beyond compare, have ridden the monster of a gokart... armed with only an outstretched arm to awaken the beast and not one disk break to ease her rage.

Farm livin'

This weekend we went to hang out with Papa on the farm! It was awesome... there were tons of rocks and random metal objects to play with. The kids loved being on the farm and I was reminded of why I loved growing up there. We got to ride the tractor, play with cats and dogs, ride the gokart, jump on the trampoline, see Great Grandma and Grandpa, pick fresh mulberries, and take in the big Kansas sky.

On father's day weekend, we went to Baldwin City, KS and took a ride on the REAL Thomas Train Engine... all the way from Sodor Island!

house tour

Here's our first house ever! We bought it from my sister and we are so blessed to inherit such a great house. After doing alot of painting and refinishing the wood floors, we are excited to be settling in... although the mowing has been crazy with all the rain. Enjoy... and then come visit!
