Newsies

Jentry spent countless hours preparing for the school musical this year. She was responsible for all the choreography and it was a significant undertaking. Despite her stress and doubt the show was a huge success.

Following the show they called her back on stage to give her special recognition and I could not have been more proud of her and happy for her success.

Tuck had fun with Governor Roosevelt's accessories.

Gettin' Real

The days and all the lasts are zipping by....things are gettin' real!

Easter

From sunrise to sunset my Easter Sunday was filled with peace, gratitude and great hope.

Jentry got to celebrate Easter in AZ with her family and friends Lincoln & Kyla

Mason - 12

Our Mason turned 12 and we had a blast celebrating him.

Papa and Onnie gifted him a Lego Taj Mahal kit and tickets to the Savannah Bananas!

The day started with presents, of course, and then we attended church.

After church his friend, Dalton, came over to hang out and eat lunch with us.

Requested dinner of beef stroganoff topped with a candle.

After dinner, we picked up three more friends and headed to Lincoln for and afternoon of burning energy at Urban Air.  

We enjoyed supper at Buffalo Wild Wings and boy did they eat!

Dalton, Kale, Cooper, Mason, Kooper and Tucker

It was a fabulous day celebrating a very special young man. He has grown and matured so much in the past year. I am excited to see what the next year has in store for him.

All Choked Up

Sutton hosted their Honor Society awards night and Jentry surprised me with a heartfelt speech and a Certificate of Membership as an Honorary Member.  I could not be more proud of her and all her accomplishments. She choked up a bit towards the end of the speech which of course choked me up too.

We still have several months together, however we are enjoying the small moments together. Like evening walks while we are still in close proximity. Notice her swim goggles. She must wear them or risk be assassinated by another senior. Ha! Oh to be a high school senior again. I am so excited for her and can't wait to watch her future unroll like a welcome mat.

Spring Break

We got to spend a few glorious days in Harlan County over Spring Break. 

Kelsi showed us her adorable new Highland calves and their mamas.

Mason captured the moon at sunrise over the lake.

The boys built a few forts in the cove.

The Hamilton's hit up the West Coast with a tour of Stanford and a few other California hot spots.

Girls State Basketball

The Sutton Fillies won the D1 District Final over Tri County which punched a ticket to the state tournament with a 20-7 record for the first time since 2022. 

Jentry, Kyla and Lincoln

Jentry cheered "with the band" even though her saxophone was not working.

I took the day off and drove the boys to the big event. After a 1st round, 48-33 win over Amherst's Broncos at the Pinnacle Bank Arena, we headed to the Gateway Mall for some shopping, arcade time and Scooters. It was a great day!

The Fillies ended up losing 54 to 56 to Elm Creek in the consolation round and placed 4th overall.
