MONA

Every year for art class the kids need to make their assignments and then the art teach, Mr. Hansen, chooses a few to go on exhibit at the Museum of Nebraska Art (MONA) here in Kearney. Well this year, Kari had 2 of her pieces on display.

This is a painted picture of edelweiss:
Here is the bird and nest that she molded out of clay.

She even received a little certificate for her good work. The boys didn't care much for the art, but they did enjoy the cookies and lemonade!

Braden's Birthday

Braden turned 9 years old this year. He wanted to have a party with friends, but due to school he had to wait about two weeks before having his party. So on his actual birthday we went out to eat at The Cellar, came home and did doughnuts and presents. My boy claims to not like cake!
Talking on the phone with someone who called to wish him a Happy Birthday.
This is his latest haircut. Just kidding. Steve does like to cut his hair in ridiculous ways and then take pictures of it. It was funny though. This time before he could finish cutting it his clippers ran out of batteries. Braden refused to leave the house until the next day when the batteries were charged.
We had his "friend" birthday party at the Big Apple Fun Center. He wanted to do the big indoor playground "Ballocity." He originally invited only boys from his class at church but because I had to bring Kari with there were a few other little girls allowed.

Thanks everyone for helping Braden have a fun birthday!
