Thanksgiving feast

Blessed to share a meal or two with the Bettendorf and Lemke folks.

Gobble Gallop

Great way to start the day! Team Bettendorf was well represented.

Digger

We have a digger working in our yard today. Hans wants a good view!

Ranch Highlights

Another fun western adventure. Special thanks to grandpa and grandma for feeding, loving, & entertaining our crew.

Hannah made meat

My little Puggle

Protein?

Rachel: "mom, can I share some of this protein with Lars?"

Deer hunting

A great weekend with cousins, uncles, aunts, grandparents, & big deer.

Park Point 5-mile

 Matt and Hannah ran a five-mile race this weekend.  Strong times posted by both of them!  

 Hannah had never run a full five miles before, but she was excited to try.  We thought she'd finish in around an hour, but she came sailing in at the 43 minute mark.  Yeah, Hannah!

Megan, Luke, Lars and Della earned their ribbons in the youth race.  Fun evening for the whole family.  

water skiing

 We moved a lot of sand and spent hours in and on the water.

 Hannah is starting to rip it up.

 Luke pops right out of the water this year.

 Megan got her one-ski deep water start.  Yeah!!

 Mom and dad can still ski, too.

Tired cousins.
