Teamwork

The Mahaska County Cattlemen grilled steaks for the Iowa Barnstormer Arena Football Team at the cabin about a week ago. The team also hung out in the shop and experienced farm life. BJ and Becky were great host.

Elijah and Anton teamed up to help Grandpa replace a bogie on a Cat tractor.

Ethan is a little apprehensive about teaming up to play with the girls. Happy 9th Birthday Ethan. You have the only birthday I know of with a command. March forth (4th).

Yesterday was a slow Saturday so Mike and Mark teamed up against Kurt and Brad for a two on two basketball game in the shop.

Jan and I went to the Girls State Basketball Tournament Friday evening. North Mahaska played in the 1A final game and Pella Christian played in the 2A final game. It was a unique experience for me since I attended both schools.

Many of you that are local have probably already seen this picture but for those of you out of state after the 2A championship game both the Hull Western Christian girls and the Pella Christian girls had a joint team picture taken. WHO TV said they couldn't ever remember competing teams getting together for a picture. 

The girls organized a game night for our family at Mike and Suzanne's house. It started out segregated however after supper we teamed up and got a game of Scrabble and a game of Rook going. Thanks Kids.

This is my favorite picture this week. Uncle Dan is enjoying a visit from Mark and Stacy and is holding Anton. Dan is walking without a cast and we are hoping he can move back to Oskaloosa real soon.

"So Elijah went and found Elisha plowing a field. There were twelve teams of oxen in the field, and Elisha was plowing with the twelveth team. Elijah went over and threw his coat across Elisha's shoulders and then walked away."  1 Kings 19:19 NLT
