This year was quite a bit different. </p><p>Thanks to COVID, the Canadian borders are still closed so we aren't able to go up and see family. We had just seen most of the Hoefakker family at Thanksgiving, so we stayed home for Christmas. Not only did we stay at home for Christmas, but normally this two week break is full of basketball games and tournaments. Since there are still no sports happening we didn't have any of that either. In some ways, the quiet relaxed days were nice but I would trade it in a heartbeat to have our regular activities back again.</p><p>We haven't entertained at our house in a very long time. This year we decided to have a cookie decorating Christmas cocktail party:) We had an absolute blast and I can see it becoming a tradition.</p><p>We forgot to take any pictures on Christmas day:/ I had great intentions of taking a family picture since Chris and Brandi were here as well but.....oh well. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rGDwL5E9Fvc/X_OzWS4g-UI/AAAAAAAADtA/-TNyqE7elY4uhdl-2UvdzJ74kb66Kg52QCNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2046" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rGDwL5E9Fvc/X_OzWS4g-UI/AAAAAAAADtA/-TNyqE7elY4uhdl-2UvdzJ74kb66Kg52QCNcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/15.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We may have forgotten to take family pictures but we got the dog pictures done:)</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-shG-_ioFGgI/X_OzTuajSAI/AAAAAAAADs8/oL3pYBEP12YbcS9H_umEmXNZM3M_aR-IwCNcBGAsYHQ/s960/16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="776" data-original-width="960" height="518" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-shG-_ioFGgI/X_OzTuajSAI/AAAAAAAADs8/oL3pYBEP12YbcS9H_umEmXNZM3M_aR-IwCNcBGAsYHQ/w640-h518/16.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6ylRO9zJEZI/X_Oz0zohVKI/AAAAAAAADtk/2ZkuBflLuQ4jElkMAH79_iErGkiURdHsQCNcBGAsYHQ/s960/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6ylRO9zJEZI/X_Oz0zohVKI/AAAAAAAADtk/2ZkuBflLuQ4jElkMAH79_iErGkiURdHsQCNcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/3.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Apparently, something blew her mind!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o1KxBsqCuUM/X_Oz1qKwq8I/AAAAAAAADto/UXBcyFfGI34H8Q0IhewuhVe7xjWWEwhSACNcBGAsYHQ/s960/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o1KxBsqCuUM/X_Oz1qKwq8I/AAAAAAAADto/UXBcyFfGI34H8Q0IhewuhVe7xjWWEwhSACNcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/4.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-26mdm7rJ7Dw/X_Oz15A9__I/AAAAAAAADts/Yl2_Mn4c_kMALC5k24KDysm8u1dqeZL5QCNcBGAsYHQ/s960/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="761" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-26mdm7rJ7Dw/X_Oz15A9__I/AAAAAAAADts/Yl2_Mn4c_kMALC5k24KDysm8u1dqeZL5QCNcBGAsYHQ/w318-h400/5.jpg" width="318" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Brandi and Aydan hadn't hung out in a few years.

font-size: medium;">What a year it's been. It may seem like 2020 doesn't leave us a lot to be thankful for but the truth is, even in the midst of all the political chaos, angry people, cancelled church, trips, schools, sporting events etc. there is sooo much to be thankful for!! 5 years ago, two days before thanksgiving I was diagnosed with cancer. To be here 5 years later in good health is a huge reason for thankfulness. To have our family and friends together, and have lots of extra family time these last several months has shown that quarantine 2020 is not completely negative!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Since the border is closed and we can't go stay with Oma, we had booked a condo in Birch bay for a few nights. We were all planning on going up but then a few days before we were going to leave, Brandi was diagnosed with COVID:/ Since Ashley and Kendra had just been down there the week before we thought we better be a little extra careful and we decided to have dinner with just our family at the condo. Then we headed over to Ken and Evelyn's to have a 'socially distanced' desert:) </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">While we were in Birch Bay we were able to meet up with Amy Hoefakker a couple of times who was living in Birch bay as well. That was pretty awesome to be able to see her!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dYExPNVTDSQ/X8WJ2dICreI/AAAAAAAADqY/UShG_0GWAzQt9fD-itgBkgc4zcX9ELZ1gCNcBGAsYHQ/s960/bb7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dYExPNVTDSQ/X8WJ2dICreI/AAAAAAAADqY/UShG_0GWAzQt9fD-itgBkgc4zcX9ELZ1gCNcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/bb7.jpg" width="400" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9bjRtVRkIp4/X8WKGAy0b5I/AAAAAAAADqo/hm2KGGnkGpo0JU7XZRdS7a7w6HJvBF8IACNcBGAsYHQ/s960/bb11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9bjRtVRkIp4/X8WKGAy0b5I/AAAAAAAADqo/hm2KGGnkGpo0JU7XZRdS7a7w6HJvBF8IACNcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/bb11.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Many hours were spent trying to get this puzzle done!

<br />
<br />
<br />
There was a high school basketball camp scheduled for Wenatchee but unfortunately, a number of girls dropped out. Because so many girls dropped out we lost our 'classroom' that the girls were going to stay in. We also ended up only having enough girls for one team. BUT....it all worked out for the best because it was such a FUN camp!! We only had 7 players, and mostly young players! But all the girls got along great, there was no diva's, no drama, no whining and complaining (from parents or players:) We ended up camping at the Chelan County fair grounds with the Cox's, the Blair's, and Kyler. It was a lot of fun! The girls even got to enjoy an afternoon at the waterslides in Chelan! The dads went along on that trip while us mom's headed back to the campers so I didn't get any good pictures of the waterslides.<br />
The girls played hard and beat some pretty big schools! They were very intimidated to be playing their first game against Lynden Christian but ended up beating them by quite a bit! They only lost one game, and that was in OT.<br />

The last few years we've only taken the boat out two or three times a year so it would be really hard to justify having an expensive boat sitting there that's not getting used!! Bob hauled the boat out of storage on Thursday (july 4th) and got it cleaned up and ready to go for the season again. Friday afternoon we headed off to Levy for a couple of hours of fun. <br />

My back had been bothering me off and on for awhile, but that's nothing new and I didn't think a whole lot of it. Then one night I had a hard time sleeping because my lower right back just felt swollen. It kind of bothered me off and on all day. Around 6 I finally said something to Bob and brought up the idea that we may have to go see a Dr. But, then I figured maybe I could just rest and sleep it off. I'm always afraid of going in and the dr's thinking that I'm some sort of hypochondriac or something because my chart is so thick! About 1am I gave up on sleeping and finally admitted to myself that I was going to need some help with this one. I woke up Brandi and asked her to drive me to the ER. I didn't want to have Bob bring me because I figured he may as well get some sleep since he had to work in the morning. Once at the ER they did a bunch of the regular tests and discovered that I had a stone completely blocking my ureter tube and an infection. They decided that I needed to be transferred to Virginia Mason in Yakima and have surgery ASAP. I tried to convince them to just let me drive to Yakima but they weren't having it:/ So we woke up Bob, who got down to Prosser shortly before the transport arrived and he followed the ambulance down to Yakima. The driver had a bit of a led foot and Bob wasn't able to keep up with them on the freeway but was able to catch up by the time we got to the hospital. They brought me straight into pre-op and within 30 minutes we were in surgery! They put a stent into the ureter tube and were able to blast the stone with lithotripsy. They left the stent in and we were back home again by 9:30am:) On Tuesday I went in to have the stent removed and was warned that in about 15% of the cases, once the stent was removed their could be significant swelling in the tube which could cause things to shut down again. Sure enough, that night I ended up back in the ER with the ureter tube swollen completely shut again and preventing the kidney from draining. Some more tests, some anti-inflammatory's and some pain meds and 5 hours later we were back at home again. One of the things I always dread about medical procedures is the IV/blood work. My veins are just not cooperative and it usually takes a few attempts and some talented lab people to get the job done.<br />

Monday night he had an 8:30 game in Mabton. So we were in Pasco at 4 for Kendra's volleyball game, headed home as soon as she was done and had just enough time to scarf down some dinner before we headed to Mabton for Tyler's basketball game. He had a great first quarter. Was playing very aggressively, getting some steals and blocks and hustling down the court. Then right at the beginning of the second quarter he went in for a lose ball and ended up in a pile of bodies on the floor. The other players got up fairly quickly but Tyler wasn't moving. We all thought he was just being kind of slow and needed a minute to catch his breath or something. His coach even commented.."he's a farm kid. He's good!' And then we heard him start crying, he lifted up his head and there was blood everywhere! His coach ran out on to the court to help him, blood was running through Tylers hands that were covering his mouth. We all assumed he had lost some teeth! Got him off the court and out into the hall by a sink and by that point he had blood running down his arms and dripping off his elbows. When we finally got the bleeding stopped.....we were shocked to see just a tiny small cut in his lip where it looked like a tooth had went through.<br />

Two days later and the swelling still seems to be getting worse instead of better! He is complaining of a sore tooth as well. A friend of ours who was at the game and is a dental hygienist, checked his teeth out right away when it had happened and they didn't seem to be lose at all. However, she said that it's very possible that he fractured a root or damaged a nerve which could cause a tooth to die. So for now, we're waiting a couple of days for the swelling to go down and then we'll see what we're dealing with!</div>

Coach Cass happened to be working in the Mabton gym that day and helped with the clean up. I had to get a picture of her and Kendra together! Partially because we love Coach Cass!! But also, because it's kind of funny to see the two of them side by side:)</div>

And suddenly, we're right back at it again with Kendra. This year the Monday night games are being held at Pasco high school at 4:15. The first night was rough! It almost seemed like this group of girls had never played before. Their coach was wanting to run a 6-2 rotation so that Kambree and Kendra could both set but the girls had never ran that rotation during club and were very confused!! Thankfully the next week went a little better:)<br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once again, we headed to Colfax for basketball camp. The girls have always LOVED this camp! We headed down on Sunday afternoon so we could have a better chance of getting a good parking spot for the camper. The school is undergoing construction this year so parking was definitely more limited. The kids slept in a classroom at the elementary school this year but thankfully we still had access to the high school gym as well. Lynn and Kambree came with us as well as Jacob Rainer. He came last year to hang out with Tyler and they had a great time!</span></div>

What a beautiful and unique wedding. The wedding took place on the tarmac at the Prosser airport with the reception Jim's airport hanger. It was beautiful. But of course, it was on one of the first super hot weekends of the year. Bob spent some time there the day of the wedding helping hang up some shade cloth to try and provide some sun relief. Everything came together really well and we had so much fun!!<br />

Thanks to 'snowpocalypse 2019' we had several extra days of school to make up this year. Tyler was really hoping to get a 4.0 GPA this year but due to some struggles with an ELA class...he had to settle for a 3.9! Kendra had a great year as well and received several different awards, including a 4.0, athletic achievement, and some sort of award for high SBAC testing scores. Very proud of both of them!!<br />

Short and sweet visit but it was so nice to spend some time with them and get to know the boys a little better. We decided that Tucker fits in very well in our house, and Tyson is an absolute doll, whom we are proud to welcome to the family!!<br />

This is only his second season doing it and we could definitely see a huge improvement. I hope he continues to play!! His team did really really well, went all the way to the championship game and then lost to a team they definitely should have beat:/ It was just a game where they made lots and lots of errors and got in their own heads. But it was a very fun season with a great group of kids and parents!<br />

They thought they could just do a lumpectomy but after three surgeries, they finally decided that a mastectomy was the only option. They were quite concerned about the risk of such a major surgery but she handled it like a champ!! I went up on Wednesday and stayed with her until Saturday.<br />

Bob made a wire crate to put in the back of the canopy on the truck so that we wouldn't have to use Maljaar's trailer again to go and get them. Plus, it's a much easier (and cheaper) drive to go that far without pulling a trailer.<br />

<br />
<br />
Kendra finished off her middle school sports career with another great track and field season. She has a great group of friends that do track and they have so much fun together! This year, at their home meets they added a fun little event called the twinkie relay. The relay team can be any four people you want, the baton is a pack of twinkies, and the last person to run has to consume the twinkies before they cross the finish line!<br />
Kendra is a very strong competitor and has set a few records in middle school.<br />
For the Housel Middle School records, for 7th grade she holds the 7th place record for 200 meters, 2nd place for 400 meters, 2nd place for 800 meters, 9th place for 100m hurdles, 1st place for high jump, and first place for long jump. For the 8th grade housel middle school records she is third place for 800m, 3rd place for 1600m, 6th in high jump and 1st in long jump. Her relay team is 2nd in the 4x100 and 2nd in the 4x200<br />
In the 'Mid-Valley League' which is Grandview, Toppenish, Wapato, Zillan,Sunnyside, West Valley, Ellensburg, Morgan, East Valley, Naches, Granger, Selah, Sierra Vista, and Prosser, she has a few top 10 records for the 2019 season.<br />
She is second in the 800 meter, 5th in the mile, and 2nd in the long jump.<br />
Her relay team is 4th in the 4x100, and 1st in the 4x200!<br />

Since the Phillips were here as well working with their sheep we quickly took her up on her offer. When she got here however the scale wasn't working properly and we thought maybe the battery was running low so Ashley quickly offered to run back over to the Maljaars house to grab the cord. It seemed to take her a very long time to get back! When she finally got back home I noticed when she got out of the truck she had a bit of a funny look on her face. She explained to Denise that when she got to their house she noticed the neighbor man was putting the sheep back into their pasture as they had pushed through the fence into his pasture. She decided she better help him and went into their pasture to take one of the babies out and put him back into the proper pen when the ram decided she had no business being in there and came at her. As she was explaining this she suddenly started crying! Which is very strange for Ashley. And she showed us her injured hand. The ram butted her good in the thigh, and then backed up, lowered his head and started coming at her again. She had the baby lamb in one arm so she put out her hand to try to fend off the ram and of course...now her hand hurt! We didn't think much of it as Ashley tends to get a large variety of injuries on a regular basis:/ Sunday we noticed her palm had a big bruise on it and her hand was definitely swollen. Sunday after we got into the car after church I asked to feel her fingers and noticed that her pinky and ring finger were ice cold while the other fingers were normal. Since there's a brand new urgent care clinic right down the road from the church I figured we should probably stop and have it looked at. When the xray results showed there was a break at the bottom of the pinky we actually both started laughing! You have got to be kidding. For the second time in under a year she had a serious injury thanks to a sheep!! They said it was a very clean straight fracture across the bottom of the pinky. They wrapped her up good in a half cast and instructed us to go see and orthopedist that week.<br />

That week we went and saw the orthopedist, he was not quite as optimistic as the urgent care dr and pointed out that what looked like a nice clean flat line break, when viewed from the other side was actually a V shaped break down to the knuckle. He put her in a full hard cast up to her elbow and informed her the cast was to stay there for minimum 4-6 weeks. That means, Toppenish Fair, FFA state, Prom.... Could be a lot worse if you consider how big and powerful a ram is!</div>

Our theory kind of is as long as the attitude stays in check and the grades stay where they're supposed to be, the extra curricular's can continue. It's going to make for a crazy busy spring though. With all the FFA competitions being in the spring, the sheep to raise for Toppenish fair, spring basketball, and then track on top of it.....ugh. But as long as the knees hold out and the grades stay where they need to be we'll let her try it. Coach 'I' has been excited about Brandi joining the jumping team. He started working with her a little in middle school already when they were at the track at the same time as the high school team. In fact, by the time the season started he had a pair of jumping spikes for her. (Because he knew her mom refused to buy her a pair of $80 shoes just to jump in) She's going to be doing the long jump and the triple jump. Which to me, is one of the strangest events ever invented. Who in the world thought up the triple jump! The good news is its an extremely complicated thing so there are very few contestants:) But the complicated part is just what appealed to Brandi...It's the challenge. The season has just begun and there's only been two preliminary meets where the kids kinda practice and get the hang of what they're doing. Apparently once the season starts she will also be competing in one or two running events. Probably the 4x4. So here's to another adventure!<br />

The cause of so much joy and yet so many embarrassing moments. Thankfully his teachers have a great sense of humor and keep me updated on many of the things he says. I'm sure there are some things he says that they choose not to share with me for the sake of sparing my pride.<br />
<br />
The following are texts that I have received from his teacher.<br />
<br />
"<i>Tyler is probably going to come home with a million questions about animals evolving. I told him to talk to you. We were reading a non fiction book about penguins and the author mentioned that penguins lost their ability to fly through evolution. He began rapid firing really great questions but most of them were way over everyone else's head. I kept telling him that the books says "SOME scientists" and that there are certainly scientists who believe that God made penguins exactly how they are today and that evolution doesn't exist. He wasn't satisfied with this answer either. So I told him that he needed to discuss it with you & find out how his family believes. Good luck. He has some great questions!"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
This lead to quite the exhausting discussions that night regarding creationism vs evolution. He is not satisfied with the simple answers but really wants to be able to wrap his head around the WHY and HOW COME.<br />
<br />
"<i>Oh yeah, he also told a group of us that "my dad would rather run over a cat than own one!"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
No, Bob is not a cat murderer who drives around looking for random cats to run over. In fact, he will hit the brakes if a cat is on the road. He is just not a cat lover by any stretch of the imagination!<br />
<br />
"<i>He asked me if when a dog eat the sack that's around it's puppies when they're born if it tastes good---how am I supposed to know, I haven't given birth to puppies! lol"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Maybe living on old mcdonalds farm, the child has seen more than he should...I don't know. We call it real life biology lessons!<br />
<br />
"<i>I know you will be mortified when you read this but remember, no judgement here! Tyler asked me Dawn & Brandi (in front of the entire class) if we drank fireball. He proceeded to tell us that he has ---a little bit. We thought it was hilarious and very matter of fact. Like we were having a conversation in a bar or something. I told him he needs to practice not sharing so much with his teachers"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Ok. This one requires some serious explanations. Thankfully his teacher knows us well and is aware that we do not actually feed our children alcohol!! Bob had a mixed drink sitting on the counter one night, Tyler went up and took a swig thinking it was pepsi. He proceeded to spit all over the kitchen so there is no way he actually ingested any. And oh....good grief. So thankful he has the teachers he does!<br />
<br />
<i>This great story was relayed to me verbally...apparently two of the teachers were talking and one happened to use the phrase, "once in a blue moon" Tyler, overhearing a conversation that was none of his business quickly muttered, "moon?, well obviously you need a smaller butt or bigger pants!"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Tyler has a severe case of plumber butt that we can never quite seem to control. Therefore anytime he hears the word moon he assumes somebody's butt crack is hanging out!<br />
<br />
<i>"Luke informed us that Tyler is his best friend so he is going to practice blurting out, sneezing really loudly, and he is going to buy big pants and stop bathing!"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
HELP!! This is even how the other students view Tyler? lol!<br />
<br />
If I ever win the lottery....his teachers get a nice chunk! Partially to insure their silence and partially our of gratitude for their great attitudes!!<br />
<br />
Tyler, you are one in a million and we love you crazy big!<br />

She loves to be in the barn and working with the animals. On this particular night, yet another batch of baby pigs was being born so we stopped by to see. Tyler of course stayed in the car and read a book:/ pigs and his asthma don't get along very well. Kendra was so excited to be able to help deliver a baby pig!<br />

Well, it'a always fun when you're winning right? District sub finals took place in Richland and Ashley came away with a first place win in prepared public speaking and Brandi took third place in creed so they were pretty excited about that! A couple of weeks later the district finals took place in Prosser. Another great night for them. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ashley once again took first in prepared public speaking and Brandi pulled off a first place finish in creed. That means they both get to head to WSU in Pullman in May to compete at the state level! So fun for both of them to be able to go there and compete together. Especially since this is the only year that would even be possible. I hope to be able to head out there for at least one of the days while they are competing at state.<br />
