Grabers Jeepin

We decided to sell our "favorite" truck.

Joe added the quotes as I was typing.

It really was my favorite truck.

We bought it in 2013, shortly after Dan made the decision

to farm full time so he got a farm truck.

Since then, we've driven this gem very little.

It didn't fit our family needs or mainly wants

any longer...so we sold it while it still had

low miles and great value.

And bought a new jeep!  We've already had much fun

in our new jeep - and after mama calms her fears a bit

she enjoys the ride, too.

Some boys were very excited about the new purchase.

And within days he had his practice driving in - all smiles.            

More pics of jeepin adventures soon!

Sam's Baptism

June 7, 2020

1 Thessalonians 5:18 

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Sam had come to us back in the fall of 19 and asked about getting baptized.

He was curious about instruction class with our church, so we got with church leadership

and he began studying and drawing closer to God.  

We are thrilled with Sam's decision to desire to be baptized and further his relationship with God.

It reminded me of the day we dedicated him to the Lord while we were in Guatemala

And the day we dedicated him at church when he made it home in our arms.

And many days of prayers and actions placing God in the forefront since those early days.

But, what a joy when the desire becomes his own.

Sam requested one of Grandma's famous cakes.

My people!

Sam spoke at church and it was very heartfelt. He even thanked Ed and Dave for having class.

We had such a nice gathering of family to support Sam.

They day was so nice! DH made some delicious pulled pork.

Graham was taking it all and I have a video

You get baptized?

On your head?

So so precious!!!

A day we will ever be thankful for.

Junior Prom in the Summertime

Thank goodness these two special kids in our life were able to have their Junior proms!

Dryce went with a friend Trinity to ND prom.  He called and wanted to meet up, I was excited to see them, we met a grandmas since we were headed to a wedding!

Great looking couple and report was they had a great time.

And I had the honor of making Jaelyn's junior prom flowers

again this year - they were due to same week of Joe's accident

so they might have gotten finished just in time

but she's easy going and probably wouldn't have cared if she didn't have them at all.  

I was working late and Sam came down to see what I was up to!

I loved the coral color.  

A picture with her brother Drew, love these high schoolers!

And with her date Jalen.
Jalen and Jaylen - been friends forever. 
His twin Jordan went with Jaelyn's friend Isabelle - classmates forever!

So pretty,

 Love these two juniors - now seniors big!!!
