Gracie's First Soccer Game

 Ok, I don't know why its doing this but these are out of order a little bit again! We signed Gracie up for soccer and she is loving it!
 This was the night of her first practice. She had her mouth guard in and wouldn't take it out. She loves that thing, even though I kinda messed it up!
 Gracie's blue team and her coach!
 Go Gracie Go!
 She is actually pretty good at it and made around 4 goals in her first game.  Here she is up against one of her best girl friends, Paxton.
 Its really laid back approach. They don't keep score. Heck, all you have to do is kick the ball into ANY goal.
 She was getting pretty competitive and trying to grab at kids arms and pull them back so that she could get to the ball.
 Here she's telling Paxton, "Good game".

Gracie is our #1 soccer girl!

Chopping Wood!

 We attempted ax chopping wood for Dad new grill he made.  I guess he's going to get a new ax for Father's day cause all he had were really old ones.  Clint's first couple chops below and the ax was broke.

 So, we decided to put a new handle on an old ax.
 Dad is telling us how to put the ax onto the handle.
 Then, Colleen tapped in the wedge so that the ax handle would be tight inside the ax.
 Try it out Colleen!
 Whoops, out of order! Then Dad sharpened it up!
 Just right!
 This process could've been a tv program.  Watching green people try and do things the "old" way and then watching Dad fix the ax = pretty entertaining.
 Got it done - well Dad did most of it.
Hoff was a crazy ax swinger - remind me to hide any axes around this place or the next time we get in an argument, it might just be off with her head.  Not really - just kidding.

Easter 2013

 Gracie was all about getting her picture taken with the Easter bunny.....
 Evie, not so much.  This is her picture with the Easter bunny - he's far away.  We hunted at the Ashland High School and in Genoa.
 Clint is helping out Papa with our Easter steaks on the new grill he crafted.  It worked out really well. Good job Dad!
 Easter at Grandpa and Grandma Hofmeisters!
 The Hofmeister girls with their balloons and colored mouths!
The Lund cousins. Another great Easter, just wish it would've been warmer!
