My Dad a top the tractor of a friend from his church. He really enjoyed that ride especially after the days in Sioux City.

Pictures from the Iowa Cubs Game

Jael seems to be enjoying the game. How could she not on her mom's lap.

Even though it was after Jr. Girls camp, Beth still had the energy to cheer on the Cubs!!
What a great brother and sister!!
Eli's shy like smile.

We were able to go to the Iowa Cubs double header on June 28 with my parents and brother's families and Keith's brother Kent. I hope you enjoyed the pictures of our great evening. We were the only ones who stayed for the fireworks after the games. They were fun, but we were ready for naps on Sunday.

Getting ready for Jr. High Camp

It was very hot today, but the kids and I got the house clean (at least the main floor) and then were able to go to the pool. It truly cooled us off. Our pool pass was truly a great investment. Chris is packed to go to Pella and Beth is almost done. We are getting up early to go to the Summer Fest parade in Ankeny, then to Pella. I've actually started packing for Jr. High camp. That's kind of amazing as the last few years I haven't packed until Sunday. Please be in prayer this next week for me, Keith and Aaron Barfels as we counsel. Also Pastor Scott Owen is speaking in the evenings. I have 5 girls from my church and I'll get 4 more girls from somewhere else. Keith and Aaron have 7 boys from our church and 1 cousin.

A New Nemec in January

In case you haven't heard we are going to have a new baby in January. The kids at first were a little hesitate, but now they are excited. I had to go in for an ultra sound and the lady said ," There is only one that's a good thing, right?" I said not really I was hoping for 2 so this one won't have to grow up alone.
Beth had a great time at camp! Her and Chris have decided that Jr. Camp is better than Family Camp as you don't have your parents around. I'm ok with that as I always got homesick so I'd rather have them be this way.
I'm still trying to recover from Talents for Christ. We stayed up way too late. It was exciting as Daniel got 2nd place in Violin and our dramas were only 1 point difference in 2nd and 3rd.
Last week I was able to go with my brothers and parents to my grandma's visitation and funereal in Sioux City. My sister and her family also came. My kids were able to stay part of the time with Sherry, Johanna and Tim.
I got back in time to go to Huxley for the BBQ they were having and the fireworks. On the Fourth we traveled to Pella. Chris and I were in the parade handing out candy for my parents' church. Then we missed the band concert , but made it in time for the fireworks.
This week it is just way too hot and sticky to do much of anything. I do need to get the kids packed to go to Pella this weekend as we are off to JR. High camp to counsel. I hope we can get to the pool a couple of days, too.
