More of our Nebraska visit

Surrounded by all these handsome guys...what a way to start out!?!


She loves her grandma, look at that smile!


I was trying to get a burp and she fell asleep, look at those bulldog cheeks!


She has Uncle Kaleb wrapped around her pinkie!


Since Heath told me she was his little monkey, I thought this would make a nice blanket.


Shelby helped dress Katie.


Grandpa just could not get enough of her.

What a precious face!

Pretty Miss Katie

Giving her Momma a hug....sweet!

These were taken on Heath's cell phone early Sunday evening.

It turns out Katie has an enlarged heart and some of her organs are immature so she will be spending some time in the NICU.

It's a Girl!!!!

I am SOOOOO happy to announce the arrival of Katie Lynn Rippentrop. Heath & Lois went in for a check up today and the doctor said that there was no more room for baby to grow so it had to come out. So they prepped her for a c-section and Katie Lynn joined the world of air breathers. She is spending the night in the NICU due to low blood sugar. With Lois being on insulin for the gestational diabetes. Due to not being prepared for staying Lois' phone battery died and Heath phone is acting up so I have not yet seen a picture of the beautiful face. She is 9 lbs and 20" long..with what I was told to have a nice head of hair.

Camp Chetek

Here is how they shower at camp after game time. Garrett is in the back. Jake Kibler is in the front. Thank you Casey for the fun pictures!

The boys in his cabin. Myles is on his shoulders and Luke in his shades in front of him.

Bar-B- Que Die hard

Garrett called it! When we were going to start dinner last night he said "I think the second we get ready to put them on the grill it will downpour." So he stood in the house with his (or Levi's) raincoat on waiting. He was right, but he did it anyways and I think he had fun too. Of course it stopped shortly after he came into the house. Oh, and yes the brats were delicious!!

Graduation
