Dan and Dave turn 25

This past weekend, Dan's and Dave's joined us to celebrate their birthdays...which was May 25th. We all met at our house,

loaded the kids into their car seats,

And we treated the family to "Hog Wild Pit Barbecue". (that's what you eat when celebrating the birthdays of cattle ranchers...it's a guy thing)

After the meal, the men went to play some tennis..."No Ethan, that doesn't include you yet!"

Ethan stayed home and played...

and from what we could tell, he had a great time! Click play to watch Ethan "dance!"

Sarah...playing with the kids... this game is "jumping for graham crackers." Ethan and Esther discovered another "fun game" to play together..."touch me...push you" click play to watch the "one year old antics". (beware, this isn't a quiet game! adjust volume on your computer accordingly)

Esther decided that finding a nice safe place to read a book was preferable.Jonathan got some special attention from Sarah, and it made him absolutely giddy! click play to watch the clip of Jonathan...the giggle box.

The moms kept busy with the babies most of the evening.

Ruthy is sure growing up too. She smiles and gets so excited when someone talks to her! click play to see her active and smiling.

Once the guys returned, we had ice cream sundaes

Ethan could find a willing donor wherever he went!and more...
Esther didn't have much trouble finding donations either! She told us she wanted some "keem" (ice cream) with "daubbies" (strawberries) on top! Chris gave the guys some tools for their birthdays...he told them they were their new "hair clippers!" Haircuts may prove to be interesting at both Busenitz homes in the near future!Happy Birthday Dan and Dave. We love you both.

Dan, Rebecca, Esther, Ruth and James Busenitz

Dan farms and raises cattle on the farm they purchased this year, and he and Rebecca are actively involved in music ministry in their church. Dan plays the banjo and bass, and enjoys hunting, softball, singing, and conducting orchestras and choirs. Rebecca composes Christian music, and teaches lessons in volin, viola and piano. She enjoys cooking, sewing and caring for the home and family. She and Dan also have recently started a home-based business with the "Herbalife" company. Esther's job is to expand her vocabulary and take care of little Ruthy and James; little Ruthy's job is to be cute, and excited about everything that she sees, both of which she has mastered! James is the spitting image of his father, and is as sweet as he can be.

Dave, Rachel, Ethan, and Jonathan Busenitz

Dave farms and raises cattle with his father, as well as farming, and is a skilled woodworker and guitarist. Rachel, in addition to caring for the home and children, enjoys crochet, quilting, scrapbooking and music. Little Ethan stays busy keeping them both hopping. Little Jonathan Seth is growing, and has a contagious smile and such a sweet disposition. Rachel miscarried a baby last fall, who they named Jamie. However, the Lord has seen fit to bless them once more, with a little girl due on December 3rd, her grandmother's birthday.

Daniel Chaney and Amanda Gerlach

Daniel, after meeting with Amanda's father for 2 months, was finally granted permission to begin courtship with the girl of his dreams on July 1, 2009. Daniel is a Senior at Wichita State University majoring in Accounting and finance, with a minor in economics. Daniel enjoys courting Amanda...but much to his dismay, there are other things that he must do. Therefore, he also works with Samuel on their lawn business. Daniel was offered and accepted a position that will start in January with Kennedy and Coe Accounting Firm. He plays the cello, banjo, classical guitar and sings, and is trying his hand at choral conducting, like his grandfather. Amanda is an angel, and if you doubt me, you should hear her play the harp! She enjoys scrapbooking, cooking for Daniel, and courtship night. She is very creative and has a real flair for the artistic. Daniel and Amanda are now engaged, and planning an August 6th wedding.

Hannah Chaney

Hannah is a senior in high school this year. She enjoys playing the violin and fiddle, piano, and mandolin. She teaches 3 violin and piano lessons each week. She is also in the first violin section of the Youth Symphony this year. She enjoys her time at home playing with and training her and Samuel's dogs. She also recently obtained 2 horses, which she trains and rides often. She began working at a local stables this summer, helping to teach young riders, choring, and training the lesson horses. Her other interests include sports, photography, outdoor activities, teasing her siblings, and family/friend get-togethers.
