Favorite day of the year- the 100th Cherry Festival!! Congrats to Kilian for being on top of the 15k podium!!!! Can’t touch this!!!

What else would we be doing on our 28 year wedding anniversary!!!! Thanks for putting up with me JULIE!!!!! Riverbank/ crashing Kenzie’s Prom!!!

Great weekend chasing the kids!!

When you go away to college too close to home!! Dad jokes still alive and well!! #GVSU #GVSUCrossCountry

Shipping your First kid off to college.. We may never see him again. Not the dorm life I remember (AC-WTH) 4.5 mile drive home was brutal!!!! #GVSU

Good day to be a Falcon! Kilian’s life long friend and classmate Jacksen Fitton passed away this year. Kilian told me he wanted to stand on the State Championship podium with Jacksen’s shirt on. This one is for you Jacksen. Never Forget!!

Good work Kilian-3 goals still posted in your room. Team State Championship/All-State/Run in College. You gave up a lot of normal high school activities- hanging with friends/Parties/sleepovers.Dedication and commitment second to none! PROUD! #GVSU

Allendale TEAM State Champions/ Individual All State-Goal Accomplished. More impressive for me was watching Kilian work through adversity. Ankle surgery slowed him down. Determination/Hardwork/Belief. Things that will take him farther than recent accomplishments. PROUD!!!
