This blog has been created by and for the Kinast Family. As we begin to grow and branch out, we thought it might be fun to create a place where we could learn and share about one another. In this blog, you will hear stories about funny situations we have been in, current status on family, things that have helped us to grow as people and other positive impacts that we have each experienced in our lives. So, sit back, take a few moments to relax, and learn about those you love who will always love and support you in your life...

Vicki here, for Tim, Erik and Samuel:


This is a picture of our snapdragons in front.  They have been quite pretty.

Here are my green beans - they really grew the last two days!

And here is one more of a couple of iris.  They are almost done.  They were really pretty this year.

So as you can see, I have been doing some yard work.  The fun kind:)  Now I have to get to the maintenance part.  Trimming trees and bushes (Tim does this one) and pulling weeds.

Tim has graduation tomorrow so we are hoping to see more of him.  I think he is ready for a break also.  They have had some personnel issues but it seems things are ending a good note.  He will have summer music camp the first week of June.  Samuel will attend also.

Samuel has about two weeks left of school.  He has his AP tests starting this week.  They played frisbee (now it's called Ultimate) today and continue to play as much as possible.  He took his solo to state and did a really nice job.  He had two memory slips so did get a II.  He says he is saving the I for his senior year:)

We brought Erik home Thursday evening.  He enjoyed his first year of college.  Has no big plans yet for summer as he will have his surgery May 24th.  For those of you who aren't familiar with this, he will have a stint placed in his uretur between the kidney and bladder.  He has a place where it is bulging out due to a kink or blockage of some sort.  The surgery is robotic and will be at the St Joseph campus since that is where the robot is.  He will have it in for six weeks.

We enjoy reading everyone's entries even though we don't always comment!   May you all have a good summer!
