Mr. and Mrs. Jayme and Heidi Mathews

Jackie and I were the hosts of the reception at Jayme and Heidi's wedding. As if a wedding is not exciting enough all on its own, this wedding was special because of Cheryl's presence and even her ability to dance with Bill after such a difficult start to the year.

Many people prayed that Cheryl would be able to be at the wedding. Our family is very grateful for the blessing of life.

The wedding was picture perfect and intimate.
Heidi and Jayme rode of from the wedding in a huge horse drawn carriage that pulled up along the candle lit drive.

Elkhart County 4H Fair Queen Contest

Every July, the Etsinger blood of the Eby family heads back to Elkhart County to the 4H fairgrounds. This tradition is very strong for Jackie and she has transferred that successfully to our children.

In 2004, Bethany finished in the top five in the queen contest. There have been many Etsinger girls that have done well in this contest over the years.

• Shirley in the 60's
• Cheryl in the 70's
• Jackie in the 80's
• Heidi in the 90's
• Stephanie (Bethany's sister holding the sign on the left)in the 2000's
• and now Bethany

I believe that all of them represented the Swine Club.

Becca cheers for Bethany, but she will likely not be able to carry on that tradition from her Kentucky home.
