Kindergarten Circus

Every year we have a Kindergarten Circus performance. The kids get dressed up and sing and do tricks. Delaney was a Trapeeze artist. She wore a pretty outfit and lots of make-up. Both of which I was supposed to help her with. When I got to the school, the kids faces had already been painted! I founf out that after some of the kids saw how the clowns got to have all that make-up, they wanted it too. At least they were happy. I would have more pictures, but I was trying to videotape so Ben could watch it when he got home. Enjoy.

First baseball game

Ben finally had his first game of the season. Some of the kids had a hard time with the pitching machine, Ben included. This is the first year they are using it. Still Ben is the fastest runner on his team and can throw from 2nd base about to home plate. He is enjoying this sport so much, we are too!

7 years already?

Well, today is our 7 year anniversary. Sometimes I can't believe it's been that long already. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful man in my life, for me and for my children. This year will be celebrated with a camping trip this weekend. We are all excited to get out of dodge for a couple of days. Now I will leave you with a couple pictures from 7 years ago today...

This picture is Ben with #6. He has been doing great with both of the sheep. He takes care of them twice a day and walks them both every day. The girl sheep is getting better about walking with us also. No more laying down. Yesterday we spent time out front with Ben riding his motorcycle and Delaney decided she wanted to take the training wheels off her bike. She did alright. She fell twice and was a little upset, but we are going to try again today when she gets home from school. Ben will be gone again this week. He will be in Laurel,MT. It will still be a busy week here, we have baseball practice and many school activities.

Finally home...

Ben finally finished up all his training yesterday. He did great on the test he took. Got a 98 out of 100! We are so proud of him. Now he will be working out of Greybull until another opportunity comes along. It is only 45 miles away, so not too bad. At least he will not have to be away all week for a while. He does get to drive back to Billings this weekend though. Leaving your wedding ring in the hotel room never goes over well! Thank goodness they still had it.
