Clipping the sheep

Well, today was the big day. We started by giving the sheep a bath. They really didn't like it too much. After they were mostly dry, we got busy. I put the clippers together and went to work. It was not as difficult as I thought it would be. I have body clipped horses before, but they are not as low to the ground as the sheep! They were not very happy about the whole situation, but they did pretty good. I think they turned out pretty nice. Here are just a couple of pictures from the day.

The new do

After asking and asking, Delaney finally got the haircut she wanted. Daddy said it was alright so we went to the salon. She had a great time. She even had enough hair to donate to Locks of Love!

Silly kids

Here is a picture with me and both of the kids, finally. Laney and I were goofing around because we bought new lipgloss so we took a couple of pics. They are silly, but I hope you like them!

Big Birthday Boy!

Well, this post is a little late but, we had a nice time with Ben on his birthday. He was scheduled to work out of town all week, but the kids and I got in the car and drove to Thermopolis to be with him for the evening. We had a great dinner at the Safari Club. Mounts everywhere! The kids liked the big fish with the antlers. After dinner, we walked around in the park before bedtime. I think everyone had a great time.

Campfire

It is so great that we can have a campfire any time we want right in our backyard. The kids like to roast marshmellows and tell stories while sitting by the fire. Here are a couple of pictures from our last fire...

Fun at the gun range

We all decided to go to the range and fire a few rounds. Ben wanted to sight in one of his riffles and Ben Jr. and I were practicing with the pistol. This was his first time shooting it and he did great. Hopefully I will be able to take him with me soon to get our Hunter Safety class done. Before long he will be going on hunting with dad!

Updates

Things have been so busy I haven't had a chance to post for a while. The last week of school was crazy! I went on a field trip with Delaney's class to Beck Lake. I had a group of kids and we went to different stations and did crafts, played games and found bugs. We also had a BBQ and more games! Such fun, but I was wiped out by the time we got back to school. That night we also had a baseball game. Ben's coach was out of town so his assistant was in charge. This worked well until he was called out on a fire and had to leave! Well, Ben stepped up to the plate and whipped those boys into shape! He did a great job, I was so proud. The next day was a picnic in the park with 3 schools worth of kindergartners! It was fun, I got a lovely sunburn. Last day of school was filled with awards, class assignments, BBQ, and relay races. It was fun. The kids both got all A's and B's on their report cards! So great. Now I will leave you wit a few pictures.
