4-H

This year the kids were in the K-3 4-H program again. It is for kids who are not yet old enough to sign up for 4-H. The program gives them an overview of different projects that they will be able to be in. This year I was asked to sign up as a leader, so I did. I am in the middle of my online training and will be attending a couple of workshops next year. I am happy that my kids want to be involved, 4-H tought me so much and was great fun. I hope that my children will enjoy every minute of it.

Riding lesson

A couple weeks ago, I gave the kids their first riding lesson. This was so exciting for me. We were able to use our friends horse, old Bob. Ben took to it like a duck to water, I was very suprised and proud. He rode all by himself and was able to do quite a few things without any trouble. Didn't hesitate even once, it was great. Laney was a little scared to ride by herself, so I rode with her. She had lots of fun. They can't wait to go back!

Halloween

This year the kids had lots of fun. Ben was an Army Sniper and Laney was a princess again. We didn't do much trick or treating, but we did go to a carnival in town. The kids played games and got lots of candy. They also had a good time carving pumpkins. Since they are still a little small to use the knives to carve their pumpkins, they drew the face that they wanted on the pumpkin and we cut it out for them. I think that they turned out great.

Best friends

Laney and her best friend Sami. They met last year, their brothers are friends as well. The girls go to school together this year. They love to play together and spend as much time as possible dressing up and putting on make-up. Such fun!

Zoo Montana

On the 14th, Laney and I went with Ben's class to the zoo. The kids had a great time. They learned about the rain forest and how people effect the animal habitat there. We walked around and saw eagles, a tiger, porcupine, red pandas, big horn sheep, otters, peacock, and a wolf. The zoo was small but beautiful. All the woodland paths made for a lovely walk. We can't wait until the next field trip!

Delaney is 4

Laney had a great birthday. She got a new bike, lots of clothes, dress-up things, books, and more. Thank you to everyone!

First day of preschool

Laney was so excited for her first day of school. She woke up real early and ready to go. Her grandma Hot-Rod was here visiting and went with us for her first day. She absolutely loved it!
