Ben finally had his last day of school. There was an awards assembly, games, and a bbq. He got quite a few awards this year; one for being on student council, one for excelling at gym, one for getting A's in math all year, another for reading all the "buckaroo" books(about 20), and also one for his reading points. We are so proud of him. He is excited to move on to 3rd grade and is happy he got the teacher he wanted!
Last night, Delaney had her preschool graduation. They sang songs and got to walk up and get a diploma. She was so proud of herself and we were proud too. In August she will be an official Kindergartner!!
Yesterday we celebrated our 6th anniversary. We borrowed our friends horses and went for a morning ride in the Peaks. The weather was beautiful. I didn't get too many pictures because I was on a young horse and she was pretty fresh. She wasn't too keen on standing still. We saw a herd of antelope, a large hawk, and even heard a rattlesnake. The horses didn't like that at all so we just kept moving. I couldn't think of a better way to spend the morning.
Grandma decided we were having Hat Night by the campfire. Everyone wore silly hats. The kids had so much fun (we did too). There are never any pictures of me because I am the only one who will take pictures, but I did have on a hat!
Ben is getting better each time he gets his BB gun out. He is learning how it works and how to prpoerly handle it. This summer if I can find a course, he and I will take Hunter Safety. I think it is a good class and even though he is young, he will learn a lot. Just like any other boy, he loves to go out and shoot with his dad. Ben likes that he is interested in guns and is trying to teach him how to be a responsible gun owner. I love to see them spending time together.
Last night was so nice. We all sat by the campfire and had marshmellows. The kids had quite a few, but I think Sam won the prize for most eaten! Laney talked a lot about the moon and stars. She was also making some wishes on them. This is the first of many that we will have this year. We all have so much fun sitting around the fire and chewing the cud....can't wait for the next one!
