Fun pictures!






The boys built replicas of the Nile river but they were washed out in a major storm last weekend. Cody and Hugh have a hard time keeping sleeves or shirts on it seems. Brenton came home beyond muddy from the last few games he reffed. Liam is learning how to workout on the treadmill for when the high temperatures don't go above twenty, I don't know how he is gong to get his dog into that program though! And last but not least our amazing goalie at his last club soccer game. Too fun! Ok so the pictures are in the reverse order of my commentary. I will perfect my blogging skills at a later date. For now I am just happy to get something posted!

Too much fun!



Life here has been busy as always. Lots of life type decisions being made such as which college, which major, which photo for the yearbook. All the important things. But seriously we have been that good kind of busy that wears you out and makes you smile all at once. So here is the run down. Soccer season is over for a few months so we actually see Brenton before 9 at night, and Cody is back to working whenever he can with his Grandpa Jr. which is a huge good thing in my book. Half of the lambs have been sold (the kids had to deal with their first bad check experience but it turned out well), the ewes are off meeting with the bucks at the ranch, the other half of the lambs are eating lots and waiting to go to market soon! The two pygmy goats have been dehorned and we will never go thru that again. Don't ask even I was queasy about that ordeal and I never get queasy! Home education is rocking along though I still can't master Latin so Moira is taking that over. Cody has been accepted to Utah State and given a two year tuition scholarship, if he moves his ACT score up by one point he will get four years so we are studying! Liam is waiting to start basketball and considering a return to Irish dance as is Hugh though he refuses to even discuss playing basketball. Moira has a new project a ten day old Nigerian Dwarf goat, he is smaller than the cat! She is in love with the thing and bottle feeds it every four hours and spoils it rotten. Hugh is busy being Hugh and that is just great! Brenton is building a goat and bum lamb palace complete with insulation and wiring! He does nothing halfway that man! So life is good and we are so grateful to be a family even when there is too much laundry and not enough time. Have a happy weekend!
