What fun

I tell you what this has been an exciting week. We have a new goat, a new pig, tornadoes and storms going through the town. It has just been different. We have had practices and homework a lot this week. We did get to go to Conner's first t-ball game. Oh my goodness we had so much fun with that! I truly enjoyed watching those little kids play in the dirt. It was cute - Conner played 3rd base and he even enjoyed playing in the rocks. I loved to watch him run because you could barely see his legs from his shirt tail hanging out. Cracked me up! I don't think there was a quiet person there - to much fun. Conner did a good though!! Tanner has had practice twice this week getting ready for some tournaments coming up. While Tanner has been at practice I have had the joy of taking care of his goat "Rubic". Last night I was out with the goat most of the evening. My goodness I have never laughed so hard at an animal in my life. Tiger my dog and Rubic were playing chase all through the yard. It is great.

On Saturday Tara and Bob brought their kids out to see the goat and pig. Well it decided to storm and we got a lot of rain. Tanner, Payton, and Carlee decided to play out in the mud and rain puddles. The kids had a great time. I have put some pictures below, so you can see how much fun the kids had together. Wow if only we would pay closer attention to God's creations and how much fun they are instead of taking them all for granted. I have taken so many things for granted and last night I really had time to think about it all. God has created so many things for us to appreciate, why do we rush so much and not allow ourselves the time to appreciate everything he has done for us.

Now you tell me that they didn't have fun playing in that mud. Oh my goodness their clothes were a mess. Actually the t-shirt that Tanner has in his hand ended up in the trash because I couldn't get it clean.

New Member

Tanner and Bert are on their way home from Oklahoma with a new member to add to our family. Tanner is going to show a goat this year at the fairs. I am sure you are all very surprised to know that he is getting a goat. Tanner called me and he is so excited. I am excited to see him. I am sure that this goat and him will be very good buds by the weekend and they will probably be attached together by the time summer gets here. I guess the goats name right now is Rubic. Bert told me that the mamma goat died and the rancher's daughters were feeding it by a bottle. I think that it is pretty spoiled!!! I will try and get some pictures of the goat and Tanner together, so everyone can see him. This is going to be a new experience I am sure!!!!

Fun Times

Carlee's last track meet is tonight. Bert, Tanner, and I will be traveling to the meet. Tanner is all excited wanting to know who all is going to be there. You would think he was going to a pro baseball game. Carlee will also have her last cattle show on Sunday in Springfield until July comes around. I think she is a little disappointed that the showing is coming to an end for a while. Tanner plays baseball in Nevada this weekend. It looks like his team is in a tough pool, but he seemed really excited and is ready to play hard. He said that all of his team really hit the ball last night at practice, so hopefully they will be ready! There are 16 teams in the tournament - I am not sure that we have played in this large of a tournament before. It ought to be fun for the boys.
Please remember Koen in your prayers tomorrow morning when he goes to get his tubes put in his ears. He is going to feel so much better, I am excited for him to get them in!
