Well it is hard to believe that summer time is here. I still can't get over all the rain. I am actually starting to get tired of the rain and storms. The kids are having a good time this summer. Carlee has gone to volleyball camp and Tanner has gone to basketball camp already. Tanner was suppose to go to football camp Monday and Tuesday this week, but with the 2 1/2 inches of rain they rescheduled it for Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Carlee is still working her tail off with her steers. She is doing a very good job with them. She is learning a lot of responsibility and we are so proud of her. We had the Phipps Reunion this past weekend and got to see Joan, Jim, Deb, Curtis, and Missy. We haven't got to see them in quite some time - it was great to get to visit with them again. Missy graduated from high school this year. She has become quite the young lady, and it is exciting to watch her make her next chapter in life. How exciting. Yesterday we had the McKibben kids come over and boy did the kids have fun. They got to stay the night. Bert was nice enough to let them play outside in the cattle lot after the rain finally quit. I have to remind myself how much I love him. There is mud in places in my house that you can only imagine. (Of course there is some cow manuer in their too) Bert hosed the kids down before they went to the showers, but you just can't seem to get all of that off!!!
Tanner plays baseball in Nevada this weekend. He is excited, he has had two weekends off and he is ready to get back in to it! It seems that their team has really bonded since we went up t0 Overland Park to play. The kids had so much fun up there!!!
I have posted some picutres of the kids and their mud in the cattle lot. I have also posted a picture of Tanner with his new hair cut. We actually finished buzzing the rest of his hair. He just wanted to play a trick on Bert at first.
