This last 2 weeks have been really busy here for our family.  In the last 2 weeks I have been home for 3 days.  It was nice for us all to get out a little before calving starts in about a week.   After coming back from Lincoln NE We were home for a day to repacking, and spending some time with Grandpa ( Grandpa Leo and Janet was in ND for 10 day for a visit ).  Then Monday morning Dad, Jody, Janae, Paul, and I  left at 5:00 am for Bismarck.  From there Dad and Paul went on to MT for a bull sale and us 3 girls went out to Dakota Adventist Academy for the 2011 Music Fest.  I do have some more pictures to share with you and I will be putting them on the computer soon.  So for now God Bless! 

Bible Bowl trip to Lincoln

This past week from Thursday morning to Monday night we were on a road trip.  We left from our place at 8:00 am on Thursday morning to go down to Lincoln for the Mid-America Union Bible Bowl.  Mom and us 4 kids plus Some friends from our Church.  Josh and Emily the other 2 kids from our Bible Bowl team and Wendy (Josh's Mom) came along with us.  We had fun traveling with friends.  It always makes anything you do much more fun when you're with friends.

 Mom was a wounderful driver.

When ever we go to Lincoln we have to go to Fort West.  It is a huge western store. any thing you could want is in there

We were going to leave for home on Sunday morning but because of the storm that went through South Dakota closeing most of the interstates we stayed an extra day.  On Sunday we went swimming at the college pool

We stayed with Lynn and Lu Davis some friends of ours.  They have a Wii and since we don't even have TV they had fun playing some games on Caitlynn's Wii

Thinking spring

This last week we have been thinking that spring has finally sprung.  It is 45* out and everything is melting fast.  It is so nice to enjoy the nice weather.

Swimming with Sunds

This Last week We went down to  Rapid City of the Black Hills Stock Show!   It was lots of fun but It was even better because we got to see family down there and we got to take our friends Sunds with Us.

 They had a big water slide at the pool and We had tons of fun going down every way possible. 

Because your lovingkindness is better than life.  My lips shall praise You.

Bible Bowl

This past Saturday was the Dakot Confrence Bible Bowl at Dakota Adventist Academy.  We went up early Saturday morning and spent the day up at DAA.  At 2:00 p.m. the Bible Bowl started and we had 122 questions from the book of Revelation.  We had Josh Cook and Emily Bough along with us 4 younger ones on a team.  Our efforts were blessed and we tied for 1st place.  We were all really excited and will be going down to Lincoln NE on Feb. 19th for the Mid-America Bible.
