Saw Smokey the Bear!

We had our county fair and enjoyed lots of; food, rides, games, and a parade. We also had the workers and Caden convinced them to play baseball with him, Aaron, Jordan, Dustin, and Dan. Then we spent some time in Fargo and had a b-day party for Caden at Chucky Cheese. I will add those pictures next.

Some New Pictures

Bretta and Auntie Da'shon

My fave picture of the kids sleeping at a hotel

on our trip. They were sooooo tired:)

Family Picture

Kids hiking in Glacier Park.

This was a common scene, as Caden has to go

to the bathroom more often than a pregnant lady does:)

I haven't posted in a while....

Here's Bretta being lazy. We have been trying to
kick the thumb sucking habit, but....



Bretta and Caden at the Teacher of the Year Banquet

My favorite Bison Fans, making art projects during

my evening ALC classes. They have been attending

since Aaron has baseball practice.

Aaron getting his "Diamond" from the President of Education MN.

It is a little clear triangle on a base, but Bretta and Caden

call it "Dad's Diamond" If it were really a diamond...I would have

already sold it:)

We have been really busy and I am looking forward to school getting out next week, even though I am teaching summer school the first three weeks of June. I have lots of plans for projects around home this summer... I always have lots of plans and only get about half of them done.

The Circus was FUN

Auntie Cynthia bought for him.


Payton and Auntie Kendra ( doesn't she look
great? down 60+ pounds)

Bretta enjoyed the show.

The kids and I went to Fargo after school on Friday to stay at the hotel with my parents and Trav, Cynthia, and Payton. We had a great time, but Bretta and Caden didn't go to sleep till after midnight and were up on Saturday at 6:15 AM. They were ready to watch cartoons, UGG.

By the time the 2:00 circus was over, they were exhausted, so was I, but I had to drive home yet. We got home at 10:00 PM to Roseau and went straight to bed. Aaron went to the Twins game with the Roseau baseball team and then their team played in the dome on Friday night. We watched from the motel in Fargo and saw aaron on TV (in the background). He had an exhausting weekend too. Their game was played after the Twins game and they didn't get back to their hotel till 3:00 in the morning. Sunday we had meeting and gospel meeting, so no nap. I think I will be tired all week:)

KIDS Say the funniest things.

Caden was asking me this morning what kind of worker Tom is (Tom Mason). What he means is what does he do for a job? I told him Tom is a truck driver. He then proceeds to tell Bretta, "Tom is a truck driver, mom and dad are teachers, Grandpa Gary and Grandpa Paul are farmers, and Grandma Patty is a shopper..." At that point I began laughing and explained that Grandma Patty actually has a job...not just shopping. Just so you know Patty, the kids don't think you work, you just spend money:)
