It's Coming Soon . . . . . .

 March 24:

Graduation invitations went out this week.  Miss A is 34 days (not counting weekends or Easter break) from graduation.  

1st Prom

 March 23:

Miss E's first prom was at B-D school with her boyfriend, G.  She spent ALL DAY getting ready-but she was beautiful and had a lot of fun.

Sweet 16

 March 17:

We did her birthday stuff a day early. as it was going to be a busy Monday morning for her 16th birthday.  We had a birthday meal at Chances R and she opened gifts in the afternoon.  And, of course, there was cake for supper.

Busy Saturday

 March 16:

9 am was the pre-conference shoot at our home trap house.  E did not do well and was disappointed in herself, but it's ok.  As long as she enjoys shooting, that's what counts.

In the evening, this cheesy girl was auctioned off for labor (to her dad!) after helping with FFA boosters with the steak feed.

Fine Arts Night

 March 15:

This was Fine Arts Night at the high school.  Miss A had some art work on display from art class, then she performed a solo and a small group number.  Miss E had a solo and a duet.  I am very proud of the girls.

Relaxing Times

 March 12 & 13:

Just some "normal" things.  IC spent some time playing with the dogs and Miss A joined him.  I got to snuggle with Maple and read my book for awhile.  Maple is my snuggler, she comes to sit on my lap at night while I watch TV and she sleeps with me a good part of the night. There just isn't much time to do stuff like reading right now and I do miss the times when I was home with the kids and they were outside playing with the animals.  It was nice to see them outside the window like they used to do when they were little.

Saturday morning work

 March 9:

Saturday morning, we unloaded a very large load of cedar chip shavings for Miss E's cattle.  Dad, IC, JJ, E and I all unloaded them in about 1 hr. 45 minutes.  It went pretty smooth.

TobyMac

 March 7:

Miss A and I went during Winter Break to see TobyMac in Omaha.  It was an awesome concert!

The Lion King

 March 5:

The Tuesday that we got out early from school for Winter Break, the girls and I headed to Omaha to see The Lion King Musical at the Orpheum Theater.  We ate at a restaurant close by to the theater before we went to the show.  It was totally awesome!
