We have had a busy April and May with all those "end of the year" activites for church, scouts, and school. Here is a picture of Alyssa and Michael at our church's Teen Banquet. They had a catered meal, a chocolate fountain, a Christian band, and a speaker for the evening activities. People from our church volunteered for roles as meal and hors d'oeuvres servers, valet parking attendents, and escorts. There was an awesome turnout of youth and our kids had a great time.
This is Emily on Laredo, her horse for the afternoon at the Winding River Girl Scout Equesterian Center. We were there for a mother-daughter horse fun day. Emily has loved horses for as long as I can remember--long before she ever rode one. And the more she rides, the more she wants one of her own! When she was little she never understood why we couldn't have a horse while living in town. We have one more Girl Scout ride set up for this summer and she's also going to take a few private lessons at Camp Woodland in Albany.
Matt is in the process of digging a trench to get our gutter downspouts buried underground and leading to the ditch. So for part of that he needed some gravel, so he had a pile of it delivered last week. Climbing on the pile and playing with his dumptrucks in it has been Eli's favorite thing to do lately. Well that and helping Dad dig in the mud...good thing he has gollashes! Oh and with every few shovel fulls of dirt they overturn a night crawler. Tell me how this boy can be so scared of tiny bugs (including lady bugs) but has no trouble picking up worms! Go figure!
