Our Visitor

We've had a problem with raccoons lately and the other night Colt was going nuts so Matt went out to see in hopes of getting a coon. He looked down the hill right next to the house and about 50 yards away was a black bear. He hung around down in the meadow for about 45 minutes...not really in a hurry to go anywhere. The kids thought it was pretty cool to get to see him in his own environment. He was just wondering around, turning over rocks and tree limbs, looking for food. Every once in awhile, he would look up to see what we were doing, then go about his business.

Only once did he think about coming up the hill, but Colt was quick and put the bear up a tree, then he came down and just kept wondering along.

Helping the neighbors

The other day we headed up the hill to go help the neighbors brand. I didn't get a whole lot of pictures, but did manage to get these...

I like this picture because Matt and Dustin are making the exact same face!!!!

School Play

The kid's put on a very cute music program for the parents this year. I can not express how happy we are that the kids are now a part of this school! It has been so great for them!

Dustin and his classmates performed a recorder concert. He was pretty nervous but he did good!

Memorial Day

The whole week before Memorial Day...it snowed :( Which wouldn't have been a big deal except we had planned a big BBQ and had about 50 people coming over. Luckily, the weather broke and it didn't snow or rain!!! The boys couldn't resist playing in the mud with their dirtbikes...

The men hanging out around the cooker...

Overall, it was a really good day! Matt did a great job on the briskets, we got to visit with friends, and it didn't snow!! These 2 little boys were so funny...I had to share this picture!
