Happy Saturday!


WOW!! It is hard to believe that we are at the end of May. The weather is getting nice. We planted a new apple and cherry tree today. I saw my first snake yesterday. I am so terrified of snakes that now I can't even go down below the house without looking for them all the time.

I got my new job the other day. I actually found out about it a couple weeks ago when they called, but had to wait till the offer was signed and returned to make sure. I am always so nervous about jinking it if I put it out there too soon.

Graduation & State Qualifier

Well Megan graduated from high school yesterday. It is so hard for me to believe that I have 2 children that have graduated already. Heck my oldest one will be turning 21 in just a few short weeks. Megan's graduation was great. Govenor Switzer spoke and it did a great job. He spoke about the best generation and the opportunity they have to be the greatest generation ever in defining the course this country takes in regards to technology and oil/gas exploration and dependence.

She looked great in her new dress, even though you couldn't see it under her graduation gown. But don't tell her that, she needed a new dress for the occasion. Last night they had the senior all nighter and she won an IPOD shuffle. She had a great time and came home very tired out this morning.

Tonight she has tennis practice than tomorrow they are off on the bus for POLSON. She took 2nd place in the Eastern "a" divisional tennis tournament and the top 4 players go on to State. She is so excited. She is coaching tennis lessons this summer and than will be starting college in the fall.

Sam and I will be leaving for Polson tomorrow. It is about a 10 hour drive and we are going to do it all in one day. So I will update next week with some pictures. I will try to get a graduation picture posted today.

Wow is it May Already



So it is May already. We had snow just the other night and several inches of much needed rain. It has been busy around here getting ready for graduation. Hard to believe Megan will be graduating from High school in just another 2 weeks. She has been traveling so much for tennis. When Amanda graduated, we did the party and everything. Megan's graduation is going to much more laid back. She will be gone to the divisional tennis tournament for 4 days before graduation and will get home late the night before graduation. I am hoping to be up there to watch her at divisionals so won't have time to clean the house for a party or anything. So we aren't going to do anything for her as far as having a party. Right after graduation they are so excited and busy running with their friends and the last thing Megan wants is to have to be home for a party. The senior all nighter party is that night after graduation. We are really hoping that Megan will make it to State Tennis meet this year again and than we will be leaving the day after graduation for Polson Montana. It is clear over on the other side of the state, about 10 hours drive away.

I am looking forward to warm weather this week. It is suppose to be in the 60's this week. I am hoping my rasberry plants come this week that I ordered several weeks ago. I want to get them in the ground and see if I can get them growing.
