Mom's 60th
Better late than never. Mom's party was a lot of fun! We had a good turnout and we had more than enough food. That was a major stressor. Jen and I had never hosted a party before and we sweated the entire event. We have vowed to never do such foolishness again. he he! Well, we told Mom, if she was good, we'd have a 90th party for her. We better start planning now! Andrew and Alex spent the day at the amusement park. I think they had fun and I believe they stayed out of mischief. Either way, what I don't know won't hurt them. We ended up getting gorgeous weather although the shelter was swarming with bees. Chris spent the day creating bee-traps as he was one of the great white hunters in the group. He did a really good job of trapping but poor Helen got stung while eating. I don't believe there were any other casualties. Dave gave Mom some Depends adult diapers and some denture cream along with some other thoughtful gifts. His 'hideous' slippers didn't turn out as he had planned though because everyone loved them. Can't remember who got her the bright red lipstick but we made her put it on and she looked marvelous. Her cake was really nice although the picture turned out green. Leave it to Grandma to show up with a moldy cake!

Kids
Thought I would post some newer pics of the kids. Andrew is busy with school and cross country. He is in the 10th grade and the homework has increased considerably compared to last year. His cross country coach is so impressed with him that he has him running with the varsity team so that's pretty exciting! He's trying to talk me into letting him play hockey this year since he doesn't like the basketball coach. LOTS of money and time involved there so we'll see. Kaiti is doing so well. She has matured so much and is really getting to be quite the young lady. I'm very proud of her!

State Coed Touney
Well, we played our very last softball games of the year this weekend in Fargo. We recommend they hold the tournament in the summer next year. It was cold anyway but then we had to contend with an arctic blast too. Kind of hard to run bases in your snowsuits. Oh well. We ended up winning our first game, losing the second then coming back to win the final 3 games on Sunday. We took Roughrider championship! Hooray! So, despite the weather, it was a pretty good time. Now it's time to drag out the hunting gear. The boys have already gotten several geese in the early season but are looking forward to pheasant hunting. Everyone except Chris got shot down for buck tags this year but we have like 7 doe tags to fill. Joy! (I don't eat venison) I'm just looking forward to my nice quiet house on the weekends. he he! Good luck, Guys!
