Homecoming for Christian

Christian asked a cute girl named Breanna to Homecoming this year. Christian planned, carried out, and executed the asking all by himself. I didn't help nor was I involved.

That, my friend, is illegal.

Here is how he asked her. He bought a pin'ate and some candy "reisens". This is what he said..."I'll give you 14 "reisens" to go to Homecoming with me. I thought that was especially cute. Since I wasn't involved I don't have any pictures...(cough..cough) But Breanna came over last night and answered him. She wanted to decorate his room... Yes I was involved so I took some pictures.

HER ANSWER:

She had a bunch of balloons and candy on his bed.

Can you see the look of surprise on his face?!! He had no idea that she was coming over. Her mom called and talked to me and asked that he be taken somewhere while Breanna came over to decorate his room. Christian did a whirlwind of a job (it was already pretty clean) but neglected to make his bed. The only place she wanted to decorate. So we all made his bed real fast. Christian popped all the balloons in about 22 seconds but didn't think that he'd have to find any papers. Popping the balloons that fast threw any sort of paper all over the place. Which made it that much more fun to find.

It could have been "No way Jo"S"e."

And there you have it.

Sheep Dog Fun

For Labor Day we went to Midway to enjoy some sheep dog herding. I would recommend that to anyone. They boys got bored real fast and I could have stayed longer...Here are some fun shots of the dogs. I also watched some dogs herd some ducks. That was fun.

The dog was let go and had to run up a mountain side to fetch the first batch of 8 sheep on the "first lift". Bring them through a gate and down to a certain point.

Here is another activity that you could watch. That was fun too.

Next the border collie ran up on another side of the mountain and fetched another set of 8 red collared sheep, guide them through another gate and bring them to the first group of sheep.

Then the dog gathered all 16 sheep and brought them to the farmer. To get the most points you had to keep 5 red collared sheep and discard the rest. The sheep like to be with their friends so they always wanted to run to the other group. The dog's job was to keep the sheep in front of the farmer. The farmer would select the ones and try to separate them to another section of the yard.

Tyler's a Keeper

We'll keep Tyler but he's also a great goal keeper. Here are some pictures of him in action. I believe the score of this game was tied.
