matt the cowboy

We went to Swift Current's Frontier Days today to watch Matt show his steer. Here's what I know about showing a steer: nothing. But I do know that Matt worked hard and that was the cleanest and softest cow I have ever seen. And aren't those great qualities for all of us, including cows, to have?

Also, there were rides and ice cream at Frontier Days, so fun for everyone.

grad 2014

Well, Little Miss Rebecca graduated yesterday, a reality that I find both ridiculous and impossible. Because wasn't it just yesterday that I graduated with a very pregnant Michelle in attendance? No. I guess that was 18 years ago, and yesterday a very pregnant me attended Becca's graduation. Anyway, isn't she lovely? We know she will do amazing and fun things with the rest of her life and we're excited to find out what they are. We love you Becks!

For the record, here's Becca at my grad...

we are here

We're in Saskatchewan for the next two weeks, helping Papa, hanging with Grammie, and just generally making a lot of noise. Although not sure how much we're actually helping... this is the kind of farmer Henry turned out to be. Lazy. 

kindergarten grad

Today was Joe's last day of Kindergarten. Don't even ask how many times I cried about that. Next year, he's moving on from St. Dominic School to St. Mary School into the French Immersion program. He has the job of teaching me French, so we'll see how I stand up to Gr. 1 French vocabulary.

Here he is with his awesome teacher, Mrs. Atkinson. She wants us to name our baby "Baby Mrs. Atkinson" and we want her to never retire.
