I dropped the boys off at school and then waited in the van until it was time to head into work.  As I was walking in I noticed that I had worn my old dirty barn crocs to work.  And of coarse the district manager was there this morning.  I told them and before they had time to notice and they all laughed. I guess I just had to laugh with them.  Logan and Gavin came over again for a couple hours.  They went home and then came back for another hour so they could swim in the pond with Adam and Eli.  Jacob was in his room most of the evening except at dinner because he's reading his book.  Jared and I sheared Frannie.  Then we took a walk in the woods.

Miss Connie gave Eli two bags of skittles!

Dead man's fingers

Jared and a coworker left this morning for work in Canada.  After school the neighbor boys Logan and Gavin came over to play.  They played outside with nerf gun and them came inside to play.  I worked outside pulling weeds and putting preen down.  I sent the boys home and so we could eat dinner and then we headed to soccer practices.  Adam and Eli's practices both start at 6:00.  I dropped Adam and Jacob off at park a little early and then headed to Eli's practice which was at the soccer complex.  I gave the boys some money so after practice they could walk to 7 eleven for drinks.  Daddy made it back on time to get the boys from practice and we made it home around the same time.  This evening Jared and I sheared Blanch.  Her wool is so clean and really nice!  We took a walk in the woods after cleaning up from that job.  Eli walked with us.

Jacob, Adam and Eli's 4H lambs

Eli had a field trip to the capital and the museum.  I took Jacob and Adam home and worked in the woods for a little while before heading back to school to get Eli.  The buses got there around 4:45.  We stopped at McDonalds for goodies.  After dinner Jared and I sheared Millie and Della.  Then we went for a walk in the woods with Eli.  He talked alot about his field trip and sounds like he had a great time.

Adam fell in the pond. 

Adam worked on his new lego set this morning.  It was nacho day at work today and it was very busy.  Adam finished his lego set after school and sent Nana a picture of it finished.  I took Eli to soccer practice at the park and took a walk with Wyatt.  Jared took Jacob to the high school for a meeting but we were off on the date and it is not until next week.  Eli played tag with the kids on the playground after the game.  At home we all took a walk in the woods.  The boys were playing by the pond and Adam fell in.

This is Della's lamb Anna.  She still has the black spot on her neck.  

Waiting for the parade to start.

Jacob playing in the marching band

Jared and I took a walk in the woods this morning.  Back inside I baked some cupcakes.  Then Jared and I worked on shearing sheep.  We sheared 3 of last years lambs, Ada, Anna, and Grace.  We came in to get ready for the Memorial day parade in Sanford.  Jacob is playing with the Meridian marching band.  Adam and Eli got lots of candy.  We headed to the campground around 3:00.  Vikki and the kids were there too.  Today we are celebrating Jacob and Adam's birthday with Nana and Papa.  It was cool and the fire felt nice.  The boys rode bikes and played at the playground. We cooked hot dogs, potatoes, and burgers on the fire.  After dinner we sang to the boys and had cupcakes.  Jacob got a iTunes card and Adam got a minecraft lego set.  Thank you Nana and Papa!!  We got home around 8pm.  It was raining.

Happy Birthday Jacob!

Adam came into our bedroom during the night and slept on the floor.  Then Eli came in this morning and lay on the hope chest until it was time to get up. We woke Jacob up at 6am per his request. He opened his birthday presents right away. He got some color changing lights bulbs, a lego set, bluetooth speaker,  an all steel zebra pen, books, glowsticks, and a candy bar.  He put together his lego set and we listened to music on his new speaker.  Nana called to talk to the birthday boy.  After church we got pizza, breadsticks, and pops.  After lunch Jacob and Eli played mincraft on the computer.  We took a walk in the woods and the sat on the swing.  Jacob played some music on his speaker.  Went inside and played a game of 3-13 (down and up).  Jacob was the big winner. We took another walk outside and Wyatt found a box turtle. This evening we grilled hot dogs/bratts for dinner. We sang to the birthday boy and had cake/ice cream. This evening we watched Captain America.  After the movie we went for a walk in the woods and then sat on the swing.  I moved over so Eli could sit on the swing and right after Eli took my spot a bird pooped on him. We tucked Adam and Eli in bed and Jacob stayed up with us and watched Dick Van Dyke.  We had a great day celebrating with our 14 year old!
