Adam and Eli were up early and watched Clone wars.  Daddy and Adam went to town for Sat goodies.  Eli’s soccer game was at 11:30 and Adam’s was at 12:00.  We got there around 11:00.  It was chilly so we brought blankets.  Jared watched the first half of Eli’s game and then went to watch Adam play.  Their fields were next to each other this time which was nice.  I got to watch the second half of Adam’s game.  We stopped at Kohl’s to get some clothes and look at shoes for Jacob.  On our way home we stopped at Lavender fleece's open house.  This farm breeds Icelandic, Teeswater, and Leicester longwool sheep.  They also do spinning, weaving, pottery.  We had fun walking around the farm, looking at the pottery studio and walking through the shop.  We visited with the owners and they want to get together sometime.  At home we worked in the rams paddock making sure nothing was touching the electric fence, emptying the hay feeder and cleaning the water trough.  We found the rams bell and broken collar so Jacob helped me make a new leather strap for it.  We moved Oscar and Han back into the ram paddock.  Adam and Eli were excited to play in the sand in the ewe’s paddock.  We then caught the lambs and sheared their back ends so they were clean.  When we came in it was dinner time.  We watched the Munsters while eating.  This evening Jared, Jacob, and I played 3-13 and I won.  I was in the negatives the whole game!

 Eli loves his new spy glove!  We surprised him with it in a book order.  He also got the book I Survived the attack of the Grizzlies.  

Eli had soccer practice this evening.  We had roasted red potatoes from our garden with our dinner this evening.  They were yummy!  Adam played outside with a nerf gun and was actually wearing a sweatshirt.  It was cold outside today.  This evening we lite the brush pile that was in the garden.  We added a lot of cottonwood leaves and sticks to the pile.  Adam and Eli were running around playing in the dark when Eli started crying that he'd lost his new spy pen.  We searched for a long time and Jacob came out to help us search.  We found it in the kale in the garden.  He was so happy!  Daddy started reading Eli's new book to us at bedtime.

Eli made pancakes for breakfast

Working on Spanish homework

Jacob and I tied in 3-13!

 Adam had soccer practice this evening.  After they practice they always scrimmage with parents.  Eli loves to go so he can play.  It was a cold day but Adam still went in shorts and a t-shirt.  He was the only one not bundled up.

Here is the link to the news special on TNT dog center!

Wyatt on the News!

Eli got new shoes and dressed to match his shoes

 We got up at 4:30 because we had to be at the dog center by 5:15.  The News was doing a special on TNT dog center where we took Wyatt for puppy classes.  Our instructor asked if we could bring Wyatt for the special to demonstrate some things he learned in class.  We were early because they changed our time to 5:45 but we didn't get the email.  We sat and watched the agility demonstration.  A german shepherd puppy from another class also came.  We had a lot of fun!  Poor Wyatt kept shaking his head because I gave him a bath and must have got water in his ear.  Wyatt got a new toy for participating which he loves. We were home by 6:15.   We got ready and headed off to school.  Jared went to the market with the sheep.   It sure was hot and muggy today.  This evening Jared took Eli to soccer practice.  Adam played on the sandhill.  Jacob and I took Wyatt out to play with his ball.  The mosquitos were bad so we didn't stay out long.  Jacob, Jared, and I played a game of 3-13 and I won by 4 points.  Jacob came in second.

 Eli made cupcakes

Haha

On our walk home from the bus Eli found a baby snake.  He carried it home so he could show it to Daddy.  I packed lunches and Eli made some cupcakes.  Jacob got first chair again in band.  Adam and Jacob practiced their instruments and then played minecraft on the computer.  We ate dinner early because Adam had soccer practice.  Eli went to practice with them.  Jacob helped me get the lambs sorted and loaded on the trailer.  Tomorrow they are going to market.  Jacob was such a huge help and Daddy was surprised when he got home and it was done.  Jacob, Jared and I played a game of 3-13.  I won by 4 points.
