Wannabe Farmers

Thrasher! Dramatic much?

She was hoping there was a farmer boy driving this thing.

This is my favorite. That big bad boy will spread those side sprayer things out and glide across the field. They're also pretty impressive on the highway - pretty sure I can drive my hybrid under this monstrosity.

Meet and Greets

The Band Perry came out to the base on Sunday- all siblings and we think their mom drove them to the meet and greet. Hehehe! We saw them later at the fair and they were "working it"!
Autographs - Buckcherry

They are some kind of rock band and are performing tonight at the fair.

Total awesomeness.

Guess he wasn't allowed to touch the autographs...

Super nice guys - no idea what they sound like.

One of the guys called her "Sweetness". Her daddy wanted to know which one...

Cuties
That's a lot of Jacksons!

Cuties

Alicia and Ashley's new car.

Cuties

See that kid between the first and second buffalo? Um, the one behind the kid with the black shirt. Yeah, that's my boy.
Okay, see the girl over the double d in Middle? My kid is the one behind her that is looking backwards. Yep, that's mine.

Umkay... See the kid that is second to last on the left side. He's kind of standing out a little bit. Yep, that's the one.

And, last but not least - see the kid smack in the middle with his back to us? You guessed it - all mine!

We rearranged Alex's room yesterday and the kitties decided that they were going to sleep with him. Marshall usually sleeps with Alicia and Lily sleeps with us. I immediately sang the song,"Cheater, Cheater, Pumpkin Eater" when I saw Miss Lily dozing in Alex's bed.

We obviously had to alert Alicia to this grievous injustice! Alicia shared a few words with her beloved kitty.

If scolding doesn't work - maybe bribery will convince Marshall that he's sleeping in the wrong bed.

29 and holding!
Alex spends all of his free time outside. I wonder why?

It's May, I'm over it.

Alicia and the ferocious Lily.
The kitties alerted us to this magnificent bird that was about the size of Lily. It is an elusive gaming bird named the Chukar Partridge.

The other morning I felt the walls shaking. I peeked out the window to spot my kiddo and the middle school band marching through our neighborhood at 7:30 a.m. Alex picked up this extra duty assignment which has him practicing twice a week at the middle school. He'll be headed to Bismarck for a showcase of middle school bands in May. (It's good practice for the boy to get up early since he's been enjoying his 9 a.m. school start times for a few years.)
