Who's In Rabbit's House?





Courtney and her class performed "Who's in Rabbit's House?" this afternoon. Courtney played the part of the frog who tries to help the rabbit (Hema). Her friends, Tyrell and Nate were also included in the performance.

Having Fun in the Sun....




The girls have been practicing riding bike in the neighbor's driveway. They've also enjoyed having friends over to play outside. Courtney's class is performing a play tomorrow afternoon. I will post pictures later. I think she is playing the part of a frog. She is receiving a reading award on Friday during their May awards assembly. We are very proud of her! Kelsey will be finished with pre-school on the 15th. I am going with the class to Storybookland in Aberdeen for their field trip.

We are going to meet mom, dad, Tim, Deb and crew in Sioux Falls on Sunday to celebrate Mother's Day. We hope everyone is having a good week!

Prom 2008




The girls and Eric are attending Prom at Tiospa Zina this evening. He volunteered to chaperone the dance. Once the girls become tired, he'll bring them home or I'll drive out and pick them up. Kelsey would probably stay until midnight if we let her:) Here's how they looked before the big event...

A Dust Storm or Snow?


As we face the possibility of even more snow for tomorrow, I thought I'd pose the question what would you rather experience a snow storm or a dust storm? Jimmer sent me this photo from Iraq. He said this was the view outside his office building the other day. I think I prefer the snow-it's cleaner and it melts:)
