Schedule

 

March 30, 2013 - To us, Easter and Basketball go together like peanut butter and jelly.  You can't have one without the other. 

88:365

 March 29, 2013 -I love love love getting to spend time with Shelly and the girls.  They are some of my very favorite people in the whole wide world!

85:365

March 26, 2013 - Tyler has been sick with pneumonia so the kids and I have been playing checking on the cows for him. 

83:365

March 24, 2013 - For the little boy who used to be afraid of cows, Jeffrey is sure a good helper for his Papa Dale and Daddy.

82:365

March 23, 2013 - Macy got to pick out a new outfit at JC Penney this weekend.  She couldn't wait to take a picture to text to Grandma Robyn.

80:365

March 21, 2013 - Hopefully our cold weather and snow doesn't confuse all the geese that are heading north!

79:365

March 20, 2013 - I got my picture hung up in the kitchen.  I like the look of it by Macy's play kitchen...but does anyone have a suggestion for what to do with thermostats?

78:365

March 19, 2013 - We had our annual Sioux Township meeting tonight!

76:365

March 17, 2013 - Bracketology!

77:365

March 17, 2013 - Tyler played in the Ryder Scholarship Tournament in Froid, MT this weekend.  The kids and I had fun watching him play, but his team didn't place. 

74:365

March 15, 2013 - To us, March is basketball season.  Sure, we would like to think that it is springtime, but let's face it, we always get snow in March. 

73:365

March 14, 2013 - I didn't actually take this picture today, it was earlier in the week, but I used a different picture for that day and really wanted to show people an extreme case of how people are living in our area.  This is a camper that I drive by on my way to work everyday.  Western North Dakota has an extreme housing shortage and people are living in campers in the winter.  This is one way to block out the cold and wind. 

72:365

March 13, 2013 - I saw this picture in Fargo at Scheels months ago and had to buy it on the spot (which is not like me at all).  I finally decided to get it hung up and I'm happy with where it is. 

71:365

March 12, 2013 - Jeffrey noticed that our calfy number 2 was out in the pasture as soon as he got off the school bus today.  We had to go and immediately check out the little one.

70:365

March 11, 2013 - More stuff I finally hung up.  The painting is of my great-great uncle Dewey at a fishing camp in Canada.  It was painted by my great-grandma Eva, but given to me by Dewey and his wife, Mavis.  The oil lamp was my Grandma and Grandpa Spitzer's.  I have wanted to hang it up for years, but finally got around to it.  I think I need to get a pedestal or something for the plant, but decorating at my house is always a work in progress.

69:365

 March 10, 2013 - I don't even have words for today.  I'm just saving them up for a blog post, I guess. 

68:365

March 9, 2013 - It snowed this week which meant that my boys were able to go for one more ride this winter.  I hope that's the end of the snow and they can move on to baseball or something else!

67:365

March 8, 2013 - Guess what snowbirds arrived back north today!!!  Macy was hugging Grandma Robyn and told her, "I just can't let go of you!"

66:365

March 7, 2013 - Our first calf of the spring was born today!

65:365

 March 6, 2013 - It's a slow process, but I have been working on actually putting stuff on my walls.  I know what I like when I see it, I just am not very good at buying it and definitely not good at putting it all together.

64:365

 March 4, 2013 - Jeffrey has been asking for a pair of cowboy boots for at least two weeks now.  He is worrying that if he doesn't keep bugging us to get some, he might not have them in time for branding (which is normally around the first of June).  Well, Jeffrey got to go to Miles City with Papa for a bull sale and they stopped and bought some new Wranglers and some new cowboy boots.  Jeffrey was one EXCITED boy!

I tried taking a picture of them and couldn't get my light right at all.  I was on manual the entire time and tried several different white balances and ISO shots, but I don't love how any of them turned out.  I decided I'm going to try again tomorrow with some sunlight coming in the window versus only house lighting at 10:00 at night. 

63:365

March 3, 2013 - Just after we get a little tease of warm weather and mud, the snow piles right back up!  Gotta love North Dakota in the spring time. 

62:365

March 3, 2013 - Macy got to go to KennaDee's (who was also seen on my POTD here) birthday party today.  These two have been in daycare together for the past four years and are great friends.  Too bad they will be in different schools for Kindergarten.  Darn state line!

61:365

March 2, 2013 - Tyler and I went out to eat, to Walmart, and to a movie (Identity Theft, it was hilarious!) with Josh and Shelly this evening.  I took my camera along and everything so that I could get a picture of Shelly and I together...but I forgot to take a picture.  So, here is a much less exciting picture of a pile of groceries that didn't have to be put away right away when we got home.

March 1, 2013 - Guess what we are going to do tomorrow?
