March 31, 2013 - Macy's first love might be her Daddy, but her second love is Greg!  Oh ya, and the old guys took 1st place again!

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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!"

 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.

 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.

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!

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.
