Amy wants to know who the band is so she can get their CD.

We tried to get Nick to go dance for a free CD but he was too shy.

The entertainment didn't stop with the concert in front of us. Behind our seats was a gal doing the hula hoop. I only got a picture of her with one hoop but she could twirl two of them up and down her body and did it for over half an hour without missing.

Before the night ended, we sat in on a jazz band from Chicago. An old man got up and started dancing around the whole arena. He was working the crowd and having a great time. I was not the only one taking pictures. I think he may be homeless because his clothes were badly torn, but he had on nice new dancing shoes. I love to people watch and in this case, it was no exception.

This is the way we all felt at the end of the night.

Emerson had the right idea. Until next year....

This is Toby's signature smile

The birthday kids

I have a little lady in my life that I love. She is barely 5 feet tall, full of spit and vinegar and has a heart of gold. She would, and does, help anyone who asks her to do anything. I'm trying to teach her the word "NO" but so far she is not very good at it. She married my son 15 years ago, came down from Alaska to live with us (she was alone) brought my first grandson with her and waited for Shon to join her. What a huge adjustment she must have had. She rarely got back to Alaska and has made Montana her home. She has given me 4 beautiful grandchildren. She teaches them correct principles , she loves my son unconditionally, and I think she even loves Wayne and me a lot too. I am so proud of the woman she has become and consider her my daughter and one of my best friends. Happy Birthday Kee. One of the grandchildren she gave us was also born on her birthday. Toby is 8 and was baptised on Sunday. What a doll he is. He is one of those children that was born with a happy soul. When he was tiny, he smiled 24/7 and loved everyone. He is a fun little guy that always has a giggle to share. He always has a hug for you and will hold your hand any time. We love you Toby William and Happy Birthday to you too.

The season has ended

Nick was on a soccor team again this year and his coach was none other than his Dad, Matt

I can't even imagine being a coach. I have seen so many mouthy parents, kids that won't try or ones that try too hard to get all the play time and glory. I give Matt a pat on the back for coaching several years in a row. Nick sometimes feels that his Dad is too hard on him, but it makes him work harder and he has turned into a good little soccor player. These are pictures of the last game of the season. Up until the last two games they were undefeated. It was hard on Nick to lose the last two as you can see on the expression on his face. He played hard and we were glad we got to see him play.

Heads up Nick

There is a lot of hustle in that boy!

Two handsome and brilliant fathers!
