What a great weekend!

A beautiful, sunny weekend with temperatures in the 70's was perfect!

Saturday the kids and I did a little shopping in town and then came back home for some outside playtime. On Sunday, Clay was off work so we decided to go fishing and have some baseball practice. We were blessed with a perfect weather weekend to spend together outdoors!

 

 

 

Sweetness!

 

Bubbles!

 

They were flying :)

 

Fishing at the Little Muddy River

 

 

Finally flip flop weather!!

 

 

 

Fishing the Little Missouri River

 

Mommy caught the first and only catch of the day. A baby catfish!

 

Kool aid face :)

 

She caught it! This will be Madison's first year playing baseball. She's very excited and she's doing such a great job learning everything. She's mastered ground balls and is doing great catching! She also throws the ball perfect! I think she's going to do great!

Sunshine, Oranges, and Dirt!

Excuse the mess! Our little boy is normally covered in dirt and before I took the pictures I decided not to wipe him off. He's a tough little boy who loves him some dirt....along with markers, a few trucks and oranges :)

 

 

My sweet baby girl eating her cutie oranges!

 

Whooo-Whooo!

It's finally a Sunshiny, warm 74°day in our town! Yes, we were soaking up that sunshine!

 

Running down the hill is always fun!

 

Ok, this is me snapping a pic while the little boy's in timeout. Poor baby :(

 

Back in action....

 

We're in for a beautiful weekend and we can't wait to soak up some more sunshine!!!

Earth Day!!

Here's our dirt in a cup treats for Madison's class to celebrate Earth Day! By dirt in a cup I mean.....brownie chunks, crumbled oreo cookies & gummy worms! I had some sweet little helpers in the kitchen with me and they got to enjoy samples ;)

 

Rodeo Time!!

Rodeo time has started!

This weekend, Williston was hosting the Badlands Professional Rodeo!

 

 

Jackson loved the cowboys and bulls. He says "I wanna ride them!" :)

 

Momma's girl, Maddie loved the rodeo too! She's anxiously waiting for the next!

 

Cowboys Prayer

 

We did witness a cowboy getting bucked off and breaking his arm :(

 

Yes, I dyed my hair back dark :) I missed it!!

 

 

We had a fabulous night at the rodeo. If schedules go in our favor we'll be going to the PBR Rodeo in New Town next weekend!

Gummy Sharks & Bug Juice!

Jackson was enjoying his snack while we were waiting on Sissy to get out of school...

 

 

Blizzard Storm Xerxes----X marks the Northern Plains!

It's Spring, right?

 

Well, us in North Dakota wouldn't know that! Yesterday, we got 24 inches of snow! In one day-that's crazy and shattered records for the area!

 Madison's having her first snow day. School was cancelled today because of all the snow.

Record snowfall and blizzard conditions have buried ND in 20+ inches of snow. Click the link below for more about conditions.

News story on record snowfall!

 

 

Roads are closed or no travel is advised for most of the state.

 

 

Power lines down in SD, from the same storm. I'm very thankful that hasn't happened to us!

 

 

This image is of the "whiteout" on the interstate just south of where we are! Keep in mind, it's a 4 lane interstate. Where's the road?

 

 

 

Here's radar showing what's already passed through us and what's yet to come.

 

I'd definitely say we fell into the 12+ inches category!
