Baseball started today w/ a parade of all the little league teams through town. Olivia and Boyd are on the same T-ball team and Isaac is playing baseball. Isaac's team is the Cardinals, his Grandpa David's favorite team. There was sunshine today for the kids games. It made it to the upper 60's (67 by the car's temp.) w/ only a little breeze.
I still have not been able to send the pictures. Shutterfly keeps crashing Explorer. I've used it quite a few times, so I don't know what is up with it. I'll set up an account w/another and try that.

May 2008
Tomorrow is Isaac's birthday. He's already got his gift from us, a new mountain bike. He rode it for the first time today. Heather has been gone this weekend to Steamboat Springs with the women's group from church. The kids and I walked around a little down town, cleaned the back yard today, went to a small dirt bicycle track, and went fishing at a local wma pond. Heather has only been gone since yesterday, but we will be glad when she gets back tomorrow afternoon.
I've got lots of pictures to share, but I don't have the time right now to upload them. Actually I'm too tired to upload them right now (11:40 PM). I was trying to upload them to Shutterfly and email the album to everyone like I used to do, but it keeps making Explorer shut down.
The weather was very nice today and it appears that spring may be here to stay. All of the snow had melted out of our yard besides a big pile along the back (north) side of the house, but it decided to snow about 12" last week. Thank goodness all of that is now gone too.
We killed turkeys here in CO during the third weekend (April 26). Lot of luck involved. We also hunted Nebraska last weekend and took the snow to NE with us. Saturday was rain and snow. Sunday morning was cold and snow on the ground. Sunday afternoon got really nice and all the snow disappeared. Then Monday morning (our last) was really nice. We saw lots of turkeys, found lots of tracks, and heard several on Monday morning. We didn't kill a bird, but we will be going back next year.
The kids will be out of school soon. I'm sure they are looking forward to Summer break. I know heather is. I believe they will be coming home to IL to visit during last part of July and first part of August. I'll probably help her drive home then fly back to Denver the next day so I can go back to work. Then I'll fly from Denver to Nashville a couple weeks later to help her drive back. So, I'll get all the fun of the drive without any of the visiting.
I've got an assortment of tags coming again this year. Hopefully the turkey has broken the dry spell. I plan to do a lot of scouting this year closer to Leadville where I found elk last year. I'm sure Isaac will spend a lot of days in the mountains with me this year. Olivia and Boyd will both want a few days out also.
I'll try to get those photos out soon.
