Okay so whats been going on...

I've been a little preoccupied with a friends plight over in Switzerland. McLain Ward was showing in a big International event, was favored to win and half way through was doing just that. But then the powers that be decided to disqualify him for a bogus call and don't allow an appeal! It's a big mess and I've been following it online and also debating the issue on a few websites. If you google "McLain Ward" and click news it will all come up.
Then during all this Casino (my old guy who's picture is on here at the top) has been sick. Well he's had a temperature and no other symptoms. So I've been keeping an eye on his temp and giving him meds. I think he is finally over what ever it was but I am still keeping him on meds for a few days.
Now for the kids, I created a monster with Tyler and the blower. He was playing with a small plug in fan blowing the barn out and then I told him to try the plug in blower because it isn't much louder then that. Well now that is all he wants to do! The good news: I don't have to do the blower and wears ear protection. The bad news: He's not very skilled at getting the barn clean and he wants to use it constantly! The noise is a bit annoying!!
Emily has been on a strict 6am wake up call, and it's getting old! I don't why she wants to get up that early! Usually the days I need her to get up early she wants to sleep in!
Tyler's done some nice pictures in school lately here are a couple:
