Here is Brianna pictured with my former high school science teacher, Mr. Jim Collins who is one of the founders of the Earth Day celebration at the National Guard Armory in Bismarck. He was helping the kids make their rain sticks this year. It is always fun to see him. He really was one of my favorite teachers!

Mr. Travis decided to get his face painted like a pirate while at Earth Day this year. They even had someone making baloon shapes for the kids so naturally he had to get a sword! Doesn't he look scary!

Here is Travis listening to a presentation on water quaility. The woman who was doing the presentation told me later that she was really impressed with the kind of questions Travis asked her. She was also impressed that he knew what "cover crop" was and what "no-till" meant! Not bad for a kindergartener!

Here are the kids with a weed at this year's Earth Day Celebration in Bismarck. We have gone every year since they started it 3 years ago. The kids always have a lot of fun and we learn so much about how to take care of our precious mother earth.

Here is a pic of the cool knitting tatoo that my friend Bethany has. She came to my class in Richardton and I just had to get a picture of it. She gave me the name of the guy who did it for her. Robert just shock his head when I showed it to him!

Here are some of the ladies who were busy spinning at the Advanced Spinning class that I taught on April 17th at Sacred Heart in Richardon. Students worked with exotic fibers and I unveiled my newest scarf pattern, "Wild Thing Scarf" that showcases the yarn that we spun. I will be posting te pattern on Ravlery soon.

More of the ladies spinning!

Had a great time visiting too!

Here are Bob and Travis holding the first set of twins that were born this season. They were born 3 days before the big Good Friday storm that went through and are much bigger now! The one on the right is Freedom (doeling) and on the left is Constiution (buckling). We are using all Patriotic names this year.

This is another one of the new baby goats. Her name is Independence and she is part lamancha (notice no ears?!) Brianna and Travis think she is a keeper. I think so too!

Here is Brianna with the newest baby goat, Besty Ross who was born on April 22. She has a twin brother that has been named Constitution. (We are using Patiotic themed names this year.) This little girl will more than likely be Brianna's show goat for 4H this year.

Travis Won A Bike!

Pictured is Mr. Paul Unruh and Travis with his new bike. Mr. Unruh is from the Flasher Society of Masons who sponored the bike giveaway. Travis was presented with his new bike at the Family Fun Night on April 17. He is very excited and can't wait to take it for a spin!
