Preston's 8th Birthday!

On March 22nd, we had a before-the-actual-day birthday party for Preston with 4 families (26 people). Mom made enchiladas, mexican rice, mandarin orange salad and ice cream cake for dessert.  Emma and Libby and I shot my bow and arrows before dinner and when we came in, our fingers felt like ice cubes, it was so cold! But the enchiladas warmed us up, and we had a fun evening with friends.





On Preston's actual birthday, we went to Bozeman and ate dinner at Applebee's. He got a free birthday dessert!



Mom and Dad's old friend Sherry from Skagway, AK stopped by on her return roadtrip. :)

Dad finished one of his rock walls on our house!

Newsboys Concert!

On March 8th, I went with my Youth Group to see a Newsboys concert at the MSU campus in Bozeman. We got there at 6pm and didn't leave until 10:30! There were a few small performances before the Newsboys actually came out. When we got there, we thought that our general admission passes meant that we could sit down on the chairs they had set up....but when we arrived, they told us we had to stand on the sides or wherever we could find a place to stand. It was still really entertaining and it was a big turn out.

All Things New.

Newsboys!



I looked away for just a second and when I looked back, the drummer's platform was up in the air....


...then it started spinning!!


All of the bands that performed that night came out for picture time. :)
