A Nice Day

It was a good Saturday spent at the Petty Ranch with Alana, Bo and Cole. The kids and I packed up mid morning and headed south. It was a fun day with the kids, 80 degrees and windy outside. Despite the wind, it was a nice day and we played outside some. As it was getting dark, the clouds started to come in and it rained a bit.

Boomer Sooner says Judd.

As soon as we went outside, Amelia jumped on the tractor.

Going to feed the heifers.

Judd jumped on the front for a ride.

Saige bent over and said "Stacy!"

Gotta love Saige's cheese face.

Jett was saying "put me in coach!"

Wine Tasting, Ness City, Sandy, Elections

Last Saturday was the 4th Annual Wine Tasting fundraiser at the arts center. It was a great evening and we had the most people we have had at 91 people. Mom did alot of of the food and put in a lot of work for the night, so pretty much all of the credit goes to her for what a success it was.

If there is dancing, you know it's a good party.

 I stayed late to hang out with a few people that were left and lock up. After everyone left, I left the building and did a manuever I'd like to call a "Ness City." Let's just say that that this Jackass like stunt is a perfect way to get a few nice bruises, a limp, and a bruised ego. To quote a wise man, Mr. Forrest Gump, "That's all I've got to say about that."

Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast last week. Sharon and Vinson, our artist friends from Brooklyn, we affected by the storm. Today I had art class at the school with K-5 students, so we made cards for them.

Yesterday was election day and President Obama was re-elected to another term. I don't have much to say about it, other than do not be anxious about anything.

Typical

Typically after I pick the kids up from daycare and we get home, they watch a movie while I get supper ready. This was yesterday.

Pied piper

All the kiddos gathered around grandpa bob and a huge container of cheese balls.

Halloween 2012

Halloween 2012 was a success. Amelia wanted to be a princess, and she wanted to wear the skirt and headband Aunt Sandy made for her birthday. So, I guess the costume I made can be used another time. We had trunk or treat downtown, went to the soda fountain, Big Well, and then around town to a few houses. The kids got a load of candy, and Travis and I are already getting into it. No good.

Star Wars

The other night at dinner we were talking about what the kids did that day, movies, etc. Amelia said "that one with Han Solo and the water, it's too scary. That water's yuck. I'm sorry dad I don't like that. Megaminds good, I like Alladin, Rapuzel, I'm not tired of that one."

A couple of weeks ago, Travis thought he'd introduce the kids to the world of Star Wars, so they watched a bit of the first movie. Apparently, they are not quite ready for it.

Maybe you had to be there, but it was hilarious. I wish my camera would have been handy so I could have gotten a video of it.
