nothin' much

Well, I guess we've been pretty boring. Doesn't seem like much to write about. School is still going great for Shayne....he got 100% on his spelling test last week. He stayed after for a club called School of Rock. Jack Black wasn't there but they did attempt to play Rock Band. I think he may try it again next week.
Jeff and Shayne went Boy Scout camping last weekend. They had a good time. Got a little cold Saturday night,but the rest of the time was fine. I went to the movies and dinner with my sister and a friend. We saw Secret Life of Bees which I really enjoyed. But beware, it is a tear jerker. Now I'm reading the book. This weekend is full. Jeff's cousin, Kari, is getting married on Saturday and we have the Fall Festival at church Sunday night. Maybe I'll have pictures to post by then. I've actually enjoyed our boring life for the past week. It's been nice.

Best Conference EVER

I am happy to say that we just got back from Shayne's conference and it was a WONDERFUL experience. He is doing great. He has adjusted to Middle School extremely well. He LOVES his teachers and I can say that the ones we spoke to tonight think highly of him too. He is just a great, happy kid now. And they said that he is sweet, kind and respectful. We are just very proud. It feels great to leave a conference like that. And even into the 2nd grading period his grades are awesome so far. WooHoo!!!!

Dog Park

I know, how exciting can a Dog Park really be. But it is for Star. She loves to run with all the other dogs and then it wears her out for the rest of the day...that's the best part.
We did have some excitement though...not pleasant. Shayne and I were sitting on a bench watching Star play. Other dogs will come up to you and want some attention. Well one little boy dog apparently wanted to mark his territory. So as we were talking Shayne felt something warm and wet on his leg...he got peed on. The owner was so embarrassed and brought water to clean off his leg and while all that was going on her little doggie came over to me and peed on my leg...luckily I had jeans on. She poured water on me too. She was so distraught that her dog would do such a thing. Shayne and I just laughed it off and came home with a story to tell.

A Fun Day

Shayne and I decided to spend some time at Purina Farms to watch the Dog Agility National Championship.
It was okay to take dogs so Star came along. When she noticed the dogs "working" she watched with excitement and cried because she wanted to play with them.

We then went to Lone Elk Park and saw Buffalo
and 3 Elk. One was in the water when we 1st arrived but the picture wasn't that great.
The weather was perfect and Shayne said that the whole thing was very worth it. He and I plan on taking Star to a dog park tomorrow. We went last week and she loved it.
