We had a wonderful time at Erin’s this Easter Sunday.
Anna run the pony rides, and we did some training with Erin’s dog, Bear.
We also go in our regular (not) “Easter-themed” board game, Blood Rage! Michelle won in the final round with an amazing quest upgrade.
We played a game of Moonrakers with Erin as well, which Jason won in a photo-finish.
It was a very busy year for us all.
Ashton is overhauling his website business. He’s been creating and marketing custom website designs since 2003 with Websites in a Flash, but has started to really focus on online marketing (SEO and online ads).
Anna’s continues to run her horse barn, Whispering Oaks and her dog-breeding business, Sweet Pine Puppies. She has been enjoying learning so much about dogs and dog training.
Atley is 7
He loves art more than anything. He draws and paints. He loves training dogs with Mom.
Anna is Atley’s Cub Scout Leader as a Wolf. Atley loves soccer. He’s competitive and loves challenging his brother.
He loves to play with his two best friends, who are neighbors.
Archer is 9
He loves reading and math.
He just learned how to solve the rubik’s cube in about a minute.
He is in the Webelo Cub Scouts. Ashton is his leader.
Archer also loves soccer and Karate. He just earned his Purple belt.
All the boys went to a local Oregon cub scout camp, which was a blast!
Rosco was Anna and my first dog. He arrived at our house the very first morning after we moved into our Montana Ranch, after living in a truck bed.
He was the sweetest dog we could ask for, and we’re so happy for the many years of endless love he shared with us.
He was a great learner and quickly learned to be great friends with his sister, Mocha.
Atley is 6 (almost 7) and Archer is 9. This is our first time camping outside with both boys (only Archer has gone to a summer camp before). This is our first time at Butte Creek, and although the staff shortage was very noticeable, the boys had a blast!
Our pack is pack 215, and we brought 10 kids and 8 adults. We were put in the Yellow Rose campsite with pack 503, who had 3 kids (all bears) and 3 adults.
Here’s a video of the skit we did at the closing campfire:
Archer is in the tan shirt, and Atley is 5th from the left.
Dad says, “Strawberries are like candy!”
Atley says, “No. Candy is like candy.”
